Blockscout Raises $3M in Seed Funding
Summary
Blockscout, a Seychelles based open-source block explorer for all EVM-based chains, raised $3M in Seed funding. The round was led by 1kx, with participation from Primitive Ventures and Gnosis, and angels including Evan Van Ness, Alex Svanevik, Kartik Talwar, Anton Bukov, and Stefan George. The company intends to use the funds to further build out the product suite and improve the user experience, such as the integration of social elements and AI-enabled tooling directly into the dashboard. Led by Igor Barinov, Founder and CEO, Blockscout provides an open-source block explorer that gives access to blockchain data with multi-search functionalities and advanced analytics for over 600 networks, including Filecoin, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and more. Integrated in the L2 rollup ecosystem, Blockscout has now become a solution for RaaS providers such as Conduit, AltLayer, Gelato, Chainstack, and Astria, who all integrate them to give their customers a block explorer out of the box.
