Description

In the block explorer, the transaction timestamps are not my timezone.

1. should the time be represented as the same timezone as the person who's viewing the transaction in the block explorer?
2. or is the block explorer simply using 1 timezone for everyone on the planet and if so, shouldn't it be represented as something like `05 Apr 2024 - 10:29:13 AM UTC` with `UTC` or the correct timezone specified at the end? if it should be displayed in my time zone then the time should have been `05 Apr 2024 - 12:29:13 PM`
3. should we use the 24 hours clock? the advantage here is fewer digits but i don't know which is the most popular worldwide, 12 or 24 hour clocks.

what should the solution be? is it ok as it is, or should the expected behaviour be one (of a combination) of the above?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the block explorer transaction timestamp display, then determine and document the expected timezone and 12- or 24-hour format from the open questions. Done means the chosen behavior is implemented consistently and verified in the transaction view.
