Notable Transactions — Blockchain Activity in Plain English

Raw blockchain transactions are unreadable. cryptoucan.xyz translates them into plain English — so you can see what a wallet has actually been doing.

The problem with raw transaction data

A raw Ethereum transaction looks something like this: a hash, a block number, a "to" address, an input data field filled with hex code, a gas value, and a timestamp. None of this is immediately meaningful to a human reader. The "to" address is 42 characters of hex. The input data — which encodes what the transaction actually did — requires decoding the ABI of the target contract.

cryptoucan.xyz does this decoding automatically and translates the result into natural language.

How transaction classification works

When a transaction arrives at a known contract address, we match it to our database of major Ethereum protocols. For example, any transaction sent to Uniswap's router contract becomes "Swapped tokens on Uniswap". Transactions to Lido become "Staked ETH on Lido". Transactions to the ETH 2.0 deposit contract become "Deposited to ETH staking".

For transactions to unknown contracts, we decode the function name from the input data. A function called "deposit" becomes "Deposited funds". A function called "claimReward" becomes "Claimed rewards". Where even this isn't possible, we fall back to "Interacted with contract".

Supported protocols include: Uniswap V2 & V3, OpenSea, Lido, WETH, DAI, USDC, USDT, ETH staking, and many more — with regular additions.

What each transaction card shows

Each transaction in the Notable Transactions section shows a plain-English description of what happened, the time it occurred (e.g. "Today", "3 days ago"), the gas cost in ETH, and a link to view the full transaction on Etherscan. Failed transactions are clearly flagged so you can see at a glance if something went wrong.

The "notable" filter

Not all transactions are shown — only the ones worth reading. We filter out tiny dust transactions, irrelevant internal transfers, and low-value noise. What remains is the activity that actually tells the wallet's story: meaningful ETH transfers, DeFi interactions, NFT trades, and staking activity.

View all on Etherscan

The Notable Transactions section shows the most recent meaningful activity. For the complete unfiltered transaction history, the "View all transactions on Etherscan" link takes you directly to the wallet's full history on Etherscan.
