What is THORSwap Explorer?
THORSwap Explorer provides a unified view of THORChain network data. It surfaces live and historical activity—swaps, adds/removes of liquidity, pool states, gas usage, and node/chains status—so traders and LPs can make informed decisions.
The dashboard is read-only: it doesn’t control funds or execute swaps. Instead, it reads on-chain events and indexer data to render charts, tables, and KPIs in a clean interface.
Key Metrics at a Glance
- Pool Depth & APY: Gauge liquidity and fee yield trends for each pool.
- Swap Routes & Slippage: Inspect inbound/outbound legs and expected price impact.
- Chain Health: View connected chains status and vault availability.
- Fees & Gas: Track protocol fees, gas rates, and outbound delays during congestion.
- Node/Network: Monitor churn events, bond totals, and security posture.
How to Use the Dashboard
- Open the Explorer and land on the overview page for top-level KPIs.
- Navigate to Pools to compare depth, volume, fees, and APY; click a pool for detailed charts.
- Use Swaps to search a transaction by hash, address, or token symbol and verify confirmations.
- Check Chains to confirm inbound/outbound status before executing large swaps.
- Export table views (CSV) for analytics or treasury reporting when available.
Tip: During high volatility, watchoutbound queueandestimated delayto plan timing for big transfers.
Filters, Search & Customization
- Time Ranges: Toggle 24h / 7d / 30d / custom to reveal trends, not just snapshots.
- Assets & Chains: Include/exclude BTC, ETH, ATOM, LTC, etc., or isolate a single chain.
- Addresses: Filter by your wallet to audit personal swaps or LP events.
- Denom & Currency: Switch between RUNE, USD, or fiat estimates for comparability.
- Dark Widgets: Embed lightweight tiles (TVL, Volume) into your reports or sites if provided.
Security & Best Practices
Explorers are informational tools—always confirm details in your wallet and on-chain. To stay safe:
- Bookmark the official Explorer URL to avoid phishing clones.
- Verify token identifiers and pool addresses before swapping or adding liquidity.
- Cross-check large moves against chain health and outbound queues.
- Protect API keys or custom endpoints if you use programmatic access.
Final Thoughts
THORSwap Explorer turns raw THORChain data into actionable insights. Whether you’re timing a cross-chain swap, evaluating LP yield, or monitoring network health, the dashboard offers a clear, real-time window into the protocol—without sacrificing self-custody.
