How many do you recognize?" url: https://info.etherscan.com/24-etherscan-features-in-2024/ tags: ["Blog"] published: 2025-01-07 updated: 2026-06-21 --- # 24 Etherscan Features in 2024 ![](https://info.etherscan.com/24-etherscan-features-in-2024/images/2025/01/article--2--1.png) 2024 was a transformative year for Ethereum L2s, with significant advancements in infrastructure and tooling that accelerated deployments, increased TPS, and kept user fees low. Amid the rapid rise of L2s, Team Etherscan focused on unifying the user and developer experiences in an increasingly multichain ecosystem, while continuing to support important upgrades and improvements on the Ethereum mainnet. As we look ahead to 2025, let’s take a moment to recap on the 24 features Team Etherscan launched in 2024. How many do you recognize? [Take the quiz](https://goto.etherscan.com/rd/b56-poll) and share which features you'd like to see us roll out this year! 1. **Explorer as a Service (EaaS)** The trend of L2s gained even more momentum in 2024, with new networks launching one after another. As part of our [EaaS](https://etherscan.io/eaas) product, we helped build reliable and scalable L2 block explorers, including **9 EVM explorers**, [ZKsync](https://era.zksync.network), [Frax](https://fraxscan.com), [Blast](https://blastscan.io), [Mantle](https://mantlescan.xyz), [Taiko](https://taikoscan.io), [World](https://worldscan.org), [Unichain (testnet)](https://sepolia.uniscan.xyz), [Sophon](https://sophscan.xyz), [Abstract (testnet)](https://sepolia.abscan.org), and **1 SVM explorer**, [Eclipse](https://eclipsescan.xyz). Additionally, we developed 2 L3 explorers, [Xai](https://xaiscan.io) and [Apechain](https://apescan.io), and supported 3 other L1 explorers, including [Solana](https://info.etherscan.com/solscan-acquisition/), [XDC](https://xdcscan.com), and [Sonic](https://sonicscan.org). 2. **Blockscan Multichain Explorer (Beta)** Full explorers like Etherscan can often be overwhelming for everyday users. To address this, we released [Blockscan](https://blockscan.com) (Beta) as a follow-up to the [Multichain Portfolio feature](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1738515605547049218). Blockscan provides a cleaner transaction receipt and aggregated multichain portfolio, with links back to the respective full explorers for more detailed information. > πŸ†•Β Blockscan Multichain ExplorerΒ (Beta) > > A simple explorer for your everyday onchain interactions [pic.twitter.com/OgHSCKt09U](https://t.co/OgHSCKt09U) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [July 11, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1811413541938991609?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) This simple explorer is also available on the redesigned [Blockscan mobile](https://chat.blockscan.com/start) app alongside the convenient chat functionality. 3. **Cards** On May 1st, we introduced Cards, enabling trusted third-party integrations to display additional useful information related to addresses and tokens. In 2024, we integrated a total of 13 Cards, including [airdrop claimables](https://x.com/BanklessHQ/status/1785357290050048257), [POAP collection](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1793619286176776627), [token security detection](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1800137971590692886), [attestations](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1801210036913590583), [yield opportunity](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1804120065320849817), [DAO activity](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1806664486692204705), [supply analysis](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1811016547756036359), [unique humanity score](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1825496454968025145), [builder score](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1830970507292012870), [safety score](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1834399835262451952), [EAS attestations](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1841805121912705374), [token smell test](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1848338420596433359), and [Tap 2 Grow](https://x.com/etherscan/status/1855961560738668826) (a week-long tap-to-earn game with a Devcon twist). > πŸ†• Etherscan Cards > > Quickly access info such as claimable airdrops, token approvals and IDMs with the new Cards tab in Address page [pic.twitter.com/jnx1Knm9lQ](https://t.co/jnx1Knm9lQ) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [April 30, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1785357882181214215?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 4. **Blobs** In March, core developers deployed the Dencun upgrade to mainnet, introducing blobsβ€”temporary data storage that is significantly cheaper for L2 settlement. Blob data has been available on Etherscan since day one and remains accessible even after regular beacon nodes remove it, typically after 18 days of storage. > Hola Dencun πŸ‘‹ > > Blobs are live on Etherscan .oO [pic.twitter.com/Ex9km5HZxT](https://t.co/Ex9km5HZxT) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [March 13, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1767970586146533449?