Blockchain explorers let you view your wallet’s full activity on each supported network. You may want to use them to confirm a transfer, look up a transaction ID, or review activity that isn’t showing in Phantom. You can also use them to check balances, view historical transactions, or verify that assets were received.
Step 1: Get the address you want to check
Browser extension
- Hover over your account name at the top.
- Select a network to copy its address.
Mobile app
- On the Home tab, tap Receive.
- For multi-chain accounts, Solana opens by default. Tap Solana to view the full list of networks.
- Select a network to copy its address.
Step 2: View the address on an explorer
- In your web browser, open the blockchain explorer for your network (for example, Solscan for Solana or Etherscan for Ethereum). For more links, see Blockchain explorers by network.
- Paste the address into the search bar and press
Enter.
You’ll see your balance, token holdings (including outcome tokens if you have open positions in prediction markets), and transaction history. Explorers also show spam transactions, which you should hide from view.
Tip: All transactions are permanently recorded on the blockchain. Even if you stop using your wallet or Recent Activity doesn’t show every transaction, you can still view your full history by searching your address in an explorer.
Step 3: Look up a transaction
If you want to look up a specific transaction, use its unique identifier.
Blockchain explorer
- After searching your wallet address, select the Transactions tab.
- Copy the transaction ID from the first column:
- On Solana, it’s called a transaction signature (shown in the Signature column).
- On Ethereum and other EVM chains, it’s called a transaction hash (TXID).
You can share this ID when confirming a transfer with an exchange or support team.
To view more details, select the transaction.
Phantom app
If you recently submitted a transaction, you can open it from Phantom. You can start here, and don’t need to copy an address or use an explorer first.
- Open Recent Activity (clock icon) to view history for the selected account:
- Browser extension: lower-right corner.
- Mobile app: the Home tab, upper-right corner.
- Select the transaction.
- Select View on [explorer] to open it in your browser.
The explorer opens to the transaction details page.
Blockchain explorers by network
Each blockchain network has its own explorer. Some networks support more than one. Phantom uses the following explorers by default.
| Network | Explorer |
|---|---|
| Solana | Orb (can be changed to Solscan in Settings → Preferences → Blockchain Explorer) |
| Ethereum | Etherscan |
| Monad | MonadVision |
| Base | BaseScan |
| Sui | SuiVision (can be changed in Settings → Preferences → Blockchain Explorer) |
| Polygon | PolygonScan |
| Bitcoin | Mempool |
| HyperEVM | HyperEVMScan |
It’s a good idea to bookmark trusted explorers, just like you would with your exchanges and wallet apps.
Troubleshooting
My wallet doesn't appear on an explorer
If your wallet doesn’t appear on a blockchain explorer or shows incomplete data, check the following:
- Make sure you’re using the explorer for the correct network.
- Refresh the page if recent transactions don’t appear yet.
- Confirm the address matches the one in Phantom exactly.
My token balance looks different in Phantom and on an explorer
If your token balance looks different on an explorer, check the following:
- Verify the token is on the same network and isn’t bridged to another chain.
- Some tokens shown in explorers may be hidden in Phantom. For steps to view them, see How to manage hidden tokens in Phantom.
