# NearBlocks

> The leading block explorer for the NEAR ecosystem

NearBlocks is a blockchain explorer and analytics platform for the NEAR Protocol. It provides transaction search, token tracking, and API access for developers and users.

NearBlocks is a blockchain explorer, search, and analytics project focused on the NEAR Protocol network. It gives developers, validators, and everyday users a way to look up blocks, transactions, accounts, and smart contract activity across mainnet and testnet. The project positions itself as an independent resource for accessing NEAR chain data rather than an official arm of any single foundation.

The platform works by indexing on-chain activity and exposing it through a browser-based interface as well as a REST API. Users can search for specific transactions, monitor fungible tokens, NFTs, and multi-token activity, and view real-time data feeds covering gas fees and validator performance. It operates independently of the network's supporting foundation, offering its data services as a separate, unaffiliated project.

Beyond the core explorer, NearBlocks offers tiered developer API plans for teams building applications that need reliable chain data, alongside charts and statistics pages for tracking network activity. It also provides sponsored placement options for projects seeking visibility within the NEAR community. The platform is used by individual developers, enterprise teams, and general users seeking transparent access to blockchain data on NEAR.

## Products

- [NearBlocks Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nearblocks): NearBlocks Explorer is a browser-based block explorer for NEAR Protocol that enables search and visualization of blocks, transactions, accounts, tokens, and smart contract events on mainnet and testnet. Users inspect validator activity, staking data, token transfers, NFT events, and account access keys through the explorer interface. It also provides analytics and charts covering prices, gas usage, and historical network aggregates. (Block Explorer, Live, Main Product)
- [NearBlocks API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nearblocks): NearBlocks API is an onchain data API that provides indexed NEAR Protocol blockchain data through REST endpoints for application development. Developers query transaction history, account balances, token data, and smart contract events, accessing the service through tiered subscription plans ranging from a free personal tier to commercial and enterprise plans with higher rate limits and service-level support. A separate dashboard handles account management, plan upgrades, and API key configuration. (OnChain Data API, Live)
