Mintscan 2.0

Mintscan2.0 is preparing for departure this year with brand new on-chain data analytics and display to become the next generation data infrastructure service provider. It is no secret that Mintscan has been continuously building and releasing new features for the users. But this time, it will not be just an update; it will change the entire landscape of on-chain data analytics service.

In this article are a preview of the new Mintscan and an update on our roadmap, including a plan for Mintscan API service.

What’s New

Mintscan 2.0 will converge the current Mintscan and Mintscan Hub with many upgrades. Think of it as rebuilding every aspect of Mintscan with the visual analytics engine of Mintscan Hub.

Enhanced On-Chain Analytics with Visuals

Diverse and active governance is one of the alphas in Cosmos. Let’s see how Mintscan 2.0 will support the dPoS governance scene of Cosmos with the brand new visualization of the on-chain governance data as an example of Mintscan 2.0 upgrade.

Validator camps on Cosmos prop #101

The above is a visual representation of validator camps on Cosmos proposal #101. It passed with a breathtaking voting result of 52% ‘yes’ and 48% ‘no’. With this new validator camp map on Mintscan2.0, we will be able to see which validator is standing on which side at a glance on every proposal.

Voting trends on Cosmos prop #155

This is a voting trends over time chart on Cosmos prop #155. Although its voting result was not as close as the prop #101, the chart is showing us how the ‘yes’ camp overtook the ‘no’ camp with a few big hikes. Also, the size of the ‘abstain’ vote is bigger than that of ‘yes’, ‘no’, and ‘veto’ combined.

Mintscan 2.0 is turning many previously unorganized text based data into tightly indexed visual representations to help delegators make better informed decisions and utilize past data when voting for governance proposals.

Total Asset Management Solution

Mintscan 2.0 will offer the interchain asset management solution that helps users organize portfolios, strategies, tax reporting, insights, and customer service. Once the users connect their wallets to Mintscan 2.0, everything will be automatically sorted out with just a few clicks. Here are some key points of Mintscan’s asset management solution.

Users will be able to connect their personal wallets to Mintscan and benefit from the plethora of features that will be provided on the new Mintscan Hub website.

  • Tax reporting: Mintscan will help users streamline their tax reporting by providing the necessary transaction records and generating tax documents.
  • Portfolio management: Mintscan will allow users to track and manage their crypto investments in non-custodial wallets, providing an overview of their portfolio performance, asset allocation, and transaction history.
  • Trading and execution: Mintscan will offer integrated trading capabilities, allowing users to execute trades across multiple dexes with the goal of obtaining the best prices and minimizing slippage.
  • Automated strategies: Mintscan will introduce automated interchain trading strategies, such as vaults, dollar-cost averaging, and algorithmic trading, helping users optimize their portfolios and potentially generate better returns.
  • Customer support: Mintscan will offer dedicated customer support, helping users with any technical issues, questions, or concerns related to the service.

What It All Comes Down to…

When Mintscan releases the brand new version Mintscan with enhanced data indexing, wallet integration, and an asset management solution. It’s going to help:

  • Delegators make informed validator choices from in-depth validator details and scores available.
  • Protocol teams and developers see trends in blocks, transactions, and accounts
  • Validators check the contexts of on-chain governance proposals through visual representations
  • Traders get tax reporting support
  • All users make native staking, voting, trading transactions

Mintscan’s Roadmap

Mintscan’s roadmap encompasses two key aspects that will shape the future of our platform — API service and active community interactions. We’re preparing for a robust API service, enabling developers and projects to seamlessly integrate Mintscan’s vast on-chain data into their own applications. Furthermore, we’re committed to fostering an active and engaging community of users, developers, and foundation teams. Through open communication channels, interactive forums, and beta tests, we aim to create an ecosystem where ideas flow, feedback is valued, and Mintscan becomes the go-to platform for the interchain.

API Service

  • API for third party developers
  • Indexed interchain data for protocol specialists
  • On-chain data for funds and institutions

The Mintscan API has been kept private to avoid overloading it. However, the team is actively researching and developing a sustainable approach to providing access to the API for both blockchain and non-blockchain projects.

This year, the Mintscan API will be available as a service for developers, protocols, institutions, and users. Mintscan is implementing a powerful search engine that will transform how data is indexed and retrieved from database servers. The new search engine is expected to fetch data much faster than the current model and offer extensive customization opportunities for Mintscan API users.

Active Community Interactions

  • Beta test
  • Community chat space
  • Feedback submissions

For Mintscan, providing API service is more than just a service. It is a signaling change of Mintscan’s mode: from private to public. As a public good, Mintscan feels entitled to know what the community wants. The first step will be to start asking for feedbacks from all members of the community and reflecting the voices in the product. Soon, there will be a closed beta testing phase, followed by a 24/7 service feedback window open. Stay tuned for for updates!
