Integrations

💙​ Arbitrum One Block Explorer

Blockscout now supports Arbitrum One, bringing the power of our comprehensive open-source block explorer and DAppscout marketplace to the thriving Arbitrum ecosystem. This launch allows users and developers to seamlessly explore, monitor, and interact with the Layer 2 chain and its diverse range of projects and applications.

In the announcement, Nina Rong, Head of Ecosystem Development Arbitrum Foundation commented: As a comprehensive open-source block explorer, Blockscout is key to our Arbitrum Orbit users and developers.

Alongside our block explorer, the DAppscout marketplace is also integrated into Arbitrum One. DAppscout is your go-to platform for discovering, exploring, and interacting with decentralized applications across the Arbitrum ecosystem. With security score ratings for smart contracts and safe links, DAppscout ensures a secure onchain experience for everyday users.

DAppscout now on Redstone & Zora

DAppscout marketplace is a safe & engaging space for new app discovery on supported chains. Our latest integrations with Redstone and Zora give visitors an overview of available DApps along with more info, links, and direct interaction when available.

Games are launching on Redstone, and DAppscout provides a gateway to this on-chain gaming ecosystem.

Zora's maturing ecosystem features a growing list of DApps for DeFi, Degens, Devs and more.

Latest backend release v6.7.2

Our latest release squashed a few 🐛 , fixed some slower queries and updated to the latest elixer and Erlang versions. Check out the full list of changes here: https://github.com/blockscout/blockscout/releases/tag/v6.7.2-beta

Look for a frontend release coming soon which will introduce some cool new features for DAppscout, quick search improvements and additional stats.

Smol Dapp Integration

Send tokens to multiple addresses in a single tx with the new Smol Dapp Disperse integration. Connect directly via the Blockscout DeFi dropdown for safe, simple multi-address sending.

Blockhead adds Blockscout for queries

The Blockhead dashboard lets you query blockchain info, track your portfolio and NFTs, visualize on-chain activity and more. Their latest integration with Blockscout provides additional data points and useful info for users.

ZNS Subgraph for Name Services on Polygon & Blast

We worked with the ZNS team implementing a subgraph for the ZNS protocol, which is based on ENS contracts. The ZNS protocol includes a constant variable called "identifier" that uniquely describes the protocol across multiple chains. Blockscout now supports Name Services for various chains, including ZNS for Polygon and Blast.

Fileverse dDocs app live on Gnosis DAppscout

Did you ever wish Google Docs was a decentralized, private application? Well, wishes can come true🧞‍♂️ The new Fileverse dDocs app is optimized for mobile, allows for seamless collaboration, and is a private, on-chain solution! Fileverse dDocs can now be accessed directly in DAppscout on Gnosis.

Campaigns & Media

Peanut Protocol Campaign

We finished up the Peanut Protocol campaign with 150 folks giving Peanut a try using the Blockscout interface! We're working on some additional future campaigns with integrated DApps, so stay tuned 📻

Octant Public Goods Roundup

This was our first time participating in an Octant Round, where 30 public goods projects were selected from a pool of applicants. We had some nice support from the community for first-timers, and are eager to participate again in this unique campaign which helps fund projects through donations from staking rewards and a very generous match from the Golem Foundation.

Backdrop Hackathon wrapping up

The Backdrop online hackathon will wrap up the first week of August, and we're excited to see which projects implement Blockscout into their solutions! So far we've received interest and activity from a lot of builders working on novel web3 apps.

New Announced Instances

🏕️ Camp Network

Camp Network is launching as the user identity layer for blockchain. Camp collects user data across online platforms and allows users to own and monetize their identities. The Camp L2 testnet was launched this month with Gelato as a part of the OP Superchain network, with Blockscout as the explorer of choice.

🍡 Celo Dango Testnet

Celo has successfully forked and upgraded the Alfajores testnet to the new Celo L2 testnet Dango! Dango represents a successful state migration from an L1 to the OP L2 environment. Developers and infra providers can now work with the Dango codebase to ensure everything is working properly prior to the Celo mainnet transition.
