Day 10 #crypto class. Spent time on “blockchain explorers” like @etherscan as a way to view blockchain #data. Block number, timestamp, and transactions helps students see the concepts 👀 And a record of contract usage at an address will lead us into using a #smart #contract! pic.twitter.com/H0PIknhQK5 — Lamont Black (@lamontkblack) October 9, 2023
