I’ve heard a lot about blockchain explorers and their importance in development. How exactly do they fit into the development process, and what are the best ones to use? Are there specific features of blockchain explorers that you find indispensable for your development work?
Every field has its common mistakes and pitfalls. For those of you who have been in the blockchain development services space for a while, what are some common mistakes that beginners should avoid? Any tips on best practices or things you wish you knew when you started?
