LibreScan, the First Decentralized Blockchain Explorer Supported by QANplatform – Press release Bitcoin News

If decentralized means, "run their own blockchain explorer on a PC and always have secure access to their explorer without being tracked", then that includes iquidus explorer, and blockscout, and those were just quickly found with google. Both of those projects have working code and support multiple altcoins (not affiliated). "First" is a wildly incorrect claim.

Using blockscout for explorer

Any reason why we don't use https://github.com/blockscout/blockscout for the explorer instead of building our own? To me it looks like blockscout already has lots of feature that are missing in the current explorer.

BlockScout
How to see all NFT’s minted to a specific address? I expected to be able to see this on blockscout but maybe I’m looking in the wrong spot? I was hoping for a one stop shop to see NFTs of any type for a given address instead of having an app on my phone dedicated for different types.

Blockscout is the right solution. However, there is a bug and an open issue: https://github.com/blockscout/blockscout/issues/4203

blockscout team suggests the polygon upgrade to pull/3715 and that might solve the issue. I've added to my open ticket with matic support. I can also see an open ticket surround code verification for Aave linked to the same update in blockscout's github: https://github.com/blockscout/blockscout/issues/3752
