The company is also deeply integrated into the L2 rollup ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Prominent entities like Arbitrum, Filecoin, OP, Base, and Immutable are collaborating with Blockscout, with some partnerships lasting for extended periods.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Blockscout has been working closely with Optimism for over two years, providing crucial information for the Bedrock upgrade, for which the community awarded them a Retro Grant.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Blockscout announced a new interface with Arbitrum One, simplifying data access for DAOs, NFTs, and decentralized applications across Arbitrum.<\/p>\n<p>Blockscout is an open-source block explorer for EVM chains. It supports over 600 networks and offers developers smart contract verification tools and streamlined APIs for scanning blocks, transactions, accounts, and tokens.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s new DAppscout marketplace enables secure discovery, exploration, and interaction with decentralized applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blockscout, a UAE-based company, has successfully secured $3 million in seed funding, led by 1kx. .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":30711,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"post_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1810],"tags":[5373,5372],"class_list":["post-30695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fintech","tag-1kx-en","tag-blockscout"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entarabi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
