EtherScan, a prominent block explorer providing key information on the Ethereum blockchain, completed its routine API maintenance on December 4. The maintenance took place from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM local time, during which some services were temporarily suspended. Users experienced brief disruptions in service availability and delays in block data updates. EtherScan’s API services enable developers and investors to access real-time blockchain data, including transaction details and network status. Such maintenance is essential to improve system performance and resolve potential issues, although it may temporarily delay data synchronization and cache refreshes. Given Ethereum’s position as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency and its growing usage, the availability of services like EtherScan remains critical. Following maintenance, timely data delivery was restored, though users typically faced minor system slowdowns during the brief downtime. Moving forward, the EtherScan team plans to enhance API stability with further updates to ensure uninterrupted access to blockchain information.
