Private Zcash explorer

Look up Zcash (ZEC) blocks, transactions and transparent addresses without being tracked. No access logs, no cookies, no trackers, no account, and data from our own Zcash full node (Zebra).

Quick answer

Yes, you can check Zcash transactions privately. This explorer keeps no access logs, sets no cookies, runs no trackers and reads our own Zcash full node (Zebra). For the most privacy, open it in Tor Browser and search only the transaction ID.

Privacy by design

What makes this Zcash explorer private

No access logs

The explorer server keeps no record of which blocks, transactions or addresses you looked up.

Our own full node

Your searches are not passed on to a third-party node or API.

No cookies or trackers

No third-party analytics or scripts. We only count page views per day by page type (for example "tx pages: 410"). Nothing about you or what you look up is stored.

Never asks for keys

No viewing key, spending key or seed. They stay in your wallet.

No account

No sign-up and no email, so nothing links your lookups to an identity.

Works without JavaScript

Pages are built on the server. JavaScript updates times and confirmations and sends the page-view count, and every page works without it.

Like the rest of ghostswap.io, pages are delivered through Cloudflare, so Cloudflare can see that a connection was made. For the most privacy, open the explorer in Tor Browser.

Zcash privacy

What any Zcash explorer can and can't see

Visible on the blockchain

  • Blocks, heights and timestamps
  • Transaction IDs, fees and sizes
  • Transparent addresses and amounts
  • Counts of shielded spends, outputs and actions

Hidden by shielded transactions

  • Shielded senders and receivers
  • Shielded amounts
  • Encrypted memos
  • Shielded balances

For shielded payments the chain hides who paid whom, so a privacy-respecting explorer mainly needs to protect one more thing: what you search for.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there a private Zcash block explorer?

Yes. This one keeps no access logs, sets no cookies, loads no trackers or third-party scripts, and reads our own Zcash full node (Zebra), so your lookups never go to an outside node or API. You don't need an account.

Can a Zcash explorer see who I am or what I own?

Not from shielded transactions: they hide sender, receiver, amount and memo. Transparent addresses are public for everyone. What an explorer could learn is which transaction or address you looked up, and from which IP address. That is why the server should keep no logs, and why Tor Browser helps.

Should I paste my viewing key into a Zcash explorer?

We recommend against it. A viewing key shows the shielded payments of your wallet, so whoever runs the site could see them. Your own wallet does the same check on your device. This explorer never asks for a viewing key, spending key or seed.

Can I use this Zcash explorer over Tor?

You can open it in Tor Browser like any other website. We do not run an onion address for it yet.

What is the most private way to check a Zcash transaction?

Run your own Zcash node and wallet: then nothing leaves your computer. If you don't run a node, use an explorer that keeps no logs, open it over Tor, and only search the transaction ID, never keys.
