The last month saw Etherscan contribute some steps forward for Ethereum scalability. We had not one, not two, but three different Ethereum-aligned explorers announced. First Optimism shared our new explorer for them, then Arbitrum announced our explorer coming for them by the end of July, and finally Polygon unveiled our latest explorer!
The explorers aren't the only things that's new from Etherscan. We made UI/UX changes on the explorer, adding ENS Name Tags and making NFT transactions more readable.
Following the theme of exploring parallel layers and chains, in this newsletter issue we take a look at data revolving around bridges to other chains in Ethereum. We also quiz you on bridges - answer it and stand to win $10 in ETH! |

Questions received last month: |
Why are there typos in the Method field such as Unoswap?
The Method field uses the function name taken directly from the contract. Etherscan doesn't make any changes to contract function names. |
How do I find my way to the Etherscan Gas Tracker page?
Click on the fuel icon next to the ETH price at the top right of any page, or on MED GAS PRICE at the center of the home page. |
