Blockscout 🔭

⚡ Big News! ⚡ We’ve secured $3M in a seed round led by 1kx, with participation from Primitive Ventures, Gnosis , and 40+ angels including Evan Van Ness, Alex Svanevik, Kartik Talwar, Anton Bukov, and Stefan George. We’re scaling open-source block exploration like never before 😎 Blockscout already provides advanced block explorers for 600+ networks, including Ethereum, Optimism Foundation, #base, The Arbitrum Foundation, Filecoin Foundation, Immutable, IOTA , #etherlink, Rootstock, and more. We’re growing as the top choice for Rollup-As-A-Service providers like Gelato, Caldera, #Conduit, AltLayer, Alchemy, and many others. The funding supports our commitment to improving transparency and accessibility in blockchain data, as we invest in the product suite, user experience, and integration of social and AI-enabled tools. We're changing the game for block explorers. Shifting from a backend developer tool to a user-centric product, we serve a wide range of users. Our dapp marketplace 'Dappscout' is already leading the way for more people to explore DeFi safely. 💬 Igor Barinov, Founder & CEO at Blockscout: “We will be the default setting for all new and existing EVM chains. Our open-source model offers unmatched transparency and accessibility that serves everyone in the crypto space, from developers to everyday users.” 💬 Nichanan Kesonpat, Research Analyst at 1kx: “Blockscout’s open source EVM explorer and tools enable nascent projects to host their own explorer, providing an alternative to expensive EaaS offerings and offsetting the costs of building an explorer from scratch. This is critical tooling in a modular, multichain world where new networks and appchains can give their users insights into network activity right away.” ➡️ Get the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gPhN9ciW

That’s a wrap for our own Istanbullish event this week! 🇹🇷 We're a fully remote team spread across multiple continents 🌎🌍🌏 And while remote work is great - the best people for the job are absolutely not all in the same city - the boost you get from short bursts of IRL sessions are irreplaceable. We spent the week drawing it up on whiteboards, sharing and testing ideas, building cool stuff for our own hackathon, and touring Istanbul in between. A remote setup reaches talent. IRL adds that little ✦⋆｡𖦹°⭒.
