AO Link

AOlink (accessible at ao.link) is a fully decentralized transaction explorer for the AO network. It provides a comprehensive view of on-chain transaction messages and computations, offering an interactive experience similar to block explorers but tailored for the unique structure of the AO network.

  • Decentralized Transaction Explorer: AOlink reflects all on-chain transaction messages and computational processes in real-time, allowing users to explore the AO network’s activities transparently.

  • Message Explorer: It serves as a powerful message explorer, organizing and displaying linked messages to make navigating the network easier, much like traditional blockchain explorers.

  • Graphical Visualization: Message links are visually represented, helping users understand the connections and flow between different transactions and processes on the network.

  • Manual Message Interaction: Users can manually interact with on-chain processes by sending messages, enabling direct engagement with decentralized applications or smart contracts.

  • Real-Time Message Streaming: AOlink streams messages in near real-time, with data retrieval coming from public gateways. The information is nearly immediate, only limited by the small delay typically associated with the gateway.

  • Additional Tools: Users can also view their token balances, inboxes, and even the code behind processes, giving full control and insight into network interactions.


AOlink goes beyond a typical block explorer by enabling real-time exploration and interaction with the AO network. It retrieves data from public gateways, providing near real-time updates with only minimal delays. With features like message computation, graphical visualizations, and manual message interactions, AOlink offers developers and users deep insight and control over network activity, creating a dynamic and transparent way to explore and interact with the decentralized AO ecosystem.
