New service from Web3 innovator Ankr makes app-specific blockchains more transparent and visible to the general public
While app-specific sub-blockchains (Avalanche’s subnet, Polygon Edge, Binance’s BAS, and so on) are trending in 2022, the industry badly needs ready-made analytical solutions for such products.

Chainscanner tracks transactions, blocks, validators, accounts across various application-specific sidechains on major smart contract platforms, including the likes of Avalanche (AVAX), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Polygon (MATIC) and so on.
Kev Silk, product manager for Ankr AppChains, states that this development is of crucial importance for transparency and decentralization in various distributed protocols:

Chainscanner is an important new building block for AppChains that greatly improves the user experience with tools designed to allow users to instantly search for data, stake tokens, vote on governance proposals, get development resources, apply to become a validator, and learn all about different chains. This is how we make decentralized apps as easy to use and as high performing as the centralized apps we are used to interacting with every day.
Why is Chainscanner useful for the average crypto enthusiast?
Besides an out-of-the-box explorer solution, Ankr offers AppChains-as-a-service, an end-to-end protocol that allows Web3 developers to build custom subchains on Polygon (MATIC), Avalanche (AVAX), and BNB Chain (BSC).
For developers, Chainscanner creates a technical foundation for analytics, insights, web research and so on. Even users without development experience can track transactions and account statistics.
As covered by U.Today previously, Ankr became the first major Web3 infrastructure provider to add Aptos (APT) node endpoints to its offering stack.
With Ankr’s Aptos APIs, developers can build dApps on “Solana (SOL) killer” without the need to roll out their own nodes.
