# AlgoKit explore

AlgoKit provides a quick shortcut to [explore](../cli/index.md#explore) various Algorand networks using [lora](https://lora.algokit.io/) including [AlgoKit LocalNet](./localnet.md)!

## LocalNet

The following three commands are all equivalent and will open lora pointing to the local [AlgoKit LocalNet](./localnet.md) instance:

- `algokit explore`
- `algokit explore localnet`
- `algokit localnet explore`

## Testnet

`algokit explore testnet` will open lora pointing to TestNet via the <https://testnet-api.algonode.cloud> [node](https://algonode.io/api/).

## Mainnet

`algokit explore mainnet` will open lora pointing to MainNet via the <https://mainnet-api.algonode.cloud> [node](https://algonode.io/api/).

To learn more about the `algokit explore` command, please refer to [explore](../cli/index.md#explore) in the AlgoKit CLI reference documentation.
