### [https://github.com/ZcashCommunityGrants/zcashcommunitygrants/issues/113](https://github.com/ZcashCommunityGrants/zcashcommunitygrants/issues/113) GM Zcash community, lets me introduce about Zcatch > **[ZCatch](https://zcatch.xyz)** > > Explore ZCash ecosystem with confidence - real-time transactions, live network data, and everything you need in one place. **Project Description** Zcatch is an advanced blockchain explorer built for the Zcash ecosystem, focusing on delivering deep transparency and intuitive insights into both transparent and shielded transactions. Unlike traditional explorers, Zcatch is designed to balance usability with Zcash’s core privacy principles — allowing users, developers, and researchers to visualize network activity without compromising sensitive data. The long-term goal of Zcatch is to evolve beyond an explorer into a service platform for ZSA (Zcash Shielded Assets). This will enable users to create, manage, and analyze shielded assets directly within the Zcatch ecosystem. By integrating advanced indexing, privacy-preserving analytics, and developer APIs, Zcatch aims to become a key infrastructure layer supporting the next wave of private DeFi and asset tokenization on Zcash. Ultimately, Zcatch’s mission is to make the Zcash ecosystem more accessible, transparent, and developer-friendly — bridging the gap between privacy and usability while empowering builders to innovate with confidence. ### **Proposed Problem** Existing blockchain explorers for Zcash offer limited usability and are often built as part of multi-chain platforms, meaning they lack a deep focus on Zcash’s unique privacy and technical architecture. As a result, users — especially developers and researchers — face difficulty accessing clear, contextual, and privacy-respecting insights about on-chain data. Zcatch aims to solve this by creating a Zcash-dedicated explorer with a modern UX, detailed analytics, and native support for shielded transactions, ensuring that both transparency and privacy coexist seamlessly. ![Screen Shot 2025-10-25 at 21.09.04](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/d/f/dfc666dabffab9d00ff880998869e1a141612e09.png) ---

Very cool! Would love if you could include the total fees per block in the main view with the orange blocks. Thanks for running a full node! Which versions of zebrad and zainod are you running? ---

We’ve added **rawTransaction** data — it’s just a small update, but I hope it’ll be helpful for developers. ![Screen Shot 2025-11-03 at 01.07.27](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/zcash/original/3X/5/b/5b228da200ec2dd184123c531b43784e5e4b70c5.jpeg) ---

Hello! I would like to clarify one thing. Have you communicated with anyone from Qedit about this? I’m just trying to understand what it will look like. Shielded Zcash and ZSA are supposed to be untraceable. I understand about key metrics, but without comments from the Qedit team, it is difficult to understand how premature or timely this step is. ---

I understand the concerns about inaccessibility. That said, when a ZSA is unshielded, a block explorer can still reveal information such as total assets, total ZSAs, and transaction history. Furthermore, our goal extends beyond offering a block explorer; we also plan to provide additional services, including support for creating ZSAs. it would be great if you could help me connect with Qedit team ---
