Blockscout has been active for more than 6 years, relying on grants and public goods funding over that time to help build and run an open-source explorer.  We’ve grown tremendously over the past 2 years, supporting more than 600 networks. Many of these projects fork and use Blockscout for free, and some use our explorer as a service which provides hosting and maintenance. While these funds cover a portion of our resources, we still rely on public goods funding to support our infrastructure and team of 30. Most of these team members are researchers and developers with many years of blockchain experience in fields such as sidechains, bridges, consensus mechanisms, and zkproofs.
