GIP-71: Should GnosisDAO support hosted Blockscout explorer for Chiado testnet? 🟢 Passed Quorum on Nov 16, 2022

Chiado testnet is an important new part of the Gnosis ecosystem as a developer testnet. A reliable explorer is required for developers to be productive on Gnosis. A Blockscout instance should be set up as soon as possible to support Chiado now and into the future.
