As Web3 infrastructure evolves, visibility and transparency across networks are becoming just as important as scalability and performance. That’s why @AutonomysNet has partnered with @protofire_io, a leading Web3 infrastructure DAO, to launch a customized Blockscout explorer tailored for the Taurus Auto EVM chain.
This move marks a major leap forward for the Autonomys ecosystem, addressing a critical need: an explorer that not only works — but works for Autonomys.
Why This Partnership Matters
Autonomys isn’t your typical Layer 1 chain. It’s powered by Proof of Autonomous Stake (PoAS) consensus and the Auto EVM, introducing unique mechanics and execution layers. Off-the-shelf tools weren’t sufficient to handle these innovations — especially when it comes to transparency, smart contract visibility, and developer experience.
That’s where Protofire comes in.
Known for their custom Web3 solutions and contributions to major ecosystems, Protofire tailored Blockscout — an open-source explorer — specifically for the Autonomys environment.
What Makes This Explorer Different?
This isn’t a skin-deep implementation. It’s a deeply integrated, robust explorer with features built around Autonomys’ core architecture, including:
✅ Accurate transaction tracking, block indexing, and search
✅ Smart contract verification & direct interaction
✅ Real-time gas usage and network analytics
✅ Transparent, modular UI for devs and users
✅ Seamless support for Autonomys’ evolving features
By customizing the front-end and enhancing back-end compatibility, the explorer ensures that anyone — developer or user — can access and understand exactly what’s happening on-chain.
Why It’s a Win for Developers & Users
For developers, the new explorer offers vital tooling for contract deployment, debugging, and monitoring. It lowers the barrier to building confidently on the Auto EVM.
For users and community members, it creates a clear window into onchain activity. Whether you're tracking a transaction, verifying a contract, or simply exploring the network, the experience is intuitive, fast, and reliable.
