📍 It’s hard to believe we’re already speeding into Q2 2025! In Q1 we accomplished a ton on the Blockscout Roadmap including:
✅ DEX pools page (for example on Optimism)
✅ Stylus contract verification (for Arbitrum based chains)
✅ Chainscout open-source chain directory
✅ Blockscout native Dapp integrations including Swapscout and Revokescout
✅ Account-abstraction (EIP-7702) support
✅ Scam token filtering
✅ Enhanced metadata and tagging features
✅ LLM-enhanced transaction interpreter
✅ Merits integrations, campaign marketplace, and the Merit user dashboard
🏁 This week we're prioritizing upcoming items in Q2 and the year ahead. With Pectra around the corner we’ll be supporting the latest Ethereum HF and ramping up our interop support to provide a seamless multichain experience for everyone. We've also got these features cooking:
⭐️ Multichain search - view data for multiple chains from a single interface
⭐️ MCP server development to enable LLM support + additional AI upgrades
⭐️ Advanced filters with large csv downloads
⭐️ Blockscout widgets - view relevant 3rd party projects, nfts, humanity scores and more relevant address-based information
⭐️ Blockscout SDK - a simplified toolkit to improve the developer experience and speed up troubleshooting and debugging
⭐️ Merits program: NEW features and BIG enhancements
We'll keep you updated as our roadmap continues to evolve in 2025!
Updates
- Remix makes smart contract development and deployment a breeze, and our latest integration with their IDE gives devs the ability to verify contracts instantly using Blockscout.
- Meta's Llama 4 LLM was just released and we've updated our transaction interpreter to work with the latest model, providing faster interpretation, better readability and optimized performance.
- Check -> Connect -> Inspect + Revoke permissions with Revokescout. We've added 13 more chains to the mix (for a total of 29 chains supported) so you can stay safe while exploring the multichainverse.
News
- The XRPL EVM testnet is already gaining traction with more than 6K wallets, 1200 smart contracts, and 40 tokens live in the first week. We joined the Peersyst team in this X spaces event to talk about this new network.
- We participated in an interview with Blockwind on RWAs and institutional adoption. Read the article here.
- Crypto taxes can be torturous (but not to be skipped if you are a US NFT trader). Blockscout tooling makes cypto tax prep a little easier. Hopefully you're done, but if you filed an extension read this article before your taxes are due!
- Swapscout and Revokescout were added to Product Hunt, a popular online platform where people discover and share new tech products. You can rate, comment and vote here.
Public Goods
Blockscout is an open-source project available as a public good to chains and users. Grant programs help us survive and thrive in the ever-evolving web3 world.

Gitcoin
We're honored to be participating in the GG23 Mature Builders round, an invite-only round designed for 30 high-potential projects. Matching will be determined by development metrics (like Github activity and previous donor metrics) and voted on by a select group of experts. The round runs through April 23.
Merits