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 5. **Etherscan API V2: Multichain (Beta)** As EVM chains gain greater adoption and applications become easier to deploy across multiple chains, the use of APIs from various EVM explorers developed by Team Etherscan has also increased. Previously, developers had to manage multiple API keys and subscriptions from different explorers to query similar endpoints. The introduction of the Multichain API streamlined this process, enabling developers to manage a single Etherscan subscription and query endpoints from over 50 EVM chains with a single API key by specifying the chain ID. > πŸ†• Etherscan API V2: Multichain (Beta) > > Access data from leading EVM chains with a single Etherscan API key > > Say goodbye to managing multiple API keys for different chains πŸ‘‹ [pic.twitter.com/uDOjlDUqOt](https://t.co/uDOjlDUqOt) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [October 25, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1849772046089322588?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Developers can also verify the same contract on multiple chains at one-go. > The best part? > > ✨ Verify your contract on multiple chains with a single API key from Etherscan, instead of creating a new API key on each explorer ✨ > > Check out the docs:[https://t.co/2df12lFiSG](https://t.co/2df12lFiSG) > And the supported chains:[https://t.co/btFwFtKjFz](https://t.co/btFwFtKjFz) [pic.twitter.com/cLr0l0QMHW](https://t.co/cLr0l0QMHW) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [March 18, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1769688968248086742?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 6. **Account Abstraction Transactions (Beta)** The traditional onboarding process for Ethereum via EOAs can be cumbersome, particularly for retail users. They are often given a 12-word seed phrase and expected to self-custody their assets, risking permanent fund loss if the phrase is forgotten. Account abstraction (AA) simplifies this by shifting from EOAs to smart contract wallets. This enables features like multisig approvals, social recovery, sponsored gas fees, and bundling multiple actions (user operations) into a single transaction. And these AA transactions can now be viewed directly on the explorer! > πŸ†• Account Abstraction Transactions (Beta) > > ERC-4337 Account Abstraction (AA) transactions - also known as User Ops - are now shown on the explorer! > > 1\. Browse a list of AA transactions > 2\. View AA bundle and transaction details > 3\.

In response to a long-overdue feature request, developers can now easily view all facet contracts associated with a diamond proxy. > πŸ†• Diamond Proxy Support (Beta) > > Contracts following the ERC-2535: Diamonds, Multi-Facet Proxy standard now have their facet contracts displayed in the Contract tab πŸ’Ž [pic.twitter.com/X7CZHs15Xs](https://t.co/X7CZHs15Xs) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [November 4, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1853414623581753801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 9. **Experimental Feature: Transaction Action** We’ve introduced a new setting that allows you to enable experimental features and explore Etherscan in new ways by trying out features before they’re rolled out to all users. > πŸ†•βš—οΈ Experimental Feature: Transaction Action > > Turning on this option moves the Transaction Action field to the top of the page > > For those who’d like to see the key highlights of a tx in one glance [pic.twitter.com/JuxphPQ0Gf](https://t.co/JuxphPQ0Gf) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [December 6, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1864998578546221058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 10. **Stylus Contract Verification & API** In September, Arbitrum launched Stylus on mainnet, enabling developers to write smart contracts in languages other than Solidity, such as Rust, that compile to WebAssembly (WASM). Smart contracts written in Stylus and deployed on Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova can now be verified on the respective explorers. > πŸ†• Stylus Contract Verification > > With [@arbitrum](https://twitter.com/arbitrum?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Stylus contracts now live on Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova, developers can verify their deployed Stylus contracts on each explorer [https://t.co/EZiroSYBDv](https://t.co/EZiroSYBDv) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [September 4, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1831346179969532253?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) We also enabled Stylus contract verification via API. You can find the documentation [here](https://docs.arbiscan.io/api-endpoints/contracts#verify-stylus-source-code). 