Pera Explorer — How to Track Transactions and Assets

Pera Explorer — How to Track Transactions and Assets


What is Pera Explorer?

Pera Explorer is a blockchain explorer for Algorand — a public tool that lets you look up any transaction, account, asset, or block on the network. Think of it as the Algorand blockchain's search engine.

Access it at: explorer.perawallet.app Testnet version: testnet.explorer.perawallet.app

Everything on Algorand is public and verifiable. Pera Explorer makes it readable.


What You Can Look Up

Transactions

Enter a transaction ID to see full details: sender, receiver, amount, asset, timestamp, fees, and confirmation status. Useful for verifying that a transfer went through or checking the details of a swap.

Accounts

Enter any Algorand address to see its balance, asset holdings, transaction history, and whether it's been rekeyed. This is how you check on a watch account, verify a payment was received, or inspect an address before sending funds.

Assets (ASAs)

Search for any Algorand Standard Asset by name or ID. See its creator, total supply, verification status, and holder count. Use this to check whether an asset is verified before swapping or opting in.

Blocks

Browse blocks to see all transactions included in a specific round. Mostly useful for developers and advanced users.


Common Uses

"Did my transaction go through?"

  1. Open Pera Explorer
  2. Paste your transaction ID (find it in your Pera Wallet transaction history)
  3. Check the status — confirmed transactions show a green confirmation

"Is this asset legitimate?"

  1. Search for the asset name or ID on Pera Explorer
  2. Look for the verification badge — verified assets have been reviewed through Pera's ASA Verification process
  3. Unverified assets aren't necessarily scams, but exercise caution

"What's in this wallet?"

  1. Paste any Algorand address into the search bar
  2. View their full balance and opted-in assets
  3. Browse their transaction history

"Someone sent me a suspicious NFT"

  1. Look up the sending address on Pera Explorer
  2. Check if it matches Pera's official addresses
  3. If it's unfamiliar, don't interact with the NFT — see our Phishing & Scam Protection guide


ASA Verification and Project Verification

Pera runs two verification programs to help users identify trustworthy assets and projects:

ASA Verification — Individual Algorand assets can apply for verification. Verified assets display a badge on Pera Explorer and in Pera Wallet. This means the asset has been reviewed, not that it's endorsed. Apply at explorer.perawallet.app/asa-verification.

Project Verification — Broader project-level verification for teams building on Algorand. Apply at explorer.perawallet.app/project-verification.


Tips

  • Bookmark Pera Explorer. You'll use it more than you think — especially for verifying transactions and checking assets.
  • Use it alongside your wallet. If something looks off in your Pera Wallet, cross-reference it on Explorer for the full on-chain picture.
  • Transaction IDs are your receipts. For any important transfer, save the transaction ID. It's your permanent, verifiable proof.
  • Explorer is public. Anyone can look up any address. This is how blockchains work — transactions are transparent by design.
