What does Ghibli mean to you?
Last week’s X Ghibli takeover was a fascinating display of AI's reach, community impact, and trend adoption. It showed how AI has the power to quickly transform the social landscape and empower people to explore and iterate based on new paradigms. It also brought up interesting debates around intellectual property rights and style/vibe licensing in an AI-augmented world.
At Blockscout we are incorporating AI into our product and processes in different ways including:
- LLM-powered human-readable transactions
- A repo-wide codebase documentation initiative
- Improving customer support with pluno.ai
- R&D into text-prompt-based search and contextualized data training
As a storehouse for massive amounts of blockchain data, block explorers are uniquely positioned to facilitate AI training through large data set provisioning. This can be accomplished with Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors to provide relevant information for AI agents. We are exploring these integrations to make Blockscout more useful for users and agents alike.
We’ll continue to keep you updated here on our latest AI advancements and roadmap; in the meantime, our AI-Ghiblified team says hello!
Giveth’s supercharged donation platform
The latest QF round on Giveth ended Tuesday, April 1 and we were floored by the participation from our generous Blockscout community!
The round was sponsored by Octant and ENS who provided an 80K USD Matching Pool for public goods. Blockscout received the highest number of donations of any project participating in the round (#1 of over 100 projects), and thanks to the magic of quadratic funding, we'll also receive a large match from the pool. We'll update you once the final numbers are in.
🙏 Thank you for your support of open-source and transparent tooling for the public good, you're truly incredible!
