## Devex

Devex is a developer explorer that is maintained by Zilliqa Research. Devex is
integrated directly into developer tools like Ceres and Scilla IDE. Devex allows
you to look at blocks, address, transactions, status of the Zilliqa network as
well as contract code, variables and any transition events.

Devex is available at this [link](https://devex.zilliqa.com/), by default, devex
points to the Zilliqa mainnet but you can change the network by using the
dropdown button at the top right corner.
