Base and Binance Ditch Free Indexers, Hit Casual Users

Two major blockchain networks, Base and Binance, have stopped offering free indexers, making it difficult for casual users to access their transaction history.

Lefteris Karapetsas notes that this change requires users to obtain a paid API key, which may deter those with low usage from choosing these networks.

Karapetsas has previously raised concerns about user experience issues and has focused on practical concerns for everyday crypto users in his commentary.
