Open-source block explorer for EVM blockchains. Search blocks, transactions, accounts, tokens. Includes developer tools, Multichain Explorer.
Founded in 2018 by Igor Barinov, Blockscout is a technology company based in the United Arab Emirates that develops an open-source block explorer for Ethereum Virtual Machine networks. The platform provides developers with smart contract verification tools and optimized APIs, operating across over 3,000 distinct blockchains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and Sony’s Soneium. Operating with 21 to 50 employees, the organization's infrastructure serves approximately 40,000 users, generating an estimated $2.7 million in annual revenue with an $8.8 million estimated valuation. Following a recent seed funding round led by venture capital firm 1kx, the enterprise appointed former Alipay UK executive Eva Zhang as its new Chief Executive Officer. Under this new leadership, Blockscout recently launched a unified Multichain Explorer and the Dappscout marketplace to facilitate seamless search capabilities across the broader ecosystem of decentralized applications and networks.

Blockscout is an open-source block explorer for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-based blockchains, enabling users to search, analyze, and verify blockchain data across over 1,000 networks including Layer 1s, optimistic rollups, and zk rollups.[1][2][3] It provides tools for tracking transactions, monitoring wallets, verifying smart contracts, analyzing ERC20 tokens and NFTs, and accessing developer APIs, serving developers, dApp builders, wallet providers, and blockchain networks seeking transparency and analytics.[1][2] Blockscout solves the problem of fragmented blockchain visibility by offering a unified, multichain interface that enhances network transparency, supports smart contract development, and powers integrations for custom deployments and ecosystem tools, with strong growth evidenced by 1.3K GitHub forks, support for 100+ chains, and a $3M seed round in 2024.[3][4]
Blockscout was founded in 2018 (with some sources noting 2019 activity) as the first fully-featured open-source blockchain explorer, initially focused on Ethereum and expanding to EVM-compatible chains like those in Cosmos, Polkadot, Polygon, Solana, and Near ecosystems.[3][4][5] The core team, backed by investors including 1kx, Primitive Ventures, Gnosis VC, and others, raised $3M in a seed round on August 7, 2024, reflecting growing traction in the competitive blockchain space.[4] Early momentum came from its community-driven development and partnerships, such as with Evil Martians in recent years to build features like a dApps Marketplace, Token Approval Tracker, and Charts & Stats, transforming it from a basic explorer into a multi-chain portal with vibrant user and builder communities.[3]
Blockscout rides the wave of EVM dominance and Layer 2 proliferation, where multichain ecosystems demand reliable transparency tools amid rising adoption of rollups and sidechains.[1][2][3] Its timing aligns with blockchain's maturation—post-2024 funding boom—capitalizing on market forces like DeFi growth, NFT analytics needs, and regulatory pushes for verifiable on-chain data.[4] By powering network explorers (e.g., Avalanche), dApps, wallets, and custom instances, Blockscout influences the ecosystem as a neutral, open-source standard, fostering trust, developer productivity, and competition among chains while enabling smaller networks to compete with Ethereum's infrastructure.[1][3]
Blockscout is poised for expansion with planned UI overhauls, new chain integrations, and feature releases like advanced monitoring tools, building on its seed funding and community momentum.[3][4] Trends like zk-rollup scaling, cross-chain interoperability, and AI-driven blockchain analytics will amplify its role, potentially growing to thousands more networks as EVM adoption surges. Its influence may evolve from explorer to full ecosystem hub, solidifying open-source leadership—much like its origins as the pioneering multichain toolbox for verifiable blockchain transparency.[1][2][3]
