The news that
@etherscan removed the free tier APIs was no surprise to us.
We have been building for more than a year to mitigate that risk, alongside
@verifalliance and
@enscribe_.
We respect the incredible foundation Etherscan built. But we believe that vital infrastructure, specifically labeling and verification, must be collaborative to be sustainable.
Instead of siloed data, we are building a proliferation engine:
Standardized labeling schemas using EAS.
Open-sourced label pools, stored in IPFS.
Transitive trust mechanisms for scoring data quality.
Teams like
@SourcifyEth and
@growthepie_eth have been the biggest contributors to the label pool with around 1.2 million unique submissions.
And it is just beginning to proliferate,
@blockscout is already integrating OLI,
@routescan_io is merging IPs, and many others are starting to contribute and share their thoughts about how to move forward.
We have also provided Python and Typescript packages for seamless integration, and recently exposed API's for integrated reads.
Think about it:
Human-readable names instead of OxContract.
Instant risk mitigation for scams.
Label source scoring, verified contract owners, projects behind addresses, verified status, and anything you can imagine;
All standardized and unified for everyone who has adopted OLI.
We are moving from centralized reliance to decentralized resilience. It's getting exciting. Come build with us.
