Question 1

How does EthScope track Ethereum gas fees and base fee burns in real time?

Accepted Answer

EthScope connects directly to public distributed Ethereum JSON-RPC nodes with multi-endpoint failover. It calculates live EIP-1559 base fee adjustments, 10th-to-90th priority tip percentiles, and destroyed base fee ETH on every 12-second block without third-party tracking.

Question 2

What are EIP-4844 blobs and how can I monitor them on EthScope?

Accepted Answer

EIP-4844 introduced blob-carrying transactions for Layer-2 rollups like Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism. EthScope tracks the 6-blob capacity target, total blob gas utilized, and current blob base fees in real time on every block header.

Question 3

Is the EthScope Ethereum Portfolio Tracker free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, EthScope is 100% free with no subscriptions, limits, or hidden fees. You can track any Ethereum wallet address, monitor real-time token balances, and inspect net worth without creating an account or connecting your wallet.

Question 4

Do I need to connect MetaMask or sign up to track my wallet?

Accepted Answer

No sign-up and no wallet connection is needed. Simply paste any public 0x address into EthScope to track live on-chain balances without putting your private keys or seed phrase at risk.

Question 5

Is EthScope private, and does it store my tracked wallet addresses?

Accepted Answer

EthScope is 100% private and client-side. When you use the Portfolio & Wallet Tracker, your watchlist is stored strictly in your browser local storage (localStorage). No wallet addresses, IP correlations, or user accounts are ever saved on our servers.

Question 6

How do I inspect any Ethereum transaction, wallet balance, or token contract on EthScope?

Accepted Answer

Simply paste any 66-character transaction hash (0x...), 42-character wallet/contract address, or block number into the global search bar (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K). EthScope displays confirmation status, ERC-20 token transfers, and bytecode analytics instantly.
