First of all, we want to thank everyone who sent us feedback on EthVM Beta! With your help we fixed bugs, made interface improvements, and ironed out the details. Today, we invite you to celebrate the official release of EthVM with us!

See your wallet balances and history

You will now find the EthVM link alongside Etherscan and Ethplorer in the Transaction History dropdown on MEW web. Follow the link to see your wallet’s ETH and token balances, owned NFTs, and full transaction history.

If crypto is being your own bank, using a blockchain explorer is like having direct access to all bank records — it can provide answers to many of your questions in minutes. You can see the true balances of wallets (even if your wallet interface is experiencing a glitch) and what actually happened with transactions.

Figure out transaction details

MEW interfaces are created to be simple and intuitive, so that most of the time you don’t need to think about the blockchain mechanics in the background. However, Ethereum is a work in progress, and there are still moments, like during periods of network congestion and high gas fees, when you may need to understand why transactions do or don’t go through as you expect.

In the transaction details view, you can verify which address it was sent to, and what was the gas limit, the gas price, and total transaction fee. This information, combined with some knowledge about the way gas works, can help you troubleshoot transactions that stay pending or fail.

Explore tokens and browse charts

Tokens based on smart contracts are the real MVPs of the Ethereum blockchain, providing the basis for DeFi, gaming, collectibles, crowdfunding, and many other kinds of DApps. EthVM offers a clear way to view all your ERC20 tokens and NFTs, as well as a dedicated page where you can explore the top 200 tokens by price, volume, market cap, and daily change.

If you are looking for something specific or just want to learn a bit more about the blockchain, EthVM makes it easy to find the most relevant information. Mined transactions, pending transactions, and gas prices — one menu click away.

Tag us, write us, tell us what you think

Even though EthVM is no longer in Beta, we encourage you to let us know about any bugs or suggestions by writing to support@ethvm.com. We hope that our blockchain explorer will continue to be a collaboration with the community of Ethereum developers and MEW users. Talk to us on Twitter, Reddit, and Github — we are always looking forward to hearing feedback and exploring Ethereum with you.
