According to the announcement, Bscscan, an explorer for the BNB Smart Chain, and the Solscan ecosystem are now officially a part of Etherscan’s portfolio.

Users may expect a smooth and enhanced exploration of the Solana blockchain thanks to the integration of interactive charts, which provide a layer of personalization.

Flash Selloff

Solana (SOL) was the target of numerous positive forecasts after its stellar performance in 2023.

However, amid the bullish momentum, the price faced a sudden downturn and witnessed flash selloff. The price dropped all the way till $93.2 and has recovered briefly.
