Crypto Explain Tx
by ISHOB in Onchain & crypto
Explain any mined transaction in plain English: what happened (swap, transfer, approval, NFT buy/sell/mint, wrap, contract deploy, failed + revert reason), the sender's net token changes with USD values, every token and native-coin movement, approvals granted, the function called (named from the verified ABI or a signature database, with decoded arguments) and the fee. Rule-based, no AI. Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain.
