# Block Explorer

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Scroll Alpha Testnet is now deprecated.**

Please visit our new documentation for the Scroll Sepolia Testnet at <https://docs.scroll.io/>
{% endhint %}

We use the [BlockScout](https://github.com/blockscout/blockscout) project as [the block explorer](https://blockscout.scroll.io/) for the Scroll Alpha Testnet.

Here are some tips for using the block explorer:

* The homepage of the block explorer displays the general statistics of the network and the latest blocks and transactions.
* Clicking the block number and transaction hash on the homepage redirects you to the *Block Details* and *Transaction Details* page.
* You can search by address, transaction hash, or block number in the search box on the top right corner to find specific information.

### Additional Explorers

For looking into activity on Layer 1, use Etherscan's [Goerli Testnet Explorer](https://goerli.etherscan.io/).

For an alternative block explorer experience, Unifra has built [Scroll Explorer](https://scroll.l2scan.co/), which lets users explore additional aspects of the Scroll Alpha Testnet. [Dora](https://ondora.xyz/network/scroll-zkp/) also supports Scroll Alpha and provides a multi-chain view of blockchain activity.
