Learn how to use Solana Beach to search transactions, tokens, programs, slots, and validators. Validator analytics, superminority view, epoch tracking, and multi-network support—beginner-friendly guide for Solana traders and stakers.
About Solana Beach
Solana Beach is a real-time block explorer and analytics hub for the Solana network. It lets you look up on-chain data—transactions, addresses, tokens, programs, slots/blocks, epochs, and validators—in a clean interface that’s easy to navigate even if you’re new to Solana.
Traders use it to verify token mint addresses and transaction histories. Stakers use it to review validator performance and stake distribution. Builders and analysts use it to track programs and network activity across mainnet and test environments.
Solana Beach Features
Here’s a quick tour of what you can do with Solana Beach:

What makes Solana Beach special?
Solana Beach combines the essentials of a classic explorer with a strong validator focus. The validator section doesn’t just list nodes—it visualizes stake concentration and flags the “superminority” threshold so you can assess decentralization and potential liveness risk at a glance.
That validator-centric angle, paired with fast entity search across addresses, tokens, programs, and slots, makes Solana Beach a practical daily companion for both staking research and token verification.

Verify by mint address: Always confirm tokens using the mint address you expect, not just the name or logo.

Tip 3
Follow epoch timing: Align staking moves with epoch boundaries to understand when rewards start accruing.
