Company Info

Blockscout is a free blockchain explorer software that was created specifically for the Web3 ecosystem. It is widely used within the DeFi, Layer 2, EVM, smart contracts, and blockchain analytics spaces. Using Blockscout, people can easily review, explore, check, and engage with the data within blockchains. Blockscout supports more than 1,000 EVM-compatible blockchains, including Layer 1, Layer 2, Layer 3, Optimistic Rollups, and ZK Rollups.

 

Key Features of Blockscout:

 

  • Allows users to verify smart contracts via Hardhat and Sourcify, with access to view verified code and interact with contract functions directly.
  • Offers real-time tracking of transactions, blocks, addresses, gas fees, and internal transaction flows.
  • Assists in monitoring wallet balances and transactions through address tagging and watchlists, etc.
  • Analyzes ERC-20 tokens, NFT collections, metadata, and transfer history in detail.
  • Enables searching of transactions and addresses across multiple supported networks for easier multichain tracking.

Year Achievements
2018 Launched by POA Network (later became Gnosis) with a grant from the Ethereum Foundation. The goal was simple: solve the centralization risk caused by the lack of a fully open-source explorer for the Ethereum ecosystem.
2019 Early stable releases went live, and it quickly became the main native explorer for networks like Gnosis Chain (formerly xDai) and Ethereum Classic. It handled real, live network traffic at scale without issues.
2020 Added multi-file smart contract verification and stronger support for new token standards like ERC-721 and ERC-1155. 
2021 Updated to support Ethereum’s London upgrade with EIP-1559 gas fee tracking.  
Around the same time, work began on supporting Optimistic and ZK-rollups as Ethereum scaling started shifting to Layer 2.
2022 It became an independent project with new funding, including a $3M seed round led by 1kx
The frontend also started moving away from the old Elixir template system toward a cleaner, modular React UI (v1).
2023 Introduced high-performance Rust-based microservices for indexing and data handling. 
Launched the DApp Marketplace (DAppscout), turning the explorer into something more interactive than just a data viewer.
2024 Rolled out visualization tools like Sol2UML to make complex transaction flows easier to read. Expanded infrastructure support for modular chains like Arbitrum Orbit, OP Stack, and zkSync.
2025 Crossed 3,000+ supported networks across mainnets, testnets, and app chains. 
Launched Autoscout, a 1-click tool that lets developers spin up a full block explorer for custom rollups in under five minutes.
