How much would it hurt Ethereum if Etherscan lost all smart contract ABI's tomorrow?

I like building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

Some but Eth is so distributed at this point that others would quickly hit up the slack as an opportunity.

I think the bigger problem would be going backwards though. We would effectively lose most decoded transaction data, no?

I’m not the only one with a database of every ABI on etherscan

My guess is other block explorers would try to swoop in, maybe historical decoded txs need to be paid for. Would be a big hit to the ecosystem tho for sure.
