How this service works
Explore crypto activities with Blockscout's multichain search. Find transactions, addresses, tokens, and dapps across top blockchain networks — your go-to explorer for cross-chain blockchain data
Output
A paginated list of hot smart contracts on the specified chain, each including contract address hash, name, balance, total gas used, transaction count, verification status, proxy type, reputation score, scam flag, ENS domain, public/private tags, watchlist names, and implementations. Also includes next_page_params for cursor-based pagination.
Example use cases
DeFi protocol activity monitoring
“Pull up the top 10 most active smart contracts on Polygon by transaction count on a weekly scale — I want to see which DeFi protocols are trending.”
Gas usage analysis for chain research
“What are the smart contracts consuming the most gas on Arbitrum right now? Sort by total gas used on a daily scale so I can see where gas is going.”
Competitor dapp benchmarking
“List the hottest smart contracts on Base sorted by transaction count on a monthly scale — I'm trying to see which dapps are dominating the ecosystem.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.blockscout.com/%7Bchain_id%7D/api/v2/stats/hot-smart-contractsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to discover the most active or trending smart contracts on a specific blockchain by transaction volume or gas consumption. Prefer it over generic search when you want ranked, statistics-driven contract discovery rather than lookup by address or name. Ideal for DeFi research, ecosystem analysis, and identifying popular dapps across Blockscout-supported chains.
Side effects
- Missing required 'scale' query parameter returns a 400 error
- Invalid or unsupported chain_id returns a 404 or empty result
- Unsupported sort/order values may return a 400 validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Network-specific endpoints may not have hot contract stats if traffic is low
