Describe the bug

[etherscan]
api_key = "ETHERSCAN_API_KEY"

The writing style seems correct, but there might be an error in recognition, and I'm not sure why.

Hi @t-o-wayn3

See: https://book.getfoundry.sh/reference/config/etherscan#etherscan

The correct format for the [etherscan] block is as follows:

[etherscan]
mainnet = { key = "${ETHERSCAN_MAINNET_KEY}" }
mainnet2 = { key = "ABCDEFG", chain = "mainnet" }
optimism = { key = "1234567" }
unknown_chain = { key = "ABCDEFG", url = "<etherscan api url for this chain>" }
