Our newest offering is a complete wallet as a service platform that integrates seamlessly across your chain's ecosystem, from explorer to dapps and beyond.

Built-in features include:

  • Secure key management
  • Smart account support (EIP-7702)
  • Social recovery options
  • Transaction sponsorship (gasless transactions)
  • Full customization and branding

Our pilot program is now live. If your chain needs a production-ready, branded wallet solution that actually works across your entire ecosystem, please get in touch.

What Is Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS)? Simplifying Web3 with an Ecosystem Approach
Blockscout Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) gives new and growing EVM ecosystems a fast way to launch a branded, self-custodial wallet with Account Abstraction support. Combine WaaS with Explorer-as-a-Service for a seamless onchain experience across explorers, portals, and dapps.

Exploring Optimism

Blockscout's Optimism explorer is built through deep collaboration with the Optimism team, delivering rollup-specific features that align with the network's evolving roadmap. Beyond standard block and transaction search, we provide specialized tools for batch monitoring, transaction tracing, and network health metrics. Whether you're a casual user checking transaction status or a protocol developer debugging batch submissions, the explorer gives you complete visibility into Optimism's Layer 2 infrastructure.

Explore Optimism with Blockscout: Tools Built for the Network
The block explorer for Optimism brings full transparency to the network’s rollup activity. Explore features like Flashblocks, EIP-4844 blobs, fee breakdowns, dispute games, and more, all built in close alignment with the OP roadmap.

Execution Layer Staking: How Blockscout supports deposits and withdrawals on Ethereum

Ethereum's Pectra upgrade fundamentally changed how validators interact with the network by moving deposit and withdrawal processes to the execution layer. Users can now track deposit status (pending, completed, or invalid), monitor both partial and full withdrawals, and understand the flow of staking activity in real time on the Ethereum Blockscout Explorer.

Ethereum Staking After Pectra: Understanding Execution Layer Deposits and Withdrawals

The transition has been incremental, with various upgrades enabling staking functionality, instantiating validator withdrawals, and much more. The

ETHOnline 2025

ETHGlobal's ETHOnline 2025 is in full swing, with builders vying for more than $100K in prizes. Blockscout is sponsoring the hackathon with a $10K bounty for hackers who use Autoscout, the Blockscout SDK, or the new Blockscout MCP in their projects. The hackathon runs from Oct 10 - 31, giving devs 3 weeks to build something great. We're excited to see the new use cases and applications that come from the hackathon!
