ChainRoot Announced As Sentinel's New Official Explorer
ChainRoot has replaced Mintscan as the project's new official blockchain explorer.
Following a brief search for a new blockchain explorer partner, ChainRoot has now officially stepped into the role. Confirmation was given by a joint announcement by both parties made yesterday on Telegram, and work has now begun on the transition on both ends.
The Swedish company created a Sentinel validator on Tuesday (12/8), which has already entered the active set. Their team is currently working on indexing the Sentinel blockchain's entire history so that past transactions appear properly within the explorer (still a work in progress).
Mintscan, which is hosted by South Korean infrastructure provider Cosmostation and served as the community's go-to explorer since 2021, ended support for Sentinel and four other chains on 31 July. Their Sentinel validator service will continue, as will support for P2P in their wallet—so no action is needed on the part of P2P traders and stakers.
Features
The ChainRoot blockchain explorer, which already supports eighty-six mainnet blockchains shortly after its launch less than a year ago in Q3 2024, delivers all of the features that Sentinel community members grew familiar with on Mintscan, including (but not limited to):
- Overviews of basic information and parameters about the chain.
- Balances and transaction histories for any P2P wallet.
- Details on recent blocks.
- Information and stats about validators.
- Governance proposals and their voting results.
Other Sentinel Explorers
Sentinel is supported by three other explorers in addition to ChainRoot, including Ping Explorer (also known as PingPub), ATOMscan, and Busurnode Explorer—a namesake of the Sentinel community's own infrastructure stalwarts.
Sentinel Docs maintains a live directory of all blockchain explorers which support Sentinel.

What is Sentinel?
Sentinel is a peer-to-peer global bandwidth marketplace which powers both privacy-focused consumer products and development utilities. The most prominent of these usecases at present are decentralised VPN (dVPN) applications and data acquisition for the training of AI models.
