One Click Explorer
Block explorers have never been easy to launch and maintain. Most are closed source, expensive and centralized. The few that are available as open-source software (like Blockscout) contain complex multi-faceted code that can be difficult to update and resource intensive to run. But what if it wasn't so hard?
In today's newsletter we ask the question "What if you could launch an explorer with just one click..."
Today's edition is brought to you by Soneium - a public Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs to invoke emotion and empower creativity.

What if you could launch a full-featured block explorer for your chain with the press of a button?
Would you do it....? Well, now you can! Last week we introduced our flagship self-service deployment launchpad called Autoscout. Autoscout simplifies the entire explorer launch process from start to finish.
- Create an account.
- Enter your chain parameters.
- Press a button ( Save and Deploy) to launch your explorer into orbit 🚀
That's it! You can top off your account when it runs low, and Blockscout takes care of any needed updates, maintenance, and cloud hosting for your instance.
Learn more about Autoscout on our blog, and read our showcase of Gas.zip, one of the early adopters of the platform. Autoscout lowers the barrier of entry and allows any project, no matter how big or how small, to quickly get an explorer up and running for any EVM chain or rollup.
If you've ever thought about launching your own chain and block explorer, now's the time!
