Mintscan is a Cosmos block explorer for exchanges and everyday users. Our philosophy at Cosmostation is to deliver services that are not only stable but also developed with heavy focus on the end-user’s convenience.

Here’s an overview of the updates we have gone through with Mintscan since launch.

Since the Cosmos Hub Mainnet launch in March, Mintscan has been listed as the official block explorer for Cosmos (ATOM) at Binance, CoinGecko, Huobi Global, CoinMarketCap, Coinone Exchange, and most other services. We thank you for your support.

The past three months have been full of excitement and action for the Cosmos community. As a top-tier Cosmos validator, we have been doing our part in maintaining a stable node operation and also BUIDLing useful tools for the Tendermint ecosystem.

Before I begin introducing the upgrades we have been making to Mintscan, here is a list of services Cosmostation is currently providing for the Cosmos ecosystem.

Cosmos (ATOM) Wallets

iOS Wallet, Android Wallet, Web Wallet —we know wallets the best.

As you may have noticed, Cosmostation is the total Cosmos package — Node operation, wallet services, and block explorer. There is also an abundance of other projects we are planning down the road! Stake with us to invest in the future of Tendermint & Cosmos.

Mintscan Explorer Updates!

Cosmos #ATOM block explorer for exchanges & everyday users.

Server Infrastructure

Upgraded our server infrastructure to provide a more stable service.

This update was done before token transfers were enabled so that the explorer was ready to be connected to exchanges. Since token transfers were enabled, Mintscan has been running without a hiccup. We reached ~800 users online on the day of token transfer!

API Development

Private API for enterprises & services.

We developed Mintscan private API for services like CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap. We’ve been providing data for these services since the Cosmos Hub Mainnet launch!

As we accumulate more data, we plan to provide more insightful information to the Cosmos community and enterprises interested in the Cosmos ecosystem.

About Cosmostation

Welcome, Cosmonaut. FUEL UP on Atom at Cosmostation!

Cosmostation is a Cosmos Validator based in Seoul, South Korea. We are a team of 10 developers, engineers, and dreamers united with one objective — to provide a universe full of useful tools and solutions for Tendermint-based projects.

Unlike most blockchains, which require you to use an opinionated scripting language or environment, Tendermint makes no assumptions about the application, giving developers the utmost freedom to express their business logic using the tools right for them.

We make no assumptions about the power and potential of Tendermint-based networks can bring to the blockchain ecosystem, and we are ready to stay on the grind to do everything we can to contribute to the community.

Cosmostation’s operation philosophy is geared by and for the community. You’ve put your trust on us, and so should we. Along with high security, development of projects within the Cosmos ecosystem, and our promise to delegators, Cosmostation will constantly update and research better ways to fairly reward and protect our delegators to expand the Cosmos universe.
