A Decade Onchain: Our Shared Journey Ten years ago we started with a simple idea: To make Onchain data open, accessible and human-readable for everyone. In those early days, it often felt like we were just charting an unknown space: medium.com/@etherscan/space-… Back then, our role was simply to map each block so others could navigate their way safely and transparently. Over time, that map grew into core infrastructure. We came to realize that running a block explorer is more than indexing block data—it’s about maintaining a trust layer made up of countless precise components, relied on by users, researchers, and builders alike. It’s a responsibility we’re grateful for, and one we continue to take seriously. Along the way, we introduced Explorer as a Service (EaaS) and began building explorers across L1s, L2s, and other networks. Together with project teams, we adapted explorers to local needs, improved them through countless forks, and worked to turn raw data into clarity that users could rely on. As those networks grew, we grew alongside them—release by release, step by step. Today, Etherscan explorers serve hundreds of millions of users across the most consequential blockchains. That reach was never our aim in itself. But simply the outcome of many small, careful decisions to keep the product fast, factual, and fair... Every day, every market cycle. This milestone belongs to the community: • To users and researchers: Thank you for trusting us to be your onchain lens. • To developers and project teams: Thank you for the feedback that sharpened the explorer and enriched the data. • To our EaaS partners: Thank you for choosing us to power the explorers your communities rely on. • To the Etherscan Team: Thank you for the steady and quiet work behind the scenes. As we look ahead, our principles remain unchanged: clarity over hype, neutrality over noise, respect for privacy, and an uncompromising focus on the details that make blockchains legible. This next chapter will also be defined by giving back—supporting the communities and ecosystems that made this journey possible. We will continue investing in tools, programs, and initiatives that strengthen the ecosystem and empower those who build and explore within it. Here’s to the next decade--> Back to building 🚀 @etherscan

The “$2M/year” flat fee pricing claim is false. Pricing depends on actual infra & support needs. Ads only run on community explorers (e.g. etherscan.io) to offset ops costs, never on partner explorers unless explicitly agreed. Partners get full dedicated explorers plus priority support, continuous updates, SLAs, APIs & much more — not just a “tiny box.”
