What is THORSwap Explorer?
THORSwap Explorer is a purpose-built on-chain analytics and monitoring interface for the THORSwap ecosystem and THORChain protocol. It surfaces live data about native cross-chain swaps, pool liquidity, price impact, node activity and broader network metrics so traders, liquidity providers (LPs), and developers can make informed decisions. Rather than relying on third-party summaries, THORSwap Explorer pulls verifiable on-chain events and presents them with filtering, historical charts and transaction drill-downs.
Why Traders & LPs Use THORSwap Explorer
- Transparency: Inspect swap flows and confirm that native assets move through THORChain pools without custodial bridges or wrappers.
- Market Awareness: Monitor recent swaps, large trades, and liquidity shifts to anticipate slippage and price movements.
- Pool Insights: View TVL (total value locked), fees earned, depth, and impermanent loss exposure for each pool.
- Audit Trails: Trace individual transactions across chains — useful for dispute resolution or compliance checks.
- Network Health: Track node status, block settlement times and protocol performance metrics to assess operational risk.
Key Pages & Tools in THORSwap Explorer

How to Use THORSwap Explorer — Quick Steps
- Open the Explorer from an official starting point such as the THORSwap interface: app.thorswap.finance or the THORChain hub at thorchain.org.
- Navigate to Live Swaps to observe current cross-chain activity and identify recent large swaps.
- Use the Pools tab to inspect TVL, fee earnings and depth for a given asset pair.
- Drill into a swap to view the on-chain transactions, confirmations and final native asset receipts.
- Save queries or export CSVs for internal reporting or on-chain research.
Best Practices When Relying on Explorer Data
- Always confirm addresses and transaction hashes in the explorer — copy/paste errors happen.
- Use small test trades when following an unexplored route to verify expected output and fees.
- Combine Explorer insights with market data from aggregators (CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap) for broader context.
- Remember cross-chain finality can vary: a swap may show initiated status before the destination chain finalizes.
FAQs — THORSwap Explorer
1. What can I see on THORSwap Explorer?
You can see real-time cross-chain swaps, pool liquidity and performance, transaction traces, fee breakdowns and network health indicators.
