Introducing ICE, the Avascan 1-Click Explorer that allows easy access to every subnet. This groundbreaking idea represents the start of a new era in multi-chain blockchain exploration and is a significant advancement in offering users a smooth and effective method for navigating the constantly changing landscape of app-chains and next-generation blockchain networks.

The goal of Avascan has always been to provide users access to a single platform from which they can see everything that is occurring on the Avalanche network. With the launch of ICE, they’re one step closer to realizing that goal and ushering in a new era of multi-chain explorers who can easily adjust to the rapidly evolving state of blockchain technology.

ICE is capable of supporting a variety of use cases, from DeFi-oriented explorers to NFT-focused and GameFi app-chains explorers, thanks to our powerful indexer and a selection of customized front-ends.

Ava Labs has been using ICE to index new subnets quickly and efficiently, taking just a few hours to fully index them. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to index any blockchain, making it the ideal companion for Core, Ava Labs’ wallet that now supports Bitcoin and serves as the hub for Avalanche-native users.

Avalanche is introducing ICE-made explorers with Core to boost visibility for their ecosystem and other platforms. ICE is a Made in Avalanche technology, and is an example of how it can foster innovation that benefits other ecosystems. It is a great example of how Avalanche can benefit other ecosystems.

Avascan Partners With Staking Rewards. Staking Rewards uses the Avascan API to get reliable access to Avalanche network data. As part of our ongoing partnership, Avascan will start showcasing Staking Rewards Verified Providers on their staking page to help increase trust and transparency in the staking industry and to help investors make more confident decisions when choosing between thousands of staking Providers.

How will the Verified Provider Program help AVAX Stakers?

The Verified Provider Program (VPP) is an initiative to increase trust, transparency, and reliability in the staking industry by verifying that Providers meet a set of criteria relating to risk management, longevity, and security measures. Historically, the challenge of choosing a staking provider has been two-fold:

1. It is difficult to determine which providers will be trustworthy in the future
2. In most cases, it’s not transparent whether or not a given company follows industry best practices. It was also not possible for ordinary users to figure out if these companies were legitimate or not.

Currently there are over 1200 validators to choose from on Avalanche, where do stakers begin when choosing a validator? The VPP checkmark will help AVAX stakers to make confident decisions when doing their due diligence on Staking Providers. Staking Rewards only verifies Providers that meet the strict requirements of the program and are considered sufficiently trustworthy by Staking Rewards to provide reliable, secure staking services.

What Checks does Staking Rewards do?

Due diligence is conducted on the following areas of the Provider’s operations:

• Reliability
• Security
• Accountability
• Liability

Other areas of consideration include decentralisation Ethos, Value Added Services, Customer Service, and Governance Participation. These count toward a separate “Value-Added Score” but are not required for verification.

There is a 75% pass rate for validators to become verified. Read more about the details of the checks in the documentation here. You can also view the verification questionnaire here.

How can I find Verified Providers on Avascan?

Avascan tracks more than 1200 validators on their staking page, you can monitor various validator metrics like:

• Total Stake
• Delegations
• Fee
• Staking yield
• Self bonded AVAX

But what does this mean for a staker when you don’t know what their setup looks like? The VPP does the due diligence on your behalf, validators that pass the program can be identified with the VPP Official checkmark:
