🗞️ Blockscout News in Brief


Rootstock WaaS

Thanks to a builder grant from the RootstockCollective DAO, Blockscout has launched our first Global Wallet on Rootstock! The wallet is designed for new user onboarding, and includes a built-in fiat onramp and modern authentication that streamlines login and wallet creation.

Our white-labeled SDK allows any Rootstock dapp to integrate the same wallet experience directly into their applications. This means users can access a consistent, ecosystem-wide wallet wherever they start their journey, whether in a dapp, the explorer, or a standalone interface.
