Overview
Cardanoscan Assets is a price and ownership tracker for digital tokens. It ranks tradable tokens in one table by what they cost and how much trading they see, and opening any row shows who holds that token and where it changes hands. Traders use it to see what is moving. Anyone handed a token's ticker, the short code that stands in for its name, can use the same page to check whether it is the genuine article or a copy trading on a borrowed name.
The Cardanoscan Assets page belongs to Cardanoscan, a block explorer for Cardano built by Strica. A block explorer is a public search tool for a blockchain: it lets anyone look up a transaction, a wallet address, or in this case a token, without running software of their own. Strica also builds the Typhon Wallet and offers free and paid access to token lookups through a documented connection layer, an API, that other applications plug into.
Key Features
- One row per traded token. Each row carries the price in dollars and in ADA, the change over a day and over a week, trading volume, market value, how much is parked in its trading pools, and a small seven-day trend line1.
- Check that a token is the real one. A token's page shows its policy ID and its fingerprint, the permanent codes the ledger uses to tell one token from another, so you can compare them against the codes the project publishes2.
- See how concentrated ownership is. A holders view groups addresses into size bands, reports what share the largest hundred hold, and lets you page through a ranked list of addresses or download it2.
- Narrow the list to a single exchange. A venue filter shows only tokens trading on a chosen marketplace, including Minswap, SundaeSwap and WingRiders, alongside tabs for gainers, losers and newly listed tokens1.
- Look up tokens from your own software. Cardanoscan's published documentation covers token lookups by asset, by minting policy and by wallet address, and those sit in the free tier3.
What to Expect
On Cardanoscan Assets you land on a sortable table, one row per token, with a summary strip above it covering the combined value of the tokens listed, the past day's trading volume, and the ADA price. A search box finds a token by name, ticker, or policy ID, and you can show 20, 50 or 100 rows at a time1.
Opening a row switches to that token's own page. The top of it is reference material: the codes that identify the token on the ledger, its total supply, how many decimal places it divides into, and the date it was first minted2. Tabs below split the rest into trades, trading-pool depth, holders, minting history, and a lifetime count of the transactions the token has appeared in2. The project's own description and website link appear on the token page2.
A companion page tracks stablecoins, tokens designed to hold a fixed value such as one dollar, and flags any that have drifted away from it4. Developers who would rather have the numbers than the web page can request an access key: the free tier carries a daily request limit, and paid tiers raise it5. Price and market-value figures across Cardanoscan are credited to CoinGecko1.
