🔍Block Explorer

What's on the front page

• Chain stats — current block height, difficulty, hash rate (historical PoW), stake weight (current PoS)
• Money supply — circulating mainchain supply (excludes bridge-held SPL)
• Latest blocks — 10 most recent, with miner/staker address and reward
• Latest transactions — 10 most recent, with input/output counts and total MOTA moved
• Search bar — accepts block height, block hash, transaction ID, or address

Address lookup

Paste any mainchain address (prefix M) into the search bar. You'll get:

• Current balance (confirmed + unconfirmed)
• Total received / total sent (lifetime)
• Full transaction history, paginated, with in/out flags and confirmation count
• QR code of the address (scannable)
• Address label if it's been claimed via signmessage (see below)

Claiming an address label

Iquidus supports verified address claims — you sign a message with the address's private key, post it to the explorer, and a label appears next to the address for everyone. The bridge escrow, for example, is labeled "MotaCoin Bridge Escrow" via this flow.

$ motacoin-cli signmessage "MFqkH1fjMvYLLvNhce1BzRCgEQnjc8Lfxx" "I own this address."
"H5Bj2kP8dQ/..."
# Then POST to /address/<addr>/claim with the signature + chosen label

Transaction lookup

Paste a txid and you'll get:

• Block height + confirmations + timestamp
• Input list (previous-out references + addresses + amounts)
• Output list (addresses + amounts, or OP_RETURN data for bridge routing)
• Raw transaction hex (expandable)
• Fee (difference between inputs and outputs)
• Special tags: COINSTAKE for stake rewards, COINBASE for legacy PoW blocks

Richlist

Public top-100 of mainchain MOTA holders at explorer.motacoin.net/richlist. Useful for confirming the bridge escrow address ranks near the top (that's the mainchain-side MOTA the bridge is holding).

REST API reference

Iquidus exposes a public read-only REST API. Base URL: https://explorer.motacoin.net. All endpoints return JSON unless noted.

Mainchain supply vs. SPL supply

Because MOTA uses an inverted-escrow model, /ext/getmoneysupply returns the mainchain-circulating supply only — not the full 125M. To see the complete picture:

The invariant holds: mainchain_circulating + bridge_escrow_spl = 125,000,000. If it ever didn't, the bridge would be insolvent.

Verify the bridge escrow on-chain

# Mainchain escrow balance
$ curl -s https://explorer.motacoin.net/ext/getbalance/MFqkH1fjMvYLLvNhce1BzRCgEQnjc8Lfxx

# Solana-side SPL escrow ATA balance (via Solana RPC)
$ curl -sS -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getTokenAccountBalance","params":["77uVYUxp8pFFSP81VjPWUbzoANPzxNnT54jYj6h37yE9"]}' \
  https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com | jq '.result.value.uiAmount'

Sum the two. If it's 125,000,000 — bridge is solvent.
