What is Optimistic Etherscan?

Optimistic Etherscan is the leading blockchain explorer for Optimism. A block explorer is a search engine that allows users to easily look up, confirm, and validate transactions that have taken place on the Optimism chain.

Optimism has a public ledger (like a decentralized database) which optimistic.etherscan.io indexes and then makes available this information through our site. Our mission is to facilitate Blockchain transparency by indexing and making searchable all transactions on Optimism in the most transparent and accessible way possible.

Optimistic Etherscan is not a wallet service provider, we do not store your private keys and we have no control over the transactions that take place in the Optimism network. As such, we are not able to provide any help in reversing/redirecting transactions or recovering lost funds.

In addition, we also provide a set of load-balanced robust API Services that can be used to either build decentralized applications or to serve as data feeds for Optimism information.
