Using the Explorer & Viewing Certificate Details

Learn how to browse, search, and inspect certificates anchored by your organization. Use filters and detailed views to verify metadata, timestamps, and inclusion across accounts.

The Explorer is where you browse, filter, and inspect all certificates linked to your organization’s accounts. Whether you need to verify a record, track creation history, or validate a timestamp, the Explorer provides a fast, searchable interface for managing verifiable data.

Key Features

Certificate Table

Each row represents a certificate issued by your organization. You’ll see:

Certificate ID: A unique identifier for the certificate

Created On: Timestamp of when the certificate was anchored

Size: The on-chain size of the certificate data

Account: Which account issued the certificate

Action: Click View to inspect full details

You can sort each column, pick a specific creation date, or search by ID, account name, or metadata.

Certificate Details View

Clicking View opens a modal with full metadata for the certificate:

ID: Unique certificate identifier

Timestamp: UTC time the certificate was anchored

Block #: The block number in which the certificate was included

TX ID: Transaction ID on the chain

Size: Total size in kilobytes

Raw Data: With the abilty to swap between HEX and ASCII views.

Use this view to verify anchor details, check inclusion in the chain, or copy the data for audits or reporting.

You can also click View on Explorer to open a blockchain-level explorer tab with full traceability.

Tips for Use

Filter by Account: Narrow results to a specific blockchain account
