BscScan

What is BscScan?

BscScan (bscscan.com) is the block explorer for BNB Smart Chain. It's the equivalent of a public ledger — every transaction, wallet balance, and smart contract on BSC is visible here. It's an essential tool for verifying DeFi protocol security.

What you can do on BscScan

• Verify contract code — check if a contract's source code is publicly published
• Check contract ownership — verify if ownership has been renounced
• Track transactions — see every deposit, withdrawal, and swap in real time
• View token holders — see who holds LP tokens and whether they're locked
• Read contract functions — interact directly with smart contracts

How to verify a DeFi protocol on BscScan

1. Get the contract address from the protocol's website
2. Search it on bscscan.com
3. Click "Contract" → "Read Contract"
4. Check owner() — should return 0x0000...0000 if renounced
5. Check "Code" tab — should show verified source code

BscScan vs Etherscan

BscScan is built by the same team as Etherscan and has an identical interface. If you know how to use Etherscan, you already know BscScan.

Token tracker

BscScan's token tracker shows all BEP-20 tokens, their holders, and transfer history. This is useful for verifying that LP tokens are locked in a time-lock contract.
