    One of the 'vanity' metrics we track internally is our Alexa site ranking and after working on @etherscan diligently for last 6 years non stop, we finally made it to the top 1k. Thank you to the whole Team and to you the community & users for making this happen 🙏

    The last time we @etherscan site traffic peak to the current level was during the 2017-2018 ICO mania. Kudos 👍 to @UniswapProtocol for the successful launch of the UNI token etherscan.io/token/0x1f9840…

    Started out with @etherscan as my personal account in 2015, which then merged into our corporate "official" account. And only now got around to setting this up as my "personal account. Hello mtbitcoin :-)

    The “$2M/year” flat fee pricing claim is false. Pricing depends on actual infra & support needs. Ads only run on community explorers (e.g. etherscan.io) to offset ops costs, never on partner explorers unless explicitly agreed. Partners get full dedicated explorers plus

    I hear etherscan charges $2,000,000 a year to support a chain. And when they discover there's more work to do, they probably charge more. Because PulseChain is a fully stateful fork of Ethereum, it has 10 years of transactions to index and display. Vastly, vastly more than new

    2/ Bull runs can be extremely “exhausting” for teams and founders working in the space. I find it helpful to take a step back once in awhile and to reflect on value that was added and generated through the work done.

    Trying to accurately predict Ethereum gas fees now is like trying to predict the weather on a specific time and date 1 year ahead in the future

    One of my (with @wchuan11) most memorable experience over the last 6 years spent while building out @etherscan was the 3 month stint at @BoostVC together with their supportive team @BraytonKey @AdamDraper @maddiecallen
