2.3 The mainnet explorer and monitor are available for public to visit at any time

The QuarkChain mainnet has been live for a long time, along with the launch of the mainnet explorer for viewing transactions and network status. With the events of token swap and other activities, more and more community members owned the mainnet token, but lots of them do not know how to check the progress of the transactions. In addition, due to CoinmarketCap’s incorrect calculation of QKC’s circulating supply, which caused lots of misunderstanding of the real-time circulating supply of QuarkChain mainnet token. To solve these problems, we introduced the two tools: mainnet explorer and monitor.

Mainnet explorer: used to check all on-chain information

Mainnet monitor: check the real time block production and circulating supply
