Exciting advancements in blockchain technology are shaping a more inclusive financial future. Discover how the EVM Smart Contract Explorer is breaking barriers and enhancing accessibility in the crypto space.
In this video, creator Pavel Fedotov shares his journey of developing the EVM Block Explorer, driven by personal challenges in transferring funds and obtaining permits outside the USA and Eurozone. He emphasizes the need for a more affordable blockchain explorer solution to democratize access to financial tools.
The EVM Block Explorer aims to create a unique blockchain data interface, breaking the monopoly of EtherScan. It focuses on assisting projects like the Optimism Foundation, enabling them to prioritize and fund impactful initiatives, while aggregating important contract data in one unified platform.
One of the significant issues addressed is the scattered nature of existing blockchain data and the changing contract addresses that hinder developers’ efforts. By discussing various contract versions and advocating for open-source registry contributions, the explorer enhances visibility and accessibility.
The importance of storing crucial blockchain data for registries is highlighted, along with challenges accessing free APIs for reliable volume data. Pav shares how he switched from Block Scout API to VM for data fetching to enhance reliability, and how he is working on tracking attestations—similar to verifying university credentials.
Through these developments, there's a push for using a single protocol for reading blockchains, facilitating better support and handling in the web3 ecosystem. Pav also mentions qualifying for Gitcoin grants, emphasizing community contributions and the potential for infrastructure funding through sponsor support.
