During the launch, the lead developer of POA Network, Igor Barinov said:
“When we were building our network, we noticed that our current block explorer options were limited in functionality and closed source. For this reason, we could not offer updates, integrate sidechains or add to the development. BlockScout changes the game for explorers because it provides detailed insights for anyone who is looking for a way to effectively verify transactions on private chains, sidechains and on the Ethereum and Ethereum Classic blockchain.”
In August, a beta version of the BlockScout was released on GitHub after more than 12 months of development. After getting feedback from the community, a more ideal, feature-rich version of BlockScout will be introduced to public.
Ethereum Classic Price Analysis
The news about the release of BlockScout hasn’t caused any spike in the price of Ethereum Classic. At the time of writing, Ethereum Classic was trading in red at $10.74. This shows that it was down by 1.59% against the USD and 0.65% against Bitcoin. Since the price hasn’t reflected the good news yet, it’s safe to say that the general negative sentiment in the market may be responsible.
