# Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer

|
Two Monero blockchain explorer exist in the clearnet. Although useful,
|
|
|
|
|
their limitations are that they use JavaScript, have images
|
|
|
|
|
([might be used for coockless tracking](http://lucb1e.com/rp/cookielesscookies/)), use
|
|
|
|
|
track users activates through google analytics, are not open sourced, and are not
|
|
|
|
|
available as hidden services. These things are of importance
|
|
|
|
|
for privacy-oriented users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, these limitations are addressed. Specifically,
|
|
|
|
|
an Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer is developed. It is build in C++,
|
|
|
|
|
and it not only shows how to use Monero C++ libraries, but also demonstrates how to
|
|
|
|
|
use:
|
