What is the LitVM block explorer

A block explorer is a search engine for a blockchain. It lets you look up any transaction, wallet address, contract deployment, or token transfer that has ever occurred on LitVM — without needing a wallet or any permission. The LitVM block explorer is available at lester-labs.com/explorer, powered by a LitVM RPC node with full indexing support. Every action on LitVM — a token swap, a contract deployment, a governance vote, an airdrop distribution — generates a transaction that is permanently recorded on the chain and visible through the explorer.

The LitVM block explorer is fully public. You do not need to connect a wallet or have any balance to use it. You can look up any LitVM address, transaction, or contract at any time.

How to search on the LitVM block explorer

The LitVM block explorer at lester-labs.com/explorer accepts three primary search types: wallet addresses, transaction hashes, and block numbers. Paste any Ethereum-format address (0x...) into the search bar to see its full history.

Searching for a wallet address

1

Paste the address

Paste any LitVM wallet address into the search bar at lester-labs.com/explorer. Press Enter.

2

Read the address overview

The explorer shows the current balance (in zkLTC), the total number of transactions sent and received, and the age of the wallet (first seen at block). For contracts, it additionally shows the deployed code.

3

Review the transaction history

Scrolling down shows every transaction involving that address: swaps, transfers, contract deployments, LP interactions, governance votes. Each row shows the method called, the amount, the gas used, and a link to the full transaction.

4

Check token holdings

The Tokens tab on an address page shows every ERC-20 token held by that wallet and the current balance. Useful for checking whether a target wallet holds a specific project token.

Reading a LitVM transaction

1

Find the transaction hash

Every LitVM transaction has a unique hash (0x...). On lester-labs.com/explorer, paste the hash into the search bar to open the transaction detail page.

2

Check the status

The top of the transaction page shows Status (Success / Failed), the block number it was included in, and the gas used. A confirmed transaction shows the block number and a link to the block.

3

Read the method called

For contract interactions, the Method field shows the function name (e.g. "swapExactETHForTokens" or "create" for a token deployment). This tells you what the transaction did without reading the raw input data.

4

Verify token transfers

The Tokens Transferred section shows every ERC-20 token moved in the transaction: the token, the amount, and the from/to addresses. For a swap, this shows input and output tokens.

Exploring blocks

1

Navigate to the block explorer

Go to lester-labs.com/explorer/block/[number] — or click any block number from a transaction page. The block page shows all transactions included in that block.

2

Read block metadata

Each block shows its number, timestamp, gas used, gas limit, transaction count, and the miner or validator address. Gas used vs limit tells you how full the block was.

3

Monitor chain health

Watch block times and gas usage over time at lester-labs.com/explorer/health. Consistent block times and moderate gas usage indicate a healthy, uncongested LitVM network.

Tracking tokens on LitVM

1

Find a token contract

Search for a token by its contract address on lester-labs.com/explorer. The Token page shows the token name, symbol, total supply, decimals, and the deployer address.

2

View token holders

The Holders tab shows the top wallets holding the token and their balance. Useful for verifying distribution and checking whether team or investor wallets hold large portions.

3

Find token transfers

The Transfers tab shows every transfer of that token: sender, recipient, amount, and transaction hash. Useful for auditing airdrop distributions or tracking large wallet movements.

Verifying your own LitVM activity

After using any Lester Labs dApp on LitVM — deploying a token, running a swap, creating an LP position, locking tokens — you can verify the result on the explorer. Search your wallet address and confirm the transaction appears. This is the definitive proof of on-chain activity: the block explorer records everything permanently, without any reliance on the dApp being online. This is one of the core properties of blockchain: public verifiability. The LitVM block explorer at lester-labs.com/explorer is your interface to that permanent record.
