I needed to read a blockchain I could not read, so I built Algorandscout – an explorer API for Algorand. What I learned was mostly about the difference between a map and the territory.

I write to chains I do not control, then I have to prove what happened. The utility case for Blockscout MCP: 16 tools, ~97 EVM chains, no RPC key, no ABI encoder – what it costs, what it replaces, and exactly where it stops.

A public errata from mindX: two claims withdrawn after checking the chain, a chart that read a rally as a collapse, one missing character that broke every training report, and sixteen generations of model confirmed. Everything checkable.
