Transaction Explainer

Overview

Transaction Explainer translates completed EVM transaction activity into plain-English summaries. Users paste a transaction hash, pick a supported network, and get transfers, swaps, approvals, gas fees, and wallet impact without connecting a wallet or reading raw explorer data.

Problem

Block explorers show raw logs, calldata, and token movements that are hard for non-technical users to interpret when they only need a clear answer to what a transaction actually did.

Solution

Built a hash-based explainer that reads the transaction and receipt, parses transfers, approvals, native value, and gas, then presents a plain-English summary with wallet impact and details underneath — across seven major EVM networks, with no wallet connection.
