The Future for Block Explorers Is Harder Than It Seems
Routescan is a unified multi-chain block explorer platform for the greater EVM ecosystem, and it's born as a spin-off of Avascan, the leading block explorer for Avalanche. Since launching Routescan in September 2023 in Seoul, we saw massive growth in new clients and chains to support. Our vision for routescan is ambitious: democratise access to high-quality built block explorers on a unified platform ready for a seamless multi-chain modular future. But we weren’t the only ones. Many new ...

A $DEGEN Poem
$DEGEN is live since a few weeks, heck, maybe just a few days, and it’s already going crazy. $DEGEN is like $DOGE, but in a fully onchain world. $DEGEN is like $COQ, as the vibes are really gud. $DEGEN is only trading on Uniswap, but who knows if the Big Base will list it one day. $DEGEN is all of us, and that’s why we hold. We don’t sell $DEGEN, except to buy $DEGEN-related onchain stuff. We live in a degen world, we’re all $DEGEN.

Ones and zeros: Thoughts on the RetroPGF Round 3
For the Optimism RetroPGF Round 3, we applied with the Superscan, the unified block explorer for the Superchain. I can’t say what’s the outcome yet, because we need to wait for the final results to be delivered in January, but I want to take some time to think about what was good, what went wrong and how it could be improved. I really like the way the Optimism Collective is trying to self-govern itself by establishing processes and iterating through them in the open air, transparently. What I...

People Hate Change - But Love The Idea
Cover Image by Mick Haupt on Unsplash Over the last three years at Avascan, I realized that people hate changes, but love the idea of change. It’s kind of a paradox, but it’s true. When we launched Avascan, on September 1st, we were so ecstatic about how we were going to build the next-generation explorer on Avalanche. The user interface was very much different from what you were used to see on other explorer, and that’s for some different reasons: the first, is that we hired a senior UI/UX d...

We Do Live In A Fucked Up World
Yesterday I was in an online meeting with a potential client, and at one point I asked:"What are the next steps? How much time do you think we'll need to get through the process and everything?"They answered:"Should be a few weeks, but I don't know for sure. Some of us are in the UK, but most live in Israel, and many were called to the front a few days ago. I don't know what's gonna happen, but this is a good distraction for me, working and having meetings all day."Man, th...
