Achievement 5 Task 2 by @ Prexioz:Review steemcan.com
Introduction
For Achievement 5 Task 2, I explored SteemScan to understand how it can be used to view information about the Steem blockchain.
SteemScan is a Steem transaction explorer that allows users to search accounts and transaction IDs and view blockchain activity. oai_citation:4‡Steemscan
1. Current Steem Price and Volume
On the date of my review, I checked the current STEEM price and trading volume displayed by the site.
- STEEM Price: **
- 24-hour Volume: ****
- Date checked: 15 September 2026
The price and volume can change over time,.
2. Latest Transactions and Latest Blocks
The Latest Transactions section shows recent transactions taking place on the Steem blockchain.
The information can include details such as:
- Transaction ID
- Block number
- Transaction type
- Time/activity information
SteemScan's transaction explorer allows a transaction ID to be opened to view its details. oai_citation:5‡Steemscan
The Latest Blocks section provides information about recently produced Steem blocks.
3. Witnesses
Witnesses are accounts that participate in producing and validating blocks on the Steem blockchain.
The Witnesses section allows users to view information about witnesses.
To vote for a witness, I would open the Witnesses section, select a witness and use the available voting option after reviewing the work.
4. What are DApps?
DApps means Decentralized Applications.
They are applications that operate using blockchain technology.
Three examples of Steem-related applications I may use or explore are:
- SteemWorld
- SteemScan
- SteemDB
These applications provide different functions such as account monitoring, blockchain exploration and account activity tracking.
5. Quick Convent
Quick Convert is a feature used for converting Steem-related assets.
The tool allows the user to enter the amount and review the conversion/withdrawal information displayed by the service.
The fee depends on the amount and the conversion option shown at the time of use.
Fee information I observed:
- Amount:
- Fee:
- Amount:
- Fee:
6. Search Feature
The Search feature can be used to search for information on the Steem blockchain.
For example, I can search using:
- A Steem username
- A transaction ID
- Blockchain transaction information
SteemScan's homepage specifically provides a search field for a username or transaction ID. oai_citation:6‡Steemscan
Conclusion
My exploration of SteemScan helped me understand how blockchain transactions, blocks, witnesses and account information can be explored.
It is useful for checking publicly available information recorded on the page.
