Etherscan launches ChatGPT plugin and Claude connector for querying onchain data via AI assistants.
AI & Agents ·
Etherscan has introduced a ChatGPT plugin and Claude connector that allow users to query onchain data through AI assistants. The integrations enable natural-language access to blockchain transaction history, wallet balances, smart contract interactions, and protocol metrics without requiring direct interaction with the block explorer interface.
Onchain data—transactions, wallet activity, and protocol metrics recorded on public blockchains—has become foundational infrastructure across decentralized finance, institutional adoption, and tokenized asset systems. Unlike centralized exchanges where trades remain private until aggregated reports are published, blockchain transactions are immutable and publicly auditable within seconds, visible to anyone with access to a node or explorer. This transparency has driven demand for tools that make the data more accessible and actionable.
The move reflects broader adoption of AI agents and data infrastructure in crypto and finance. The specific capabilities of each integration—what queries the ChatGPT plugin versus the Claude connector can execute, which blockchain networks are supported, and whether there are usage limits—remain unclear from available details.
