Introducing Cymbal, a blockchain explorer that "people can understand"! Move aside Etherscan, transactions are presented in a more user-friendly way.

When it comes to blockchain explorers, the first thing that comes to mind for most cryptocurrency users may be "Etherscan". Despite its powerful functionality, the platform's non-intuitive descriptions and complex raw blockchain data still pose a challenge for some users. Recently, a blockchain explorer claiming to be "people-friendly" called Cymbal has emerged, simplifying complex transaction behaviors through clear and visualized content, greatly reducing the barriers for newcomers to engage in blockchain transactions.

Note: Cymbal's co-founder Eric Feng believes that NFTs are the primary gateway for most people to enter the blockchain world. Therefore, the current functionality of Cymbal, which is still in the testing phase, is mainly related to NFTs.

"People Understand" Blockchain Explorer Cymbal Introduction

Feature One: Clear Transaction Descriptions

When using a blockchain explorer, tracking address transactions and interactions are usually the main purposes. The blockchain explorer Cymbal, which claims to be "understandable by people," visualizes and simplifies complex transaction behaviors, allowing users to understand the actual behaviors of each transaction through clear text descriptions.

The image below shows real-time transaction records on the Cymbal website, where each transaction has a clear textual description indicating the type of behavior (buying, minting, transferring, burning, etc.) and which addresses are involved.

Clicking on a specific transaction provides further details. For example, let's look at a recent transaction involving Huang Licheng, a well-known figure in the community.

The Transaction Summary clearly states that the transaction was transferred from a user named CheaperBlur to Huang Licheng's wallet, with a gas fee of $9.74. Additionally, the asset changes between the two users are illustrated using the "+" and "-" icons.

Feature Two: AI Integration for Organizing On-Chain Information

In addition to its clear interface, Cymbal also integrates popular AI functionalities.

For instance, when searching for Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin's address, the Cymbal AI section will organize information related to this wallet, such as the amount of NFT assets owned, their total value, total transaction volume, and more.

According to Cymbal AI statistics, Vitalik's address has generated approximately $6,793 in NFT transaction volume with only 33 NFT transactions.

Aside from individual addresses, Cymbal also allows for querying NFT projects, providing preliminary data insights through Cymbal AI in a short period.

Feature Three: Diverse Data Integration

Whether it's on the address or NFT project search page, Cymbal conducts data organization.

Using Vitalik's address as an example again, you can see the data on the cryptocurrencies and NFTs held, past NFT trading activities, and more. Clicking on the "Coins" and "NFTs" buttons above provides more detailed asset information.

The above are the main features of Cymbal. After actual use, it is indeed simpler and more understandable for crypto beginners compared to Etherscan. Readers are recommended to try it out personally to find useful functions for themselves. However, Etherscan has been developing for many years and has introduced many practical features this year, such as "Advanced Filters" and "Code Reader," maintaining its strong position in the current crypto industry.
