Technologies

  • IPFS: A protocol for creating content-addressed data
    • usage: Querying an IPFS gateway to measure its response time

    • see /ipfs/ipfs-enums.ts for IPFS gateways used

  • viem: A TypeScript abstraction for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain
    • usage: Reading uri of token contract
  • Blockscout: Plug and play "blockchain explorer as a service"
    • usage: Calling the /tokens/<contract_address>/transfers endpoint to retrieve latest transfers of <contract_address>
  • Farcaster: A sufficiently decentralized follow graph protocol
    • usage: Adhering to the specification of Farcaster Frames to return valid Farcaster Frames for an interactive mini-app experience of ipfs timer on Warpcast
