Etherscan is the leading BlockChain Explorer, Search, API and Analytics Platform for Ethereum, a decentralized smart contracts platform. Built and launched in 2015 it is one of the earliest and longest running independent project built around Ethereum and its community with the mission of providing equitable access to blockchain data.
Today I will introduce you to 11 useful functions of Etherscan.
- Gas Tracker

Check the real-time gas price and airdrop information.
If you’re not in a hurry, it’s perfectly fine to wait until gas prices are low before interacting.
Also you can check historical gas price in the past 7 days, which gives you a more comprehensive reference.

9. Multi-Chain Search
Besides Etherscan, the team also developed other 20 blockchain browsers. Just enter an address on this site and you can search for that address on all supported EVM chains.
In addition, there is a “b” button on the right side of the address on Etherscan, you can also click on it to go directly to other 20 browsers.
