Blockchain's transparency is one of its most valued features, with transaction data "theoretically" accessible to everyone. However, for average users, navigating blockchain tools remains overly technical. Startups are working to bridge this gap—from user-friendly wallets to tools that track transaction histories.
Searchain is one such solution, offering a visual blockchain transaction search engine. Founder Wang Zun describes it as an account-centric tool where users input a wallet address to view transaction records in a graphical format. Clicking on related accounts reveals further details, creating a comprehensive transaction map.
Key Features:
- Address Classification: Labels accounts (e.g., exchange addresses, hacker addresses, ICO contracts) for context.
- Transaction Type Visualization: Distinguishes between token transfers and smart contract interactions.
- Future Goals: Monitor DApp activity, build metrics for ecosystem evaluation, and expand to Bitcoin network queries (coming late May).
Use Cases:
- Investors: Vet transaction histories for due diligence.
- Journalists: Track fund movements for investigations.
- Individuals: Analyze personal holdings and receive alerts for unusual activity (e.g., exchange inflows/outflows).
Team & Roadmap:
- Founder Wang Zun brings finance experience (Ping An, Sunlight Credit).
- To-C focus, with plans to grow traffic and explore monetization via community-building.
