## Summary

The author, writing for KYVE, argues that block explorers show only a partial view of a blockchain and can return different results for the same data. Counting KYVE addresses that had been part of a transfer, their KYVE Data Warehouse query returned 12730, Viewblock showed 10497, and Mintscan showed 11917. The on-chain API, which queries a network node directly, returned 12739, and the article attributes the small gap from the warehouse figure to Cosmos SDK modules that have addresses on the chain but no transactions yet. The article concludes that validated data sources such as KYVE Data Pools are necessary when data supports critical decisions.
