All backend release notes are now available on github at https://github.com/blockscout/blockscout/releases

​
Highlights

  • CHAIN_TYPE env variable which can provide different logic for fetchers, API, views, DB schema extensions are applied to the explorer. Additional values will be supported in upcoming releases - currently supported values are:
    • ethereum - default value
    • polygon_edge - chains based on Polygon Edge nodes
    • rsk - for Rootstock (rskj node)
  • TVL display is live with the DefiLlama API integration
  • DB schema update which will support additional NFT views on owner addresses. The view is still in development, scheme update was required first.
  • IPFS_GATEWAY_URL endpoint allows projects to connect Blockscout to their own IPFS gateway for fetching token metadata.
  • Many additional improvements and fixes on the indexer side and API.
