Going PRO

Blockscout block explorer onchain data API

We asked developers across blockchain ecosystems one question: "What's the #1 thing that would improve your development process?"

The answer was unanimous: better APIs. APIs with more reliability, more RPS, more chains, more value.

Devs wanted more - so we built the Blockscout PRO API.

It's multichain by default, simple to migrate (swap your base URL and chain ID from Etherscan), and the numbers speak for themselves:

  • Free plan: 100K credits/day, 5 RPS, all supported chains (Etherscan free: 3 RPS, limited chains)
  • $49/mo: 15 RPS, 100M credits (Etherscan: 5 RPS, 100K calls)
  • $199/mo: 30 RPS, 500M credits (Etherscan: 10 RPS, 200K calls)

Your developer portal gives you real-time usage stats and up to 50 unique API keys with on-demand regeneration. Business and enterprise tiers are also available for power users.

If your current API isn't keeping up, it's time to Go PRO.
