Block chain browser

A block chain browser is a program or web site that lets users search and navigate a block chain. Uses include:

• checking address balances

• watching for transaction acceptance
• monitoring the network hash rate and other statistics

Block chain browsers typically offer:

• a list of a chain's recent blocks [1]
• transactions in a given block [2]
• links to the previous and next transaction involving each input and output [3]
• a list of all transactions involving a given address [4]
• current and historical address balances
