How do I check a QTC address balance?
A QTC account is an on-chain record that holds free and reserved Quantus token balances. Enter a Quantus SS58 address or a 32-byte hex AccountId in the explorer search to open its account page. Quantus uses SS58 prefix 189 and QTC has 12 decimal places. Account amounts display 4 decimals, rounded down; raw JSON keeps full precision. Free balance can be locked or frozen and is not necessarily spendable.
What does Quantus Explorer show?
Quantus Explorer is a QTC block explorer that publishes searchable mainnet blocks, accounts, transfers, mining rewards and vesting schedules. The Accounts page ranks the top 100 accounts by free plus reserved balance; search reaches other indexed accounts. History lists Balances.Transfer, Wormhole.NativeTransferred and mining rewards; standalone balance adjustments are excluded. Paired events count once.
Where does the explorer get its data?
A collector is a service that reads a Quantus mainnet node and publishes static JSON snapshots for the explorer. The browser reads snapshots rather than calling the node directly. Account snapshots use one latest block, not yet final; vesting snapshots use one finalized block. Node peer counts describe the connected node, not the entire network. Snapshot times and block links let readers check the data's context.
What is a Quantus block and a miner reward?
A Quantus block is a chain record that contains a header and extrinsics, including transactions and network operations. A miner reward is a payout recorded by a MinerRewarded event that identifies the reward address and amount, including fees and rounding. The explorer shows the header's author preimage separately; the preimage is not treated as an account address. Recorded rewards are historical credits, not a miner's current balance.
How often does Quantus Explorer refresh?
A snapshot is a published view of indexed chain data that the explorer refreshes on a schedule. As of 10 September 2026, block snapshots and telemetry names refresh about every 3 seconds, chart aggregates about every 15 seconds, and accounts and vesting about every 60 seconds. Collection can take longer during node outages. The explorer shows snapshot timing and warns about delays.
What do the miner-name labels mean?
A miner-name label is a telemetry-derived name that the explorer associates with a reward address. Miner names are a heuristic from public telemetry (the first node to report a block) and may be wrong; the reward address is the source of truth. Missing names or telemetry older than 15 minutes fall back to addresses. Names do not prove ownership of an account.
Why can balances exceed issued supply?
A private wormhole spend does not debit the sending address’s ordinary balance. Displayed balances are therefore upper bounds and the rich list does not prove current ownership. The difference is measured, not estimated: sum every account’s free plus reserved balance and subtract Balances.TotalIssuance at the same latest block. Public nullifiers cannot be linked to the inputs they spend, so this difference cannot be assigned to individual addresses without defeating that privacy.
Issuance shares use TotalIssuance, so displayed shares across accounts can add up to more than 100%.
