Blockchain is not easy to read
------------------------------

The rise of cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications led to an increase in the number of blockchain networks that are the infrastructure to onboard billions of users into the web3 world. Every new blockchain was built to implement new ideas or solve existing problems. They were designed and built in multiple forms of infrastructures and algorithms that led to the fragmenting of blockchain data, every blockchain has its own data formations, types, and concepts.

In this situation, users who want to onboard into the web3 world must learn many things in every blockchain they are going to use. Currently, users want to know what happens when they make a transaction on a blockchain, they can use a blockchain explorer like Etherscan. Explorers can show users so many details about a transaction like which tokens are being transferred, and which contract is being called. However, more and more applications with many features make the transaction look more complicated to read and understand.

For example, let's take a look at [this transaction](https://etherscan.io/tx/0xa0aa890e8d2969dd12d54018c98bc6d60f5089edc7fe0c983787f0e9a7ac0d5b) on Ethereum. We can see many token transfers happening in the transaction but what are these for?

Now look at [this transaction](https://rantom.app/tx/0xa0aa890e8d2969dd12d54018c98bc6d60f5089edc7fe0c983787f0e9a7ac0d5b) on Rantom.

We can see that Rantom can show you simple and easy-to-understand actions like token deposits, borrowing, or trades on which platform and by which address. Etherscan has already shown actions on some popular platforms on Ethereum like Uniswap, Aave, Compound, and Sushiswap. But maybe we question that how about other platforms, how about other blockchains?

Unite all in one

The initial development of Rantom was started with the Ethereum blockchain, we designed it to be compatible with EVM-based blockchain from the beginning. Recently, we have expanded and deployed it on Ethereum layer-2 blockchains Base and Arbitrum. However, our vision is not limited to EVM-based blockchains, we want to support other blockchains too like Solana, Aptos, or Sui in the near future.

> 💡In the end, Rantom transforms blockchain data into a single easy-to-read format on any kind of data structure on any blockchain.

Currently, Rantom supports more than 50 protocols across three blockchains: Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum. We are starting the development on the Aptos blockchain and expanding to other EVM-based blockchains like Polygon, Optimism, and BnbChain.

How was Rantom born?
--------------------

Rantom was open source from the beginning and in the future too. We believe that blockchain data is public and our codes have nothing to hide.

In the early stage of this project, we tried to connect to the Ethereum ecosystem to apply for some grant programs to maintain our server cost. We want to say thank you to Compound Finance, Lido, Yearn, and Beanstalk who have supported us from the beginning 🙌
