Base Explorers
Base explorers for transactions, contracts, and debugging.
Explorer choice affects support links, contract verification, debugging, and API access. Check URL patterns and public docs before hardcoding explorer links into product support pages.
For Base teams, explorer selection is part of customer support. The link in a receipt, help article, wallet prompt, or transaction detail page should send users to a page they can understand and a URL pattern your team can reproduce during debugging.

Verification
What to check before choosing explorer links
Test transaction, address, token, and contract URLs for the exact Base flows your product exposes. Keep a fallback explorer in support notes so users and operators can compare views when a primary explorer is delayed, rate-limited, or missing a contract-verification detail.
