Strategic Focus Areas

In 2024 and the first half of 2025 we were focused on growing our user base and clientele. We are now the #1 block explorer in terms of EVM reach, and are shifting focus to reduce costs and increase recurring revenue.

Reduce Infrastructure Costs

  • Cloud infrastructure optimization across multiple providers
  • Data center location exploration to reduce bare metal costs
  • Optimizing cloud/bare-metal balance for cost efficiency
  • Database optimizations targeting 30% reduction in storage needs

Increase Revenue Generation

  • Premium API launch with immediate $100K/month revenue based on current usage. We will launch this service in 1-2 months.
  • Institutional data packages focusing on compliance & stablecoin analytics. In development.
  • Full-featured wallet integration. In active exploration.
  • Advanced data analytics services for supported chains. In research.

Maintain and Expand Pipeline

  • Our client base continues to grow month over month with very little attrition
  • We have signed agreements with several large new clients and will begin dev shortly (not announced yet or under NDA)
  • We are in discussions with additional RaaS providers and ecosystems to bring on more L2s and L3s
