Study Notes | Block Explorers
① The number of confirmations roughly indicates how many blocks have been added to the chain after a transaction was included in a block. The more confirmations, the less likely the transaction is to be reversed.
② Records on the blockchain are public. Anyone who knows an address can look up its balance and transaction history on a block explorer.
③ If someone says they’ve made a transfer, ask them to send you the transaction hash, then verify it yourself on a block explorer.
