SnowTrace, a popular blockchain explorer tool for Avalanche (AVAX), has announced that its Etherscan-powered website will be shut down on November 30.

SnowTrace users are urged to store their backup data, including private name tags and contact verification information, before the shutdown. The cause for the explorer's closure was not stated officially, however some think that it may have been due to service fees related with Etherscan's Explorer-as-a-Service (EaaS) toolkit.

Phillip Liu Jr., head of strategy and operations at Ava Labs, clarified that the protocol is not ceasing operations and is "moving onto something better."

Etherscan's EaaS service offers block explorers and API solutions for a fee, and discontinuation can occur due to non-renewal of the service agreement or other technical limitations.
