Etherscan is a Block Explorer and Analytics Platform for Ethereum, a decentralized smart contracts platform. And it is founded by Matthew Tan.
Exactly. There is no official owner of this platform. We have several analytical pages available on the market.

Yes, this is an official website, but you do not need to enter the key from your wallet. It is very dangerous!

Although, etherscan is ethereum based, it does not depict that it is owned by ethereum, or better still Vitalik. Instead, it was developed by some blockchain experts, who found the need for it.

I like your topic, it gave me some research to do and I found out both are owned by two different people.
Matthew Tan owns Etherscan.
Vitalik Buterin owns Ethereum.

Etherscan = Matthew Tan
Ethereum = Vitalik Buterin
There you go OP, the owner of  each institution.

And just like you, we are "users" of the Ethereum Blockchain. Etherscan is not funded, operated or managed by the Ethereum Foundation but instead exists as an independent entity.

I can be sure that Etherscan is not a product of Ethereum, it's a tool to check e-wallets, where ETH stores as well as the entire Token ERC-20. Many mistakenly think Etherscan is the tool of Ethereum to help people look up e-wallet address as well as transaction history. Etherscan is a project based on the Ethereum platform only.

Etherscan is just like many other ethereum blockchain explorer owned by separate individuals and there is no any direct/indirect involvement of ethereum foundation in it.

Even myetherwallet is not owned by Ethereum foundation if you are also curious about it.

This question was asked in a telegram group and non was able to answer it appropriately. So I decided to post it here for an answer in case anyone has idea. Is Etherscan owned by Ethereum
I don't think so because it will view address' which is not generated by Myetherwallet.

As much as their website describes it is not owned bt ethereum. They have just named it like that to fool people like bcash did to bitcoin.

It seems etherscan and ethereum are interconnected so i think no one has it. Because the use of etherscan can track all transactions made by the user in the form of tokens and not only ethereum.
I will take this answer as the truth since a different company can't perform a function that is closely linked to each other as we see with etherscan and ethereum. I assume they might try to operate covertly to avoid public suspicious.

No it does not belong to one another. But if there are still some doubt, in order to remove the cloud of doubt, the best option would be to look it up at the internet for further clarification. And the other option is to look at the different forums as well.

No, I don't have so. Etherscan has no connection with ethereum. Most probably, this is some kind of search engine in the cryptocurrency platform.

I cannot say for sure but maybe it is just the name dropping collect bitcoin cash, ethereum classic. So there is two options or other scan is owned by Ethereum, or it's named itself the way it would be more recognisable.

Ethereum is a coin, thus it canot own anything. Ethereum is, at least in theory, decentralised and decissions require consensus. MEW is just an independen project.
