Talero Documentation
Explorer

Read indexed public chain data with explicit provenance.

The Explorer has its own public read API for blocks, transactions, validators and checkpoints. It is not the node REST contract and it does not proxy JSON-RPC.

Indexed public data Pagination Privacy-aware addresses Degraded-state labels

Explorer data can lag the node. Check the response freshness and degraded-state fields before using indexed data operationally.

Public Explorer API

The base URL is https://explorer.talero.info/api. The following deployed read routes are suitable starting points:

GET /blocks?limit=20&page=1 GET /blocks/:height-or-hash GET /blocks/:id/txs GET /txs?limit=20&page=1 GET /txs/:hash GET /address/:address GET /address/:address/txs GET /search?q=... GET /validators GET /checkpoint/latest GET /network/health GET /metrics

Collection responses are paginated. Clients should preserve the server-provided page, pageSize, total and totalPages semantics rather than assuming an unbounded list.

Three different public surfaces

Surface Purpose Base
Explorer REST Indexed, presentation-oriented chain reads explorer.talero.info/api
Public JSON-RPC Method-gated node reads rpc.talero.info/rpc
Node REST contract Software contract for controlled node deployments Not published on the public RPC domain

Do not prepend /api/v1 node routes to the Explorer host and do not send JSON-RPC to the Explorer.

Address privacy

Address lookup and activity responses can be masked or marked non-facilitated by policy. Consumers must honor fields such as masked and privacyProtected and must not interpret an intentionally reduced response as a zero balance or an empty history.

Display rules

  • Show indexed height and freshness separately from node reachability.
  • Surface degraded or stale states instead of silently presenting cached data as current.
  • Treat bootstrap_lag finality as a policy-lag signal, not payout-grade or irreversible BFT settlement.
  • Label PoQ as advisory, non-consensus and non-blocking.
  • Describe classic transactions as ECDSA and native type 0x06 signatures as ML-DSA-65; do not infer a PQ account guarantee from a precompile result.
