Blockscout is an open-source blockchain explorer designed for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-based networks. It provides users with a comprehensive interface to search transactions, view account balances, verify and interact with smart contracts, and engage with decentralized applications across various Ethereum networks, including mainnets, testnets, sidechains, and Layer 2 solutions. Unlike centralized, closed-source explorers, Blockscout offers transparency and flexibility, supporting hundreds of chains and rollups within the broader blockchain ecosystem, such as Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot, Avalanche, and Near.
Unlooped differentiates itself in the digital music and NFT space by enabling artists to mint new song variations as NFTs directly to their wallets on the Base network. This platform offers artists the ability to deploy their smart contracts for collections, ensuring full control and management. Unlooped also incorporates on-chain storage for its graph and decentralized storage for samples, enhancing security and ensuring music permanence. Unlooped emphasizes artist ownership and creative freedom. It is a self-bootstrapped project, not having received external funding or participated in previous funding rounds.
Ironclad Finance sets itself apart as a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity market protocol, allowing users to engage as either depositors, who earn passive income by providing liquidity, or borrowers, who can borrow in either an overcollateralized or undercollateralized manner. While Ironclad has not yet issued its own token, it has introduced a points system, named Embers, to reward users for borrowing and lending, hinting at a future token introduction.
Public Nouns DAO supports public goods by auctioning one NFT every 12 hours, generating a continuous stream of ETH for its treasury. This funding mechanism ensures a steady flow of resources, which are allocated to various projects through a transparent governance process. Community members discuss proposals on Discord, refine them on the forum, and vote on viable ideas on-chain, with each NFT representing one vote. Initial funding was bootstraped through these auctions, leveraging community decision-making to align projects with the DAO's mission of promoting public goods.
