One of the world’s leading Web3 infrastructure providers, Ankr, announces the launch of Chainscanner, an all-in-one block explorer and analysis platform for application-specific blockchains (AppChains). It is beneficial for both developers and users as it provides an easy-to-use interface to take care of all needs for interacting with AppChains deployed on sidechain ecosystems such as BNB, Polygon and Avalanche. Chainscanner is available for free on the Ankr website. The tool enables users to search transaction data, addresses and smart contracts. It also provides a visual representation of data from the Ethereum blockchain.
The new development came just days after Ankr announced that it would become the first RPC provider on the Aptos Blockchain. Developers no longer need to build block explorers or other necessary blockchain infrastructure from scratch or use the existing – and expensive – solutions to view on-chain data and transactions.
What separates Chainscanner from other alternatives?
Chainscanner is its intuitive interface that provides users with everything they need to interact with app-specific blockchains (AppChains) deployed on sidechain ecosystems. The product counts major blockchains including BNB, Polygon and Avalanche and offers a set of tools that empower you to map crypto transactions.
Chainscanner transparently displays transaction and address data and acts as a search engine to provide an overview of activities occurring on blockchains. But unlike similar products like Etherscan, Ankr’s all-in-one investigative tool compiles information from many different networks, not just the Ethereum chain. Simply put, it is a user-facing tool that retrieves data from the main database and reflects it in a simple and convenient web interface.
Ankr also offers AppChains-as-a-Service, a new way to develop and deploy decentralized applications. It is a turnkey solution that allows developers to focus on building their applications on custom subchains, including BNB Chain (BSC), Avalanche (AVAX) and Polygon (MATIC), while Ankr manages the infrastructure and scale.
Kev Silk, Product Manager for Ankr AppChains, said: “Chainscanner is an essential new building block for AppChains that greatly improves user experience with tools built to let users instantly search for data, stake tokens, vote on management proposals, development resources to get, apply to become a validator and learn all about different chains.This is how we make decentralized applications as easy to use and as high performance as the centralized applications we interact with every day.
Chainscanner gives developers insight into the performance of their chain relative to other chains in the market, as well as the supply and demand for strike. Users, on the other hand, can collect data on the use of a particular chain or token to understand how much traction a Web3 application is getting. With Chainscanner, developers and users will have access to transparent and independent results and data about validators, active users, token information, token holders, and more.
