CronoScan to aid users in exploring and searching for information about newly-launched Cronos blockchain

Particle B today announced an integration partnership with Etherscan, the leading blockchain explorer, search, API, and analytics platform for Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains. Sponsored by the blockchain accelerator Particle B, the integration brings the most popular blockchain explorer to Cronos, the first Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain on Cosmos running in parallel to the Crypto.org Chain. This instance of Etherscan on Cronos will be named CronoScan, launching with comprehensive features that Etherscan offers.

CronoScan will allow users and developers to explore and search Cronos for transactions, addresses, tokens, prices and other activities taking place on the blockchain. This explorer, which supports both Cronos mainnet, will feature many of the functions, tools, and resources that are already available with Etherscan, making the Cronos blockchain as easily explorable as Ethereum.

Features that will appear on CronoScan include viewing transactions, validated block details, validator lists, charts, developer API endpoints, and tools such as smart contract verification. Having the capability of verifying and inspecting contracts before interacting with them, will further enhance the security of the Cronos ecosystem.

Gary Or, Founder of Particle B, said: “We are excited to partner with Etherscan, the trusted brand in block explorers, in creating a top-notch explorer for the Cronos blockchain. This explorer will make it possible for stakeholders in the Cronos ecosystem to gather and analyze important onchain data immediately upon its launch. We can’t wait to welcome more and more projects joining the Cronos ecosystem.”

Matthew Tan, Founder & CEO of Etherscan, said: “User-friendly access to blockchain data is needed for DeFi and dApp ecosystems. We are pleased to provide our experience with managing these to the Cronos blockchain.”
