NFTScan

NFTScan is an NFT data infrastructure company that indexes NFTs across several blockchains, including Solana, and sells that data to developers through an API while offering a free public explorer. On Solana it runs a dedicated NFT explorer at solana.nftscan.com and a Solana-specific API for looking up NFT assets, collections, transaction histories and trading statistics without running an indexer yourself.

What NFTScan does

Reading NFT data directly from a blockchain is slow and awkward. An application that wants to show every NFT a wallet holds, a collection's floor price, or a token's sale history would otherwise need to parse raw transactions, track metadata and follow marketplace activity itself. NFTScan does that indexing centrally and exposes the results through a web explorer for users and REST endpoints for developers.

The company's website describes it as "the largest NFT data infrastructure" and lists several products:

• NFT Explorer, a multi-chain search and analytics front end for NFT collections, assets and wallets.
• NFT API, the developer data service.
• NFTScan Portfolio, a dashboard for tracking NFT holdings across chains.
• NFTScan Site, a back-end management tool for NFT projects and marketplaces.
• NFTScan as a Service (NaaS), infrastructure services for blockchain developers.

The Solana explorer

NFTScan launched its Solana NFT explorer on July 11, 2022, according to its launch announcement. Solana was the seventh network the explorer supported, after Ethereum, BNB Chain, Moonbeam, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism. The explorer lets anyone view the details and on-chain history of any NFT on Solana and query the NFT holdings and history of any wallet address.

The current Solana explorer groups its data into analytics and rankings, a live feed of mints and transfers, collection trading and discovery pages, and NFTFi sections. It also offers portfolio tracking, a metadata refresh tool, and a form for projects to submit collections.

The Solana API

NFTScan's documentation splits its data products into an EVM API, a Solana API and a Notify API for subscribing to NFT activity on EVM chains. The Solana API is described as a way to "get all the NFT data from the Solana blockchain."

The official JavaScript/TypeScript SDK (nftscan-api-js-sdk, installed from npm as nftscan-api) shows how the Solana API is organised. A NftscanSolana client, initialised with an API key, exposes five method groups:

• asset: query NFTs by wallet account, by collection, or by token address.
• transaction: retrieve transaction history for an account, a collection or a single NFT.
• collection: fetch collection details and search across collections.
• statistic: trading rankings and collection-level statistics.
• refresh: request an update of an NFT's metadata.

The SDK's GitHub repository was last updated in July 2026. The same SDK covers EVM networks through a separate client, with an enumerated chain list that includes Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Base, Mantle, Sei, Berachain and Mint, among others.

Pricing and usage

The developer portal prices API access in compute units (CU) rather than subscription tiers. NFTScan lists a unit price of 1 USDT per million CU with a minimum purchase of $199, and says purchased CU do not expire until used. Enterprise customers can negotiate custom arrangements.

On the same page NFTScan reports more than 7.8 billion API calls processed, over 10,000 developers and more than 1,000 integrated projects. These figures are self-reported. The homepage names Binance NFT, CoinMarketCap and imToken among the projects that use its data, and the company says its customers include wallets, NFT marketplaces, analytics platforms, decentralised identity projects, SocialFi and NFTFi apps.

Chain coverage

NFTScan's chain coverage has changed over time. A January 2023 BNB Chain spotlight listed 10 supported networks and more than 40 APIs. The company's GitHub profile now describes support for more than 20 chains. The developer portal and a September 2026 post from the official X account highlight four main API networks: Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain and Polygon. Solana is the only non-EVM chain with its own API family in the current documentation.

NFTScan's team is also involved beyond indexing. NFTScan Labs co-launched Mint Blockchain, an OP Stack layer 2 network focused on NFTs, and NFTScan is that network's official NFT data provider. This work is separate from its Solana products.

Team and background

NFTScan was founded in 2021. The legal entity is NFTSCAN LIMITED, and its website gives an address in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. According to the 2023 BNB Chain profile, the founding team is:

• ZK (founder and CEO), who previously led the technical team at ColdLar Wallet.
• Shier (co-founder and COO), who previously ran marketing for NEST Protocol.
• Frank (CTO), who previously worked in big data roles at Sensors Data, JD.com and Himalaya FM.

The same profile quoted the team as saying NFTScan "doesn't have a plan for token." We found no NFTScan token in the company's current materials.

Security

NFTScan is a read-only data service. It does not take custody of user assets or run on-chain programs that users sign into. We found no published security audits, and its business model does not appear to call for one.

Place in the Solana ecosystem

On Solana, NFTScan is one of several indexers that wallets, marketplaces and dashboards can use instead of maintaining their own NFT data pipelines. Its main selling point is cross-chain consistency. A team that needs NFT data from Solana and from EVM networks can get it from one vendor, one SDK and one prepaid CU balance. The project is still active in 2026. Its SDK receives updates and its X account continues to promote the Solana API to developers.
