BTXScan

BTXScan is the block explorer for the BTX blockchain, operated at btxscan.io. It presents blocks, transactions, addresses, and the mempool in a browsable web interface, along with charts of network activity. BTXScan is closed-source software, maintained by the same team as PQ Wallet and qID.

#Features

The explorer covers the standard surfaces of a UTXO chain. Block pages show height, contained transactions, and timing against the network's 90-second target. Transaction pages show inputs, outputs, and signatures, including the OP_RETURN outputs that BZA1 artifact issuances use as their data lane. Address pages resolve the chain's bech32m btx1z addresses to their history and unspent outputs. A mempool view lists transactions awaiting confirmation, and chart pages track network-level measures over time.

Because BTX signs transactions with ML-DSA-44 and SLH-DSA-128s rather than ECDSA, and encodes all outputs as witness version 2 P2MR, existing Bitcoin explorer software does not parse the chain directly; BTXScan implements the BTX formats natively.

#Role on a young network

Block explorers give users a way to verify state without running a node: that a payment confirmed, how deep its confirmation is, and what the network is producing. On a young chain such as BTX, where the pool of independent infrastructure is small, an explorer is often the primary interface through which users and integrators observe the network. That concentration is worth understanding: an explorer displays chain data but is not itself a consensus participant, and anyone can verify the same data against a node built from the public source mirror.

Explorers also serve integrators. A service that accepts BTX payments needs to observe confirmation depth before treating a payment as final, and on a network whose hashrate is small compared to Bitcoin, waiting for deeper confirmation is the standard prudence. An explorer makes that state observable without each integrator operating a node, though operating one remains the trust-minimizing option.

#Source model

BTXScan is closed source. The service is used through its website; no public source repository is offered, and this entry makes no claims about its internals. This differs from qID, which is open source.

#Companion directory

btx.best is a companion directory site that catalogs software, services, and resources in the BTX ecosystem, including wallets such as PQ Wallet and bonuz wallet. BTXScan handles chain data; btx.best handles ecosystem navigation.
