DemX Explorer
Just as you would use Google to search the internet, you can use DemX Explorer to search the DemX blockchain.
DemX Explorer is a block explorer for the DemX blockchain. It allows users to easily search and browse transactions and blocks. It also provides information about each transaction and block.
How does DemX Explorer work?
DemX Explorer is built on top of the DemX blockchain, so it can access all of the data stored on it. It uses a combination of technologies, including blockchain explorers, web3 libraries, and decentralized applications (dApps), to display this information in an easy-to-use format.
There are three parts to this:
Fetching data
Storing data
Producing data
Fetching data
DemX Explorer relies on something called an Application Programming Interface, or API.
An API is a set of programming instructions that enables one piece of software to interact with another. In the case of DemX Explorer, the API allows the block explorer to communicate with the DemX blockchain.
Think of this like a phone book. The phone book contains a list of names and numbers, which is the API. When you want to call someone, you look up their name in the phone book and find their number.
The same goes for DemX Explorer. When you want to find information about a transaction or block, you use the DemX Explorer API to find it.
The DemX Explorer API is based on the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification. That means it uses JavaScript Object Notation, or JSON, to communicate with the DemX blockchain.
Each time a transaction is made on the DemX network, it is broadcast to all nodes on the network. The nodes then verify the transaction and add it to the blockchain.
The DemX Explorer API allows the block explorer to access this data from the DemX blockchain. This data includes the transaction hash, timestamp, amount paid, and gas used.
The API also allows the block explorer to access other data, such as the current block height and the gas price.
Storing data
Once the block explorer has accessed the data from the DemX blockchain, it needs to store it somewhere.
DemX Explorer stores the data in a relational database, also known as “SQL Database,” which is a type of database that stores data in tables.
Each table has a specific structure, and the data in each table is related to the data in other tables. This relationship allows the block explorer to easily retrieve and display the data.
Producing data
The final phase is producing the data. This is where the block explorer takes the data from the DemX blockchain and presents it in a way that is easy for humans to understand.
Now that we know how DemX Explorer works, let's take a look at some of the things you can do on it. View DemX Explorer from the link below.
