PANews reported on August 7 that according to Chainwire, the open source block browser Blockscout announced the completion of a $3 million seed round of financing, led by 1kx, with participation from Primitive Ventures and Gnosis, and angel investors including Evan Van Ness, Alex Svanevik, Kartik Talwar, Anton Bukov and Stefan George. Blockscout plans to use the funds to further build its product suite and improve the user experience, such as integrating social elements and AI-enabled tools directly into the dashboard. It will also be used to simplify the deployment of its Explorer-as-a-Service, support new projects seeking EAAS customization, and deepen participation with existing chains, that is, to provide customizable data to those who need it.
According to reports, Blockscout is an open source block browser that works on all EVM-based chains. Blockscout has been running on more than 600 networks, has a powerful interface for searching blocks, transactions, accounts and tokens, and provides tools for developers, including smart contract verification and access to a set of optimized APIs. The new DAppscout market built into Blockscout provides a safe environment for the discovery, exploration and interaction of decentralized applications.
