25 Etherscan Features in 2025

The multichain ecosystem grew stronger and more interconnected in 2025, with developer workflows and user experiences increasingly spanning multiple networks. Amid this expansion, focus also shifted back toward Ethereum L1. The Ethereum Foundation placed renewed emphasis on L1 scaling, blobs, and user experience, accelerating the upgrade cadence with both Pectra and Fusaka landing in the same year.

Against this backdrop, Team Etherscan focused on expanding explorer infrastructure, improving platform access for developers, users, and partners, and making onchain activity easier to understand across chains and protocol upgrades. Many of these improvements were built to work consistently across the explorers we support, while continuing to evolve alongside Ethereum itself.

Here’s a recap of the 25 features Team Etherscan launched in 2025.

1. Explorer as a Service (EaaS) 🔍

As the ecosystem expanded, so did the need for reliable explorer infrastructure across new networks.

In 2025, explorer support expanded beyond L2s into a broader range of emerging L1 designs. Through Explorer as a Service, we worked with networks experimenting across execution environments, consensus models, and application focus.

Supported L2s included Abstract, Unichain, Swell, and Katana.

Supported L1s included Berachain, MemeCore, HyperEVM, Fogo, Sei, Monad, Stable, and Plasma.

2. APIs: New endpoints, Lite plan, and Chain Updates 🎯

Two new API endpoints were introduced in 2025: Address Nametags and Get Top Token Holders.

In November, we introduced the Lite API plan, a lower-cost option offering full chain coverage across all Etherscan-supported chains, with a higher rate limit than the free tier.

Throughout the year, supported chain IDs were updated as EaaS partners come and went. You can subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed and prepare in advance to avoid disruptions to your applications.

3. Cards 🗃️

Alongside infrastructure and APIs, we continued expanding the types of insights available directly on address pages.

After introducing Cards in 2024, we added 9 new Cards in 2025. These include zScore - Reputation Score, Wallet AML Risk Score, Chainabuse Scam Reports, EVM Decompiler, Security State, Eligible Opportunities, Credit Score, Builder Score, and SolidityScan.

Cards can be filtered, and are supported across 30+ Etherscan explorers.

4. Cross-Chain Transactions 🔀

As users increasingly interact across chains, visibility into cross-chain activity became more important.

Cross-chain transactions are now surfaced directly on address pages under the Other Transactions tab.

For a broader view, the Blockscan multichain explorer shows recent cross-chain activity across supported bridges at blockscan.com/cross-chain. Do let us know which other bridges you'd like us to support next!

These cross-chain transactions may also include direct links to the corresponding bridging action, making it easier to trace both sides of a transfer.

5. Multichain Transaction Search ⛓️

To complement cross-chain visibility, we also improved how transactions are discovered across networks.

You can now search for transactions from any chain directly on Etherscan. If a transaction belongs to another network, you’ll see a preview and a direct link to the correct explorer. This feature is also available across 30+ Etherscan-supported explorers.

6. Blockscan Group 🗂️

For users tracking portfolio performance across multiple addresses and chains, Blockscan Group provide a consolidated view.

Group multiple addresses together to monitor total portfolio net worth across 30+ supported chains. This is useful for tracking personal wallets or addresses associated with a specific entity.

7. EIP-7702 Authorizations 🤝

Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade in May introduced a smart account wallet UX feature that lets you attach smart contract capabilities to a regular Ethereum wallet via EIP-7702 Authorizations.

You can view your EIP-7702 authorization history under the Other Transactions tab. Example.

Your currently delegated address appears as a label at the top of the address page, with status indicators to show whether the delegated contract is safe or suspicious.

8. Blobs on the Blocks page 🐡

The Pectra upgrade also increased blob capacity to a target of 6 and max of 9, to which we added a blob count column to the Blocks page.

This helped developers and researchers monitor blob demand and utilization per block ahead of further capacity increases in Fusaka.

9. Hoodi Testnet Explorer 🚉

In March, we added support for the Hoodi testnet, launched by the Ethereum Foundation following issues encountered during Pectra testing on Holesky. Hoodi is now the recommended testnet for validator and infrastructure testing.

