Blockchair Launches Stacks Explorer For Bitcoin Layer 2

Blockchair is stepping up its game in blockchain exploration by rolling out full support for sBTC, a programmable Bitcoin asset that debuted on the Stacks mainnet in December 2024. The goal? To make Bitcoin’s growing ecosystem more accessible and user-friendly.

The new Stacks Explorer gives users a clear, detailed look at Stacks’ blockchain activity. Whether you’re a developer, researcher, or just someone curious about transactions, addresses, smart contracts, and tokens, this tool makes navigating the network effortless.

Nikita Zhavoronkov, CEO and Lead Developer at Blockchair, said the mission is to be the most powerful and versatile Bitcoin explorer, which requires supporting emerging Layer 2 solutions.

She added, “Stacks has been instrumental in extending Bitcoin’s functionality, so launching our Stacks Explorer felt like a natural step in reinforcing the broader Bitcoin ecosystem. We’re excited to bring our advanced search and analytics tools to Stacks users and developers, helping make on-chain data more accessible and fueling further innovation.”

Key Features of the Stacks Explorer:

  • Advanced Search & Analytics: Easily explore transactions, addresses, and smart contracts with new filtering options for detailed searches.
  • User and Developer Tools: Use sophisticated APIs, data dumps, interactive charts, AI Assistant, Smart-Search, PDF receipts, and wallet statements.
  • Detailed Address & Token Insights: View Stacks-native assets, including full support for sBTC transactions.
  • Nakamoto Upgrade Compatibility: Supports the latest Stacks advancements, including 100% Bitcoin finality.
  • Privacy-Focused: Provides a tracker-free experience to protect user privacy.

With the introduction of the Stacks Explorer, Blockchair is making it easier than ever to explore Bitcoin’s evolving ecosystem. Whether you are tracking Stacks-based DeFi activity or developers are building decentralized applications. The new tool provides all the resources you need.

As sBTC withdrawals are expected to be fully functional by March 2025, Blockchair’s commitment to Stacks and Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions marks a significant step toward driving mainstream adoption and innovation in the crypto space.

The Stacks Explorer is now live, providing users with the latest insights into the Stacks ecosystem and its sBTC integration.
