Hacking IRL
We're headed to Prague this weekend for our first official in-person hackathon of 2025! With new features including Autoscout, Merit Integrations and the Blockscout SDK, along with $20,000 in bounties, there is something for every developer to buidl with. If you're in town, please swing by our ETHGlobal booth, say hello, and collect some royal swag!
Advertise with Blockscout to reach 200K+ developers, analysts, and cross-chain explorers across 1000+ EVM chains. Learn more here.
ETHPrague and ETHGlobal is an amazing opportunity for us to showcase new Blockscout tools and help spread the word about open-source and decentralized infrastructure. Our team has been on the ground since Monday, exploring the conference and catching up with friends and collaborators.
Blockscout's head of BD Mojmir gave a talk at NEON's Interoperability Meetup. The topic was, you guessed it, interoperability! Block explorers are at the forefront of this sea change to reduce fragmentation and create a seamless multichain experience.
The hackathon starts Friday, and Blockscout is ready with 20K in prizes, including prizes for best use, best Blockscout SDK integration, best Merits use case, and a large pool prize for EVERYTHING Blockscout related! Learn more about prizes and participation here.
Product Updates
This week we announced several key integrations we've been working on for some time. We're excited to have these features released for you to explore!
Pectra Support
The Pectra hardfork introduces significant updates to Ethereum's functionality, and we've been working hard on the explorer side to support Pectra. Many thanks 🙏🙏🙏 to the Ethereum Foundation who is funding the work to ensure vital Ethereum infrastructure and tooling is resourced and ready.
In this article we highlight the specific changes introduced by EIP-7702 and describe some common use cases. We also detail the updates we’ve made at Blockscout to help you identify and explore EIP-7702 transactions.

Celestia DA
Celestia is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain specializing in processing blobs (large data batches) sent from rollup chains (L2s). With the new Blockscout integration, data on Celestia and Celenium is easier than ever to analyze and interact with.

Partner Updates
The Quicknode Accelerator helped 26 projects bring their rollups to life, and Blockscout was proud to participate as a partner and sponsor. Final presentations wrapped up Wednesday, and QN will be announcing winners shortly, including the winner of 5K in Autoscout credits.
We joined a spaces with SPACE ID Protocol to talk about humanizing the web3 experience and improving the blockchain experience with multichain domain names.
Custom address icons bring a bit of flair to your Blockchain exploration. The Nouns icon integration is the latest addition to the settings menu, now available on all updated Blockscout instances.
Not every explorer feels nounish… but on Blockscout you can always toggle on the noggles PFP at anytime 😎
