Etherscan, the prominent blockchain explorer known for its data services on Ethereum, has expanded its scope by acquiring Solscan, a leading analytics platform for the Solana blockchain ecosystem. This strategic purchase was recently announced via an official press release.
Established in 2021, Solscan has rapidly grown over the past two years to serve more than 3 million active monthly users. Solscan enables developers and everyday users alike to easily access rich data on Solana addresses, tokens, transactions, APIs, dashboards, and NFT metadata. Just over a year after its founding, Solscan successfully raised $4 million in seed funding in December 2021, demonstrating strong investor confidence.
According to Etherscan’s founder and CEO Matthew Tan, Solscan’s talented team has proven its skills in transforming complex blockchain data into an accessible, user-friendly format understandable for any audience. This aligns perfectly with Etherscan’s ethos since its inception – to make decentralized infrastructure more transparent and create impartial gateways to the wealth of data on public blockchains.
Looking ahead, Etherscan pledges through this acquisition to keep excelling at its core objective of supplying fair, equal access to on-chain data across an expanding roster of networks. Additionally, by integrating Solscan’s features with developer tools across Etherscan’s suite of offerings, the unified entity aims to enrich client experiences even further. Meanwhile, dedicating more resources to user support using shared knowledge across both teams remains another key priority on the roadmap.
This acquisition comes just months after Etherscan integrated the popular AI assistant ChatGPT onto its platform. It represents the latest move by Etherscan to cement itself as an indispensable pillar for blockchain insights, transparency, and adoption by both developers and casual users across various ecosystems.