Explorer: hoodi.etherscan.io

10. Etherscan Points 💎

As part of our 10th anniversary celebration, shortly after Ethereum marked its own 10 year milestone, we introduced Etherscan Points through a limited time community campaign.

Users earned points by completing tasks and redeemed them for rewards such as API Pro access, exclusive access to Ask Etherscan, and a vanity OG badge displayed across the explorer.

11. Internal Transaction Decoder 🔓

We’ve added decoding for internal transactions, converting raw hex input into human-readable data with function names, method IDs, types, and values.

12. Decoded Tuples in Event Logs 🗄️

Event log data tuples are expanded and broken down into individual fields, making audits and log inspection faster and easier for analysts and developers.

13. Cross-Chain Similar Match Contract Verification 🔄

For developers deploying across chains, contract verification is now easier.

If a contract’s source code is already verified on one of 30+ Etherscan-supported explorers, you can instantly verify it without going through the manual verification process.

14. AI-Optimized API Documentation 📜

Our refreshed API documentation includes an interactive playground that lets you test endpoints from 60+ chain IDs directly in the docs using your own API key.

The docs also include built-in AI assistance to help navigate the API, along with MCP server support so AI tools can reference the documentation on the fly.

15. Transaction Link Previews 🔗

Sharing transaction links now provides more context.

When a transaction URL from any of our 30+ supported explorers is shared on platforms like X, Discord, Slack, Telegram, or WhatsApp, the link preview shows a summary of the transaction’s key actions.

16. AI-Powered Transaction Action (Experimental) ✨

We introduced an experimental AI-generated transaction summary for cases without curated transaction actions. These summaries are provided for convenience and should be independently verified.

17. Token Flow Visualizer ↔️

We added this tool to every ERC-20 token page, letting you see transfers between top holders. This is especially useful for newly deployed tokens, where you can spot holder clusters and transfer patterns early.

You can further refine the view by adjusting categories, time range, and holder count.

18. Analytics Tab 📈

The Analytics tab provides deeper activity insights for addresses and tokens. It shows a GitHub-style transaction heatmap alongside metrics such as total transactions, active age, unique active days, and longest streak.

For addresses, you can see the top neighbors and dApps it has interacted with.

For tokens, it shows total supply and historical price charts, as well as holder-level transfer activity.

19. Assets Tab 💰

An address's token holdings and multichain portfolio are grouped into a single Assets tab. This includes a portfolio percentage breakdown for quick balance assessment.

20. Inline Private Name Tags 🏷️

When analyzing complex transactions or addresses, it’s common to run into long lists of unfamiliar addresses across transaction histories, token transfers, or internal transactions.

Previously, you had to open each address in a new tab to add a private name tag. Advanced Mode now lets you tag addresses inline without leaving the page.

21. Project and Action Filter Presets ⚡

Team Etherscan has curated a set of preset filters by project, such as 0x, 1inch, and Aave, and by action, including Bridge, Deploy, and Supply. These presets make it easier to filter related transactions when you’re not sure where to start.

We’ll continue adding to the curated list over time.

22. Address Page Filters 🎛️

This feature lets you apply quick filters while browsing an address page. For more complex queries, the Advanced Filter is still available.

23. Overview stats 📊

Key Ethereum metrics are consolidated into a single interactive view, making it easy to check network health at a glance, including recent transaction counts, active addresses, and deployed contracts.

24. IDM Images 🖼️

For transactions with input data containing Base64-encoded images, you can view the image directly on the explorer.

These images are generated from onchain data and are not reviewed by Etherscan. They may contain sensitive, offensive, or copyrighted material, and viewing them is at your own discretion.

25. Flippyscan 🎮

Occasionally, you may land on a page that doesn’t exist on Etherscan. When that happens, you can play our Flappy Bird inspired mini-game while you decide where to go next.

Score high and share it on X to challenge others to beat your score.

Ethereum and the broader multichain ecosystem continued to evolve rapidly in 2025, and Etherscan evolved alongside it. Our focus stayed on clarity, coverage, and practical tooling for the users, developers, and teams navigating an increasingly interconnected onchain world.

As we head into 2026, we’ll keep refining the explorer experience to support how the ecosystem actually works today. If there are features you’d like to see improved or added, we’d love to hear your feedback.
