There was a problem hiding this comment.
This line will create invalid JSON after comment stripping. After the comment is removed, there will be a trailing comma after "FilOzone/filecoin-pay-explorer" on line 8, followed by another comma on line 10 (or the closing bracket), which violates JSON syntax. This line should either be moved to the end of the array or the entire line should be commented out including the comma, or the previous line's comma should be removed.