11. **More Domain Name Support** - You can now search for DNS names imported into ENS on the explorer. > πŸ†• DNS Lookup > > DNS names imported into ENS can now be searched on the Domain Name Lookup page [pic.twitter.com/cbwiutmTJh](https://t.co/cbwiutmTJh) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [February 23, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1760994894435492098?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) - Besides, ENS names forward lookup is now available on all L2 explorers, simply go to your favorite L2 explorer and search for your ENS name. > ens now works on > > – arbitrum > – optimism > – base > – scroll > – taiko > > to name just a few... > > i'm so grateful for the work that [@etherscan](https://twitter.com/etherscan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) does [pic.twitter.com/72BJWrhyhP](https://t.co/72BJWrhyhP) > > β€” slobo.eth (@AlexSlobodnik) [July 17, 2024](https://twitter.com/AlexSlobodnik/status/1813419594352148915?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) - [Basenames](https://www.base.org/names) and [Linea names](https://names.linea.build) are also supported on the respective explorers. 12. **MEV-Protected Transactions Searchable while Pending** As [private transactions](https://x.com/sui414/status/1808368067577356465) rose in 2024 to shield against MEV-hungry bots, searching for these pending transactions on Etherscan was not possible, as they were not available in the public mempool. Since then, we've integrated MEV-protected transactions with several leading providers, making them searchable on Etherscan while pending. > Did you know? οΏΌπŸ€” > > MEV-protected transactions sent via integrated partners are searchable on Etherscan while pending > > Note: > \- the transaction is only shown when directly entering a tx hash, not listed anywhere on the explorer > \- images below are samples only [pic.twitter.com/birLkmeHWr](https://t.co/birLkmeHWr) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [May 21, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1792898572758737001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 13. **Extended NatSpec Support** NatSpec (Ethereum Natural Specification Format) is a standard for documenting smart contracts in Ethereum. It makes contracts easier to understand for users, developers, and tools like wallets or IDEs. We've extended NatSpec support to include interface & abstract contracts, similar match contracts, and parameter description for tuples. > πŸ†• Updates to NatSpec support on Etherscan > > We’ve recently added NatSpec support in the Read/Write contract tabs for: > β€’ Interface & abstract contracts > β€’ Similar match contracts > β€’ Parameter description for tuples [pic.twitter.com/rOajTZjqQr](https://t.co/rOajTZjqQr) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [June 4, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1797967858816983251?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 14. **Gas Tracker Decimal Points** During a time when Ethereum gas prices dropped below 1 gwei, we added 3 decimal points to the gas tracker for improved accuracy. > πŸ†• Gas Tracker Decimal Points > > With gas prices dropping below 1 gwei recently, we've added 3 decimal points to the Gas Tracker ⛽️ for better accuracy [pic.twitter.com/ZegquyduWK](https://t.co/ZegquyduWK) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [August 15, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1824046069510242465?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 15. **Code Reader Update** When we first released the Code Reader in 2023, users needed an OpenAI API key to use it. In August, we integrated the Groq AI model as a third option, allowing anyone logged into an Etherscan account to use Code Reader for free. > πŸ†• Code Reader Update > > Added an option to use the Groq AI model when signed into your Etherscan accountβ€”no API key needed πŸ€– [pic.twitter.com/6WuBIaiFHi](https://t.co/6WuBIaiFHi) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [August 30, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1829493035492888849?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 16. **Token & Method Highlight** In addition to address highlight, which helps distinguish between genuine and poisoned addresses, we’ve also applied this functionality to tokens and methods, making it easier to differentiate between similarly named tokens with different contract addresses and methods with different IDs. > πŸ†• Token & Method Highlight > > Highlight-on-hover now applies to tokens & methods and on more pages across Etherscan > > We hope this makes it easier to spot recurring addresses/tokens/methods [pic.twitter.com/pQ9OyRck4G](https://t.co/pQ9OyRck4G) > > β€” Etherscan (@etherscan) [February 4, 2024](https://twitter.com/etherscan/status/1754123270675427508?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) 17. **Converter Tools** Our handy set of converter tools is a Swiss Army knife for data conversion, allowing you to switch between various data types directly on the explorer. > πŸ†• Converter Tools > > A set of handy converter tools πŸ”„ for you to convert between various data types right on the explorer > 1\.
