Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently the plugin relies on a third party service (Etherscan). I'd like the user to be able to connected to a standard ETH node and collect block chain information that way. This give the store owner or service provider the option of setting up and running its own eth node for privacy, security, and uptime if needed. The user can also pay one of the various other node service providers for access.

Describe the solution you'd like Remove all Etherscan api code Replace it with generic Ethereum node code.

Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative would be just removing all etherscan code and having no outside connection. Just manual checks.

Additional context The context is increased decentralization and sovereignty.
