The Nimiq ChainTracer is the new detailed explorer for the Nimiq blockchain, available now. Search for an address, a staking pool or a transaction, and see what came in, what went out and where it ended up.

It also looks at the Nimiq network as a whole: who runs the stake, how validators are performing, and what the chain is doing right now. The Nimiq Foundation’s wallets are listed too, with the NIM they hold and what moves in and out. It’s built for stakers, validators and anyone curious about what happens on the Nimiq blockchain.

Trace where NIM goes

Start from any address and the Nimiq ChainTracer follows its transfers step by step on a graph you can expand. Choose whether to see where the funds went, where they came from, or both, and connect two addresses to check whether NIM moved between them. Exchanges and swap services end a trace by default, since funds mix with everyone else's beyond them. Try the built-in example in the tracer: who burned NIM?

Spot staking events early

The home page keeps a short list of what deserves a closer look, such as a validator missing its slots, or stake that no longer earns rewards because its validator has retired. Each item links to its details, so stakers can check whether their stake is affected and decide whether to move it. The staking pages list the pools and validators, plus the largest stakes.

Check the chain's health

The chain health pages compare several Nimiq nodes against each other, block by block, to confirm they agree on the same blockchain data. They show how quickly blocks arrive, how many elected validators are producing, and whether anything unusual has happened in the last week, such as a temporary fork, a reorg or a stall. They're a quick way to check that the network is running normally.

See how pools pay their stakers

For each staking pool, the Nimiq ChainTracer compares what the pool says it keeps as a fee with what its stakers actually received over the same period. It also shows how often the pool pays out and whether a payout is running late. Custom payout addresses or schedules can explain a gap, so the results are evidence to look into, not a score for any pool.
