Layout

The homepage shows four stat cards above a live Latest Transactions feed:

Card What it shows
Network (GH/s) Hashrate (always - on a pure PoS chain)
Difficulty Two lines: POW: x.xxx and POS: x.xxx
Coin Supply (POT) Fixed at 420,000,000
BTC Price Market feed (may read 0.00000000 BTC until wired)

The footer shows current block height and peer count, updated live.

Placeholder text reads exactly: "You may enter a block height, block hash, tx hash or address."

  1. Paste any of the following

  • A block height — integer, e.g. 696
    • A block hash — 64 hex chars, e.g. 000001b8e7e172fd...
    • A transaction id — 64 hex chars, copied from your wallet
    • A PotCoin address — base58 starting with P

Common workflows

Check a payment you sent or received

  1. Copy the txid from your wallet's history
  2. Visit https://explorer.potcoin.com/tx/<txid>
  3. Look at vout for the output amounts and recipient addresses
  4. confirmations ≥ 6 = safely settled for normal transfers.

Look up an address balance

  1. Web view

Visit https://explorer.potcoin.com/address/<P-address> for sent / received / balance / tx history.

  1. One-line API call

   $ curl https://explorer.potcoin.com/ext/getbalance/<P-address>

  1. Full activity dump

   $ curl https://explorer.potcoin.com/ext/getaddress/<P-address>
   {
     "address": "<P-address>",
     "sent": 0,
     "received": 0,
     "balance": 0,
     "last_txs": [...]
   }

PotCoin is a transparent PoS chain — getinfo returns the standard Iquidus fields (version, blocks, connections, difficulty, moneysupply). No privacy flags; every transaction is visible on-chain.

Full API endpoint reference

All endpoints return JSON unless noted. The explorer is Iquidus v1.7.4 — these match the upstream Iquidus API.

Endpoint Returns
/api/getinfo Node state: version, blocks, connections, difficulty, moneysupply
/api/getblockcount Current chain height (number)
/api/getdifficulty PoW + PoS difficulty
/api/getblockhash?index=N Block hash for height N
/api/getblock?hash=X Full block JSON
/api/getrawtransaction?txid=X&decrypt=1 Decoded transaction
/api/getaddress/<addr> Raw RPC address view
/api/getbalance/<addr> Balance via RPC
/api/gettx/<txid> Raw RPC transaction detail
/ext/getmoneysupply Plain-text supply
/ext/getdistribution Wealth distribution buckets
/ext/getlasttxs/<count> Recent tx feed
/ext/getaddresstx/<addr> Address transaction history

Pure-PoS note/api/getnetworkhashps returns "Method not found" because pure-PoS chains have no hashrate after LAST_POW_BLOCK = 500.
