Explorer
Version: Beta
Overview
The Xyxyx Explorer is the native platform for exploring and searching deployments on Xyxyx. The platform is purpose-build for text-based tokenization.
The Xyxyx Explorer addresses a critical gap left by general-purpose blockchain explorers like Etherscan and OpenSea, which are not equipped to fully support the unique structure and functionality of Text-Based Tokens.
Purpose-built for the Xyxyx Text-Based Tokenization Architecture (XTBTA), the explorer offers direct access to core text-based tokenization fundamentals, such as downloading the embedded SVG image of each text-based token, inspecting its Base64-encoded tokenURI, and inspecting its data layering.
xyxyx.pro/explorer is available on Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum One, Base Mainnet, and OP Mainnet, as well as on testnets (Ethereum Sepolia, Arbitrum Sepolia, Base Sepolia, and OP Sepolia).
Key Features
Native Support for Text-Based Tokenization
The Xyxyx Explorer is tightly integrated with the XTBTA, natively supporting the unique structure of TBTs. including layered SVG data (see Data Layering).
Inline Base64 Decoder
Users can inspect the raw Base64-encoded JSON metadata of each text-based token and decode it directly within the interface. This allows for seamless, transparent verification of each text-based token'stokenURI output.
SVG Download & Preview
Each text-based token’s on-chain SVG is rendered in-browser and also made available for download by the platform. This feature highlights the permanence and self-containment of TBTs by letting users extract the SVG file bonded to each text-based token as an immutable digital artifact — without needing to query external data file servers.
Metadata Layer Inspection
The Xyxyx Explorer distinguishes between the Token Text (human-readable content) and Metadata Text (system-level content stored at a data file level). The platform allows for clear separation of user-facing semantics and developer-relevant data, in line with XTBTA's layered data architecture.
Xyxyx Explorer and A4
One of the key advancements supported by the Xyxyx Explorer is its native compatibility with the A4 tokenization model — a model specifically designed for encapsulating long-form, document-style text data. The A4 model enables multi-page textual content to be rendered in a paginated SVG layout, preserving the structure and readability of complex documents.
Unlike general-purpose explorers such as Etherscan and OpenSea — which cannot natively handle this pagination SVG feature — the Xyxyx Explorer provides a tailored viewing experience, allowing users to paginate through and interact with A4-rendered tokens directly within the interface.

URL Structure
The Xyxyx Explorer URLs are structured as follows:
Contracts
https://xyxyx.pro/explorer/token?ca={Contract address}&chain={Network}
Directs the user to the main contract view, where all tokens minted under the specified contract are listed and accessible.
Tokens
https://xyxyx.pro/explorer/token?ca={Contract address}&chain={Network}&tokenId={Token Id}
Opens the detailed view of a specific text-based token, rendering its Base64 metadata, SVG output, and associated metadata text on a dedicated page.
Compatibility
The Xyxyx Explorer is available in Desktop and Mobile versions.
