    In 2015, when I first started building Etherscan as a solo founder, I would at times get "stuck" (no AI helpers back then!). One particular tricky area was the "internal txns". I remember reaching out to Peter late at night on Gitter —he was very helpful and kind.. he replied,

    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

    It was a pleasure collaborating with the team at @solscanofficial. They are not only humble and dedicated in their mission but also some of the kindest and professional folks I've worked alongside. Special thanks to @longvuong22 @hothule @anhntv2012 and my team at @etherscan 🙏
    📢 We're excited to share that Solscan has now joined Etherscan! With the addition of @solscanofficial to the team, we hope to continue executing on our vision of providing credibly neutral and equitable access to blockchain data.

    A Decade Onchain: Our Shared Journey Ten years ago we started with a simple idea: To make Onchain data open, accessible and human-readable for everyone. In those early days, it often felt like we were just charting an unknown space: medium.com/@etherscan/spa… Back then, our role

    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
    1/ 🧵 Boost VC's mission is to accelerator the #SciFi future. We accelerate technologies before it's obvious. Look at what we did over the last 9 years with #Crypto. 👇👇👇👇👇 A thread of key #crypto startups who pitched on demo day
