# Starkscan

> Next-generation Starknet Block Explorer

Starkscan provides blockchain data access through a block explorer and API service for the Starknet Layer 2 network.

Starkscan helps users explore the Starknet blockchain by indexing on-chain data and making it accessible through a block explorer and API. Users can search transactions, blocks, and smart contracts, access verified contract information, and use the API to build applications that require Starknet data. The platform supports both mainnet and testnet environments, offers NFT tracking, and includes contract verification tools for developers building on Starknet.
