🚨 Ethereum's centralization crisis: the monopoly no one is talking about

Etherscan controls smart contract verification. It’s closed-source and holds the keys to Ethereum’s most critical data as a single company.

This is a monopoly over Ethereum’s most fundamental data. And it’s not just inconvenient—it’s complete opposite of everything Ethereum stands for.

Ethereum promises decentralization, trustlessness, and open-source. But in practice a single entity controls access, and profits off its chokehold on the ecosystem.

This is a crisis. This is unacceptable. This must change.

🔴 Verification must be:
• Decentralized—No single gatekeeper. Multiple verifiers, not one.
• Open-source—Fully transparent and reproducable verifications.
• Open-data—No API keys, full unrestricted access.

The alternatives are Blockscout and Routescan.

Yes the verification is free but of course, you are providing the valuable data. 

The problem is the dataset is not open and accessible

Source code verification for Ethereum smart contracts: open-source, open-data, open-standards.
