Short answer

How do I debug blockchain transactions with my AI?

Your agent uses BlockCypher to pull transaction details, block information, and address balances. It identifies where a transaction is stuck or why a balance doesn't match your records. You get a clear view of the chain state.

Investigation outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI categorizes its findings based on the specific data it pulls.

STATUS

Transaction tracking

The AI pulls specific transaction details to see if a transfer is pending or confirmed. You get the exact state of the movement.

AUDIT

Balance verification

Your agent checks specific addresses to confirm current holdings. This helps you spot discrepancies between your records and the chain.

HISTORY

Block investigation

The AI pulls data from specific blocks to trace the history of a transaction. It maps out how a block was formed and what it contains.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a transaction is missing or a private key is needed, the AI tells you. You handle the actual signing or wallet management.

The workflow

What your AI does when a transaction arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your questions and the raw blockchain data.

  1. Trace the transaction

    The AI pulls the specific details of a transaction hash to see its current status.

    get_transaction

  2. Locate the block

    It finds the specific block containing the transaction using its hash or height.

    get_block_by_hashget_block_by_height

  3. Check the address

    The agent looks up a specific address to see its current state.

    get_address

  4. Verify the funds

    It checks the total balance of an address to ensure funds arrived.

    get_address_balance
