Basescan
1 storyFor activity on Base, Basescan provides searchable views of transaction search, fee and gas data, and L2 transactions. Network-specific context comes from OP Stack block data, sequencer transaction status, and raw transaction decoding, rather than from generalized price or portfolio data. For Basescan, relevant changes include indexing of Base transaction search, search behavior around Base fee and gas data, and verification tools associated with Base L2 transactions. Protocol changes to Base need the network entry unless explorer behavior is affected; wallet clustering and entity attribution remain analytics topics rather than functions of Basescan.
