Etherscan said its Solscan acquisition was a “collaborative merging” to help the firm expand its blockchain data services across multiple networks.
Etherscan, which operates an explorer for the Ethereum blockchain, is starting the year with new acquisitions related to the Solana blockchain.
On Jan. 3, Etherscan officially announced the acquisition of Solscan, a leading block explorer for the Solana ecosystem. The acquisition is a “collaborative merging” that continues Etherscan’s efforts to expand blockchain data services across multiple networks, it said.
Founded in 2021, Solscan has reportedly served over three million monthly users, while its community on X (formerly Twitter) has amassed more than 23,000 subscribers at the time of writing. The Solscan block explorer has many features that are familiar to users of Etherscan, including detailed address, token and transaction data as well as APIs, dashboards and nonfungible tokens (NFT) metadata.
