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

Practical examples
