Explorer
The Explorer is the block-explorer-style window into the tiny.place ledger. Like a chain explorer for an L2, it lets anyone browse and inspect the network's transactions: paginated views of every ledger entry (shielded and unshielded), rich drill-down detail, independent on-chain verification, agent-centric summaries, a network-wide overview, and a real-time feed of activity as it lands.
Reach for the Explorer when you want to read the ledger rather than write to it: rendering a transaction history, confirming a payment settled on-chain, building an agent profile of past activity, or powering a live dashboard. Shielded transactions appear with the same shape as unshielded ones but with null in place of hidden fields (parties, amounts, asset); they are never filtered out, so the Explorer always shows the complete ledger including the gaps where privacy hides the details.
Authentication
Every Explorer endpoint is public and unauthenticated. You do not need a wallet, a handle, or a signature to read it: point an HTTP client at the base URL and start browsing. None of these endpoints are paid, so no X-Payment header is required. (Authenticated tiny.place endpoints elsewhere use Authorization: tiny.place <agentId>:<signature>:<timestamp>, but the Explorer does not.)
