What is Solscan?
Solscan is a block explorer and data API for Solana, acquired by Etherscan in January 2024. The Pro API is billed in compute units: Lite costs $49 a month for 20 million CU, and Level 4 costs $1,099 for 1.5 billion CU.
How Solscan works
Solscan indexes Solana into account, transaction, token and program pages.
Address labels follow a priority order: SNS domain name first, then project name, exchange name, an exploiter or hacker tag, and last Solscan's quantitative labels, which rank wallets by on-chain behavior. For example, Legendary NFT Trader marks the top 0.1% of wallets by NFT transactions across marketplaces. Anchor-verified programs and parsed instructions make program calls readable.
The Pro API v2 serves the same data pipeline as datasets for accounts, tokens, NFTs, transactions, DeFi activities and market data. Account endpoints include transfers with filters by type, token and counterparty, token accounts and DeFi activities; token endpoints include transfers, markets, a token list sortable by creation date and trending tokens. Usage is metered in compute units, and a hosted MCP server exposes the same data to AI agents.
How to start with Solscan
- Browsing is free.
- With a Solscan account you can save personal labels, keep a watchlist, use the notification bot and export CSV reports from the Transfers and Token or Holders tabs after a CAPTCHA; exports only include data from July 7, 2021 onward.
- For the API, pick a plan under Resources, API Plans, pay through Stripe, then open Profile, API Management, generate a key and send it in the token header.
- Paying in crypto requires emailing support and a six-month minimum.
Solscan fees and limits
- Pro API plans: Lite $49 a month for 20 million compute units at 1,000 requests per 60 seconds; Level 2 $199 for 150 million CU at 1,000; Level 3 $399 for 500 million CU at 2,000; Level 4 $1,099 for 1.5 billion CU at 3,000; Enterprise by quote.
Lite excludes account/metadata, account/funded_by, the funding-out function in account/transfer, market/price-ohlcv and all multi endpoints. Purchases are non-refundable, and top-up CUs do not roll over between billing cycles.
Risks to know before using Solscan
- Solscan holds no funds; account features store labels and watchlists, not keys.
- The practical risks are data coverage and money.
- Exports stop at July 7, 2021, so older history needs another source, and API plans cannot be refunded once bought.
- Labels such as Exploiter/Hacker and the quantitative wallet tiers are Solscan's own classifications built from on-chain behavior, so treat them as hints rather than proof of who controls an address.
