# Welcome to Zcash explorer {% hint style="info" %} The goal of this project is to make available a simple, reliable, privacy-friendly & open-source Zcash explorer built with modern frameworks. {% endhint %} The block explorer aims to serve the needs of Zcash users who need a reliable source of their Zcash transactions data and the status of the network while not depending on third party non-Zcash focussed explorers who often fail to keep the explorers updated per the changes happening in the Zcash ecosystem. Zcash explorer is an Elixir /Phoenix based application that allows users to search transactions, view blocks , accounts and balances. It also has features to allow users to broadcast a raw Zcash transaction, use payment disclosure functionality, viewing keys. {% hint style="info" %} an instance of this project is hosted at {% endhint %}
