  Blockscout is an open-source EVM blockchain explorer covering 1,000+ L1, L2, and L3 EVM chains.
  Each Blockscout instance exposes a REST v1 API (legacy), REST v2 API (recommended), GraphQL
  API, and an Etherscan-compatible API. The hosted Blockscout PRO API at dev.blockscout.com
  provides multi-chain access with unified routes, plans, and credit-based metering.
