IceCreamSwap Introduces a New Block Explorer and RPC Endpoint for the XDC Blockchain

Introduction

IceCreamSwap, a multi-chain DeFi ecosystem supporting XDC, has recently launched a new block explorer (https://xdcscan.net) and a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service (https://rpc-xdc.icecreamswap.com) for the XDC Blockchain. This development is aimed at providing users and projects with a more reliable and seamless experience while interacting with the XDC network. Notably, these services use 0x Ethereum address prefixes instead of the xdc address prefixes, making it easier for users to migrate from other blockchains to the XDC ecosystem. Additionally, the introduction of these services contributes to the decentralization of the XDC chain by adding multiple providers for block explorer and RPC services.

High Reliability Server Infrastructure

The new block explorer and RPC endpoint boast a high reliability server infrastructure. This guarantees users and projects a stable and dependable experience when interacting with the XDC Blockchain. By providing consistent uptime and fast response times, IceCreamSwap ensures that users can access critical information and services without unnecessary delays or interruptions.

Easing Migration with 0x Ethereum Address Prefixes

One of the key features of the new IceCreamSwap block explorer and RPC endpoint is the use of 0x Ethereum address prefixes instead of the conventional xdc address prefixes. This crucial change enables users and projects to easily migrate from other blockchains to the XDC network without facing issues related to different address prefixes. The adoption of Ethereum's widely-used 0x address prefix format simplifies the transition process and allows users to effortlessly interact with the XDC Blockchain.

Promoting Decentralization and Community Control

The addition of IceCreamSwap's block explorer and RPC endpoint to the XDC ecosystem contributes to the decentralization of the network. By offering alternative providers for these critical services, IceCreamSwap empowers the community to have more control over the infrastructure that supports the XDC chain. This development promotes a healthier, more resilient network by reducing the reliance on any single provider and encouraging competition among service providers.

Conclusion

IceCreamSwap's new block explorer and RPC endpoint for the XDC Blockchain offer a reliable and user-friendly experience while reinforcing the decentralized nature of the network. The adoption of 0x Ethereum address prefixes simplifies the migration process for users and projects, making it easier than ever to join the XDC ecosystem. IceCreamSwap's commitment to supporting the growth and development of the XDC community is evident in its efforts to provide accessible, reliable, and decentralized services that cater to the diverse needs of the network's users.

Hi guys. I noticed that the xdcscan.net webpage has a message at the top that says "indexing the chain is up to 34%". It appears to have been stuck at 34% for at least a week. Is there an issue with the site? Thanks
