In a bold step toward transparency and developer empowerment, Autonomys has partnered with Protofire to build a custom Blockscout front-end — purpose-built for the Autonomys ecosystem.
🧩 What Problem Does This Solve?
Navigating a blockchain network often means dealing with generic tools that don’t reflect the specific needs of a chain or its community. Developers and explorers on Autonomys were missing a network-aware, modular explorer that could deliver precise insights into everything from transaction history to smart contract interactions.

🛠️ What Is Blockscout, and Why Customize It?
Blockscout is an open-source blockchain explorer designed for Ethereum-compatible networks. It helps users:
Track transactions and wallet activity
Inspect smart contracts and token data
View block confirmations and gas metrics
By building a custom UI, Autonomys ensures:
A seamless, intuitive experience for Taurus builders
Chain-specific optimizations for better performance
Modular integration for future-proof upgrades
🤝 Roles in the Collaboration
Autonomys: Provides the Taurus infrastructure and outlines explorer needs.
Protofire: Develops and customizes the Blockscout UI to fit Autonomys’ architecture.
Together, they’re delivering a next-gen explorer that’s fast, transparent, and open-source.
🚀 Why This Matters
For developers, this means easier debugging, contract inspection, and tx tracking.
For users, it brings clarity and confidence in their on-chain interactions.
And for Autonomys, it’s a step closer to a modular, verifiable, and open Web3 future.
