# Utilities Feature

The [utilities feature](https://app.shadeprotocol.io/utilities) is where you can decrypt a transaction and manage a permit.

If you wanted to play around with decrypting one of your transactions on the ShadeSwap, you could do that there. Mintscan is a popular blockchain explorer for the Cosmos ecosystem. But, given Shade’s emphasis on data confidentiality, you can’t see much associated with a transaction there.

To play around with this utilities feature just copy the transaction hash from Mintscan, paste it in the search box, and the whole decrypted transaction will appear.
