+
+## Simple Summary
+This proposal brings standardization between block explorers API routes when linking transactions, blocks, accounts and tokens. 
+
+## Abstract
+Currently wallets will link transactions and accounts to block explorers web pages but as chain diversity and layer two solutions grow it becomes harder to maintain a consistent user experience. Standardizing the API routes to these links improves interoperability between wallets and block explorers.
+
+## Motivation
+Adding new chains or layer two solutions becomes harder given these endpoints are inconsistent. This EIP makes RPC endpoints like EIP-2015 and EIP-2016 more feasible.
+
+## Specification
+Block explorers will route their webpages accordingly for the following data:
+
+### Blocks
+<BLOCK_EXPORER_URL>/block/<BLOCK_HASH_OR_HEIGHT>
+
+
+### Transactions
+<BLOCK_EXPORER_URL>/tx/<TX_HASH>
+
+### Accounts
+<BLOCK_EXPORER_URL>/address/<ACCOUNT_ADDRESS>
+
+
+### ERC-20 Tokens
+<BLOCK_EXPORER_URL>/token/<TOKEN_ADDRESS>
