Please provide details and evidence of your participation.\",\"explanation\":\"Yes\\nOctant Epoch 4: https://discuss.octant.app/t/blockscout-open-source-block-explorer/313\\n\\nGitcoin previous rounds: https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/projects/0x9aba986e5a1628f7cad35a182c7b0e51011dd92219abbf990dba0e75773fb47d\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Please describe how your project contributes to the growth and development of the Octant ecosystem.\",\"explanation\":\"Blockscout supports the greater Ethereum ecosystem with an open source block explorer. This explorer can be used by any chain and customized to suit the needs of that chain and its users. For Octant, this means associated projects can use the explorer to provide information about their dapps/projects (through DAppscout - ie  https://eth.blockscout.com/apps/octant), include tags and labels related to their projects, and verify their smart contracts. Because an explorer is essential infrastructure, it is used by people everyday to check their transactions, read contracts and more. Providing relevant and accurate information in a transparent, decentralized way is vital for the growth of the ecosystem.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"How does your project align with the round's focus on community and education within the Octant ecosystem?\",\"explanation\":\"We want to provide data that is instantly accessible and usable for both chain observers and developers. Blockchain data is a big part of the education process - projects need access to analytic data so they can educate their users. Through the inclusion of metadata, we can also provide offchain data that relates to onchain data (for example farcaster account links from address pages), creating a richer data environment. We also aim to provide educational materials for the community about how to explore blockchain data (through our tooltips series and blog posts) and information about new EIPs or other updates that impact exploration (such as https://www.blog.blockscout.com/blobs/).\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Provide a clear roadmap of your project, detailing future milestones and deliverables. How does this demonstrate your commitment to long-term impact and growth within the Octant ecosystem?\",\"explanation\":\"We are committed to continued growth of the open source product as well as initiatives to bring more cohesiveness to L2/L3 networks. Our roadmap for the remainder of the year includes:\\n- Better support for account abstraction through public tagging and AA-specific transaction handling\\n- Enhanced name service coverage to support multiple L2s and multiple name services on a single chain.\\n- DA (Data availability) support for rollups \\n- A simple wizard for 5 minute deployment of an explorer for any new L2 or L3 rollup.\\n- Multi-chain search page\\n\\nMore details about our product roadmap can be found at https://docs.blockscout.com/about/roadmap\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Describe your team's expertise and how it contributes to the successful execution of your project.\",\"explanation\":\"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.\\n\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"How does your project complement or enhance existing initiatives within the Octant ecosystem rather than competing directly against them?\",\"explanation\":\"An open source block explorer is a foundational tool that can be used by many projects. We’ve worked with some other Octant based projects to support their DAppscout listings. We are happy to collaborate with other open source projects in any ways that we can to increase exposure and promote decentralization.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"Describe your approach to community engagement and how you plan to contribute to a collaborative and constructive funding environment.\",\"explanation\":\"We engage our community through social media, events and conferences (sponsored EthGlobal hackathons and other hackathons and bootcamps), AMAs, and other outreach efforts. We have many working partnerships and promote their efforts as well as our own. We follow the ‘rising tide lifts all boats’ philosophy and believe that open-source projects need to stand in solidarity with one another.\"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"How do you plan to use the funding to maximize your project's ongoing impact within the Octant ecosystem if selected?\",\"explanation\":\"We plan to continue with our multi-chain explorer development to help bring greater interoperability and cohesiveness to the ecosystem as a whole. We also plan to introduce more cross-chain metadata, including Octant-specific metadata (tagging Octant projects and donors for example) when available. \"},{\"type\":\"paragraph\",\"query\":\"What unique educational content or resources have you created for the Octant ecosystem? How has the community received these? Please share any relevant links\",\"explanation\":\"We participated in Epoch 4 for Octant, our first. During that time we added Octant to DAppscout, tweeted about Octant and our progress, sent out information about Octant to our 30k email subscribers, and participated in a Linkedin interview with the team. These were well received by our community.\\n\\n- Newsletter: https://www.blog.blockscout.com/blockscout-news-june-2024\\n\\n- Interview: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lets-chat-andrew-from-blockscout-octantapp-4a1df/\\n\\n- Octant Dapp: https://eth.blockscout.com/apps/octant\\n\\n- Tweets: https://x.com/blockscoutcom/status/1803835704520437915     https://x.com/blockscoutcom/status/1798433800307052621\"}],\"type\":\"grant-details\"}"}}]
