Scheduled maintenance: The EVM side of Flowscan and the API will be unavailable on Monday, 15 September, between 09:00–11:00 GMT (up to 2 hours). Thank you for your patience.

🚀 @flowscanIO just got a major upgrade A seamless experience across @flow_blockchain and EVM on Flow, a complete redesign, and powerful new features that make exploring the blockchain smoother than ever. Overview We’ve had our fingers to the grindstone building the next iteration of Flowscan for most of 2025—and we’re finally ready to share it. With the arrival of EVM on Flow—a virtualized blockchain within a blockchain—we initially deployed an instance of the open-source Blockscout to index and surface EVM activity. While functional, this approach created a fragmented user experience. Jumping between different sites to explore Flow and EVM data broke the narrative of blockchain activity. Even worse, Blockscout had no understanding of how EVM on Flow related to the native Flow chain. When we redesigned our block explorer last summer—transitioning from Flowdiver to Flowscan—we anticipated this moment. We built it with future EVM integration in mind. Our goal was simple but ambitious: a unified explorer experience. Chain Within a Chain: EVM on Flow EVM on Flow is more than just an integration—it’s a virtualized EVM blockchain operating within the Flow blockchain itself. Each Flow block now encapsulates an EVM block, effectively creating two parallel yet interconnected layers of blockchain data. This development was a significant milestone for Flow, bringing full EVM compatibility while preserving the unique advantages of Cadence, including: - Scalability without sharding: Handle massive throughput without fragmenting the network - Multiple read/write calls in a single transaction: Streamline complex operations through Cadence - Hard finality in 20 seconds: Transactions are fully confirmed quickly and securely Ultra-low transaction fees: $0.0000062 average cost per transaction - MEV resilience: Built-in protections against miner extractable value attacks - Native account abstraction & linking: Simplify account management with smart contract-level control - Large on-chain storage: Keep all essential data securely on-chain While this dual-layer structure opens up immense potential, it also introduces a new layer of complexity for block explorers. Navigating two interlinked chains—each with its own data structure and transaction logic—required a rethinking of how we present blockchain data in a single, unified interface. The Challenge Our mission was to build a seamless user journey across both Flow and EVM on Flow. No context-switching. No unnecessary page hopping. Just a single, cohesive interface where users could follow blocks, transactions, and events across the entire ecosystem. This challenge gave us the perfect excuse to rethink what a block explorer could be. Most explorers haven’t evolved much—they still follow outdated design patterns. We believed there was room for something better: a more modern, elegant experience using today’s web tools and design languages. Introducing Confluent Flowscan We’re proud to say we didn’t just meet our goal—we built something truly unique. During the development process, we extended our original timeline to really polish the experience and add features we believed would benefit both Flowscan users and the broader Flow community. New Features Interactive Rows We’ve reimagined how users interact with blocks and transactions. Rows are now interactive. Click a block, and it expands inline to reveal its transactions. Click a transaction, and you’ll see all the associated events—complete with rich data like NFTs, tokens, and more. Omnisearch We merged datasets from both Flow and EVM on Flow into a single powerful search tool. Search results are categorized and context-aware, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for—whether it’s a transaction, token, contract, or .find name. Omnisearch recognizes: - Flow or EVM context - Token types - Smart contracts - .find names - Accounts - Transaction details We’ve also created a separate interface just for people who want to use Omnisearch separately at search.find.xyz. We expect to open source the repo for this at some point. Confluence Across Flow & EVM on Flow Everything now lives in one logical place. Flowscan separates its interface into two main views: Flow View: Displays all native Flow (Cadence) activity and integrates related EVM data like blocks and events. Blocks are labeled as Flow, EVM, or Mixed based on their content. Transactions and events from both chains are shown. EVM View: Focuses exclusively on EVM on Flow data—much like what was available in our earlier Blockscout instance along with EVM specific statistics. You choose how you want to explore. A More Polished, Thoughtful Design With this new version of Flowscan, we didn’t just add features—we gave the entire design a refresh. Many of the improvements are subtle, but together they make a big difference: cleaner layouts, smoother interactions, softened edges. The result is a more modern, intuitive experience that feels easier on the eyes and more enjoyable to use. One of our favourite additions is a subtle visual tint that changes based on your current view. In Flow view, the interface leans into a familiar green tone. Switch to EVM view, and it shifts to a calm blue. It’s a small detail, but it helps you stay naturally oriented as you explore. These kinds of visual cues are part of our effort to make Flowscan feel alive and responsive to how you use it—guiding you without getting in your way. What’s Next? We’d love to hear from you. ✨ Explore the site. Try out the new features. Let us know what’s working—and what could be even better. We’ve got a long list of ideas for what to build next, but your input will help us shape what’s most valuable to the community.
