According to Wu Blockchain, rotki founder Lefteris Karapetsas revealed that the well-known blockchain explorer Etherscan recently removed free API access for Base, Optimism, and BNB Chain during Devconnect ARG. Etherscan stated that the free API service is still operational, with chain ID coverage remaining at 90%, supported by most foundations; the decision to reduce chain coverage by 10% was due to insufficient funding from those ecosystems. Lefteris Karapetsas mentioned that chains like Base, Optimism, and BNB Chain, which were removed, are fully capable of covering the costs for providing such essential services. He called for collaboration and emphasized that Etherscan should not bear the costs alone. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=52324
