Planning guide

Select and customise an explorer

Compare Brand, Pro and Enterprise without paying twice for an explorer already included in a chain.

Who this guide is for

Networks needing a branded, hosted Blockscout experience for users and developers.

Scope and trade-offs

  • Branded principal explorer pages and network information
  • Transaction, address, token and contract-verification views
  • Standard analytics and domain integration
  • Blockscout hosting, commercial licence and agreed customisation included

Prerequisites

  • Public RPC and chain metadata
  • Approved logo, colours, domain and legal notices

Configuration and pricing

  • Brand assets and domain configuration
  • Upgrade to Pro or Enterprise by paying only the tier difference when included in a chain

Common mistakes

Explorer Brand provides one hosted explorer for the network recorded in the order. Additional capacity and custom integrations are available only as separately priced options.

Operational implications

Managed support for Explorer Brand covers the hosted explorer, its agreed customisation and the approved operating profile. New pages, integrations or capacity outside that profile are assessed and priced separately.

Recommended next step

  • Configured hosted explorer and domain integration
  • Brand implementation, verification workflow and handover
