What can a blockchain explorer do? In short, it provides a one-stop search for information such as on-chain transactions, blocks, hashes, addresses, and off-chain market and information.

Cai Wensheng, chairman of Meitu, once said that search engines have undoubtedly brought a huge boost to the growth of the Internet.

The search engine effectively integrates the information scattered on the Internet, which is more friendly to the publishers and viewers of the information. Its birth has greatly lowered the barriers to entry into the online world.

Today, the blockchain is getting out of the geek circle and being contacted and understood by more netizens. If there is a search engine that focuses on the blockchain field, it will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of Bimin in obtaining information.

What can a blockchain explorer do?

To answer this question, Odaily conducted three tests.

Then Odaily continued to search for the nearest celebrity public chain Cosmos in the two browsers, and the results were as follows:

It is not difficult to see that Midu Search captures more sources of information and forms of information in more dimensions (including news, communities and popular science), which can better meet the needs of users to understand the project. Gikee doesn't even include information about off-chain related projects (such as power search).

Finally, Odaily entered a bitcoin address in two browsers, but neither browser could recognize and retrieve it. From this point of view, its capture of information on the chain has not been well realized.

Have you used blockchain technology?

If a blockchain browser can only be used to browse information related to the blockchain, it will inevitably appear narrow and lacking in creativity.

In people's imagination, the blockchain browser is a product that can use blockchain technology to change the shortcomings of traditional browsers. In foreign countries, this product has also been developed. Blockchain explorer built on EthereumBraveis one of the representatives.

Brave was created by the inventor of JavaScript and the co-founder of Mozilla to protect user privacy and filter redundant information.

The world's search giants, Google and Baidu, account for more than 80% of their revenue from advertising, and the basis of these advertisements is based on the collection of personal browsing records. In these Internet giants, there is no privacy for individuals.

Brave, based on encryption and open source technology, can provide a pure browser without collecting personal information.

Although the vision is good, the above two filing projects did not indicate that they will use blockchain technology to protect user privacy.

Even so, Midu Search uses blockchain thinking in a design.

Cai Wensheng is optimistic about the project

The founding team of Midu Search is quite luxurious. Its sponsor is Zhu Bo, the founder of Dream Chaser Fund and Innovation Valley, and its co-founder is Ni Zhengdong, chairman and CEO of Zero2IPO Group. Zhu Bo is a veteran of the search industry. He was the founder of Cgogo, China's first mobile search engine, and the president of Huawei's Internet business.

The investor team of Midu Search also has big names in the field of Internet venture capital, including Cai Wensheng (Chairman of Meitu), Zheng Gang (Chairman of Zihui Venture Capital), Shao Jun (founding partner of Detong Capital), Kuang Ziping (Founding Partner of Qiming Venture Capital), Xiao Bing (President of Dachen Venture Capital), Feng Huawei (Chairman of Xiaocun Capital), Wang Zhixin (Founding Partner of Colony New Yangtze Fund), etc.

In comparison, Gikee's background is relatively simple. According to the data from Tianyancha, Gikee (company name 01 Building Blocks) was wholly-owned by Fu Yingyu, and Fu Yingyu has only one company, 01 Building Blocks.
