 <p class="paragraph">Commenting on the sale, Etherscan CEO and founder Matthew Tan explained that the key arguments for the decision were the Solscan team’s skills in offering comprehensive <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="block" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/block.html">block</a>chain data and making it simpler for the less technologically savvy users:</p>
