⭐ Developed / Developing by Cosmostation

Overview

This project is sponsored by Binance X Fellowship Program. The program supports talented developers and researchers in creating free and open-source software that would enable new innovations and businesses in the crypto community.

This repository provides backend code for Mintscan Block Explorer for Binance Chain, and you can find frontend code in this repository.

Note that this repository has just transitioned from the actively developing phase to the maintaining phase starting from the first official version v1.0.0. All intended functionality is implemented; however, it can always go back when there is a reason to go back.
