This new version of the AlgoExplorer brings to the industry one of the most advanced explorers of the entire blockchain space. With an elegant and modern design, this AlgoExplorer provides a superior user experience to the Algorand community. Among the highlighted features of this Algorand explorer are:
- AlgoExplorer Developer API: The Developer API of the new AlgoExplorer will enable developers to access a rich API that supports all the features of the Algorand Node API as well as additional features only offered through the AlgoExplorer. This Developer API for the Algorand ecosystem allows developers to build and deploy projects without the need to run any infrastructure at all. This AlgoExplorer API is free to use by everyone.

The Rewards Calculator is a tool that allows Algorand users to know how many participating rewards they will receive by staking or holding their Algos in a wallet. It provides a way for users to know how many Algos will their holdings generate every week, month, and year. The calculator uses the most up to date information released by the Algorand Foundation related to the rate of rewards allocated at any given time.
