# Network Explorer

The explorer is a web application for looking at Tapenet without running anything:
current activity, protocol state, and metadata about stored data. It is hosted at
[explorer.tape.network](https://explorer.tape.network); deployment details are on the
[networks page](/protocol/architecture/networks).

Under the hood it's an indexer built on the same replay that powers nodes and gateways, so everything it shows is derived from chain history rather than anyone's claims ([how replay works](/protocol/architecture/tape-replay)).

## What it shows

* **Home**: aggregate network stats, the latest protocol events, and recent object writes.
* **Events**: the full event history, each linking to its Solana transaction.
* **Accounts**: detail views for the protocol's objects: epochs, committees, groups, nodes, the peer set, the archive, and system state.
* **Tapes and tracks**: what's stored where, by address or by number.

## Search

Paste any protocol address (a tape, a track, a node, a group, a vote) or search by the human-scale handles: an epoch number, a tape number, a track number within a tape, a node id, or a content hash.

Track addresses are protocol objects rather than live Solana accounts, so the explorer's replay index finds things a regular Solana explorer can't.

## Access

The hosted instance covers the current Tapenet environments
([networks](/protocol/architecture/networks)). Like everything else in the stack, you
can also run your own; the explorer ships in the repository alongside the node and
gateway.
