This paper presents a comparison, as well as a descripton of free tools for visualization of public blockchains. The goal of this research is to effectively compare the found tools, to categorize them, to present public blockchain network visualization techniques, to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the given tools, as well as to determine how suitable each tool is for use. This paper includes a short description of blockchain, an overview of the current state of the field, as well as a tabular comparison of the given visualization tools.
