Announcement — New User Interface

We’re excited to announce the release of our new User Interface (UI) and checkout process!

Blockchain

Understanding Loopring and Dolomite

We at QuikNode spend a lot of time understanding different Web3 protocols & applications which have the potential for significant adoption. Loopring and Dolomite both use QuikNode infrastructure to achieve high-performance and comfort while building their products.

QuickNode at ETHIndia Hackathon

Last week, QuikNode attended ETHIndia 2019 as an event sponsor! We encountered a vibrant Ethereum community, building a variety interesting projects. Around ~1900 candidates registered, of which around ~68% were new to the Ethereum ecosystem.

Blockchain

Building DAOs with Aragon

This is a two-part series. In this first part, we will introduce you to Aragon and what it does. We will talk about its architecture and different parts of its stack. In the next article, we will create a really simple DAO using Aragon!

Blockchain

Cosmos vs. Polkadot

Building a blockchain is difficult. Many early projects forked Bitcoin and built their blockchain using it, but that’s not an optimal approach to build a technology that will last decades. So, projects like Polkadot and Cosmos are attempting to solve this problem.

Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Stats

This week we’re taking a look at data for Ethereum DEXs. If you are into crypto, then you’re probably familiar with Decentralized Exchanges and Protocols. Let’s explore how Ethereum’s DEX ecosystem is performing now!

Ethereum Ecosystem Statistics

Today, we will look into Ethereum statistics and see what happened in 2018–2019; what worked, what didn’t, and what’s coming next 🚀🌖🙌

Ethereum

Practical Advice for Solidity Developers

An average of 20,000 Smart Contracts is created every day. Over 3 Million Smart Contracts were created in November and December 2018 alone! A report shows that 60% of all Ethereum contracts have never been interacted with, less than 10% of all created contracts are unique.

Creating EVM packages with zOS!

n the last blog, we talked about building upgradable Smart Contacts using ZeppelinOS (zOS). Today, we’ll look at building EVM packages using zOS. Using Zeppelin, we can create an EVM package which can be used by other developers.

Ethereum

ERC-721 Token

The ERC-721 Token standard is the Ethereum token standard which enables Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on the Ethereum blockchain. Just like the ERC-20 Token standard helps in creating fungible tokens, the ERC-721 focuses on non-fungible asset design.

Zeppelin OS Tutorial 101

Zeppelin is all about Smart Contract development. The team has helped many developers build Smart Contracts with openzeppelin-solidity, one most downloaded web3 libraries on NPM (with over 10k downloads every week!).

Ethereum

Building with Kyber Network

The Kyber Protocol brings token inventories and prices on-chain, hence allowing developers to directly embed value exchanges into their smart-contracts without any technical or security overhead.

Creating Ethereum Smart Contracts via Command Line

This week we are going to create a Smart Contract using sbt-ethereum! sbt-ethereum not only allows you to create Smart Contracts, but also helps you manage your web3 projects (like one would with Truffle), though sbt’s rich command line tool. (it just makes your life easier as a web3 developer!)

Ethereum

Interact with Smart Contracts using the Command Line

In the last article, we learned how to create and manage wallets and addresses using sbt-ethereum, so we strongly recommend reading that article first. This week, we will learn how to interact with Smart Contracts using sbt-ethereum!

sbt-ethereum — A Tool for Interacting with the Ethereum Blockchain via Command Line

Today, we are going to talk about an awesome Ethereum development tool, which will change your life as an Ethereum developer forever 😎

Ethereum

Building Applications on Compound Finance

Open Finance is on the rise. Protocols are allowing people to lend and borrow tokens trustless via smart-contracts. In the last article, we talked about MakerDao and Dai JS (also fueling open and decentralized finance [#DeFi])

Ethereum

An Intro To DaiJS

The MakerDao project created the DAI stable token. A stable token is pegged to some fiat currency, which allows it to be a unit of account. Dai is a decentralized stable coin pegged to the US Dollar value (i.e. 1 Dai = $1).

The Ultimate Intro To DeFi

Some of the most successful dApps on top of the Ethereum blockchain like MakerDAO/DAI, Compound, 0x (and more which are discussed below) aim to disrupt the current legacy financial services system .

Introducing Etherniti & QuickNode

Etherniti allows companies, developers and startups to interact with Ethereum in an easy and friendly way. We add an abstraction layer that allows a fast, reliable and secure interaction with Ethereum networks and their smart contracts.

Intro to The Graph: Indexed Data for dApps

Most Ethereum dApps have two parts to their Infrastructure (Simple version): Front-end (Running in-browser) An Ethereum Node (Interface to the ETH network)

Top Libraries For Ethereum Smart Contract Developers

Today, we will list some of the most famous NodeJS libraries for building Web3 applications. These libraries are listed based on the number of downloads per month, in descending order

QuickNode — Your Ethereum Node

QuikNode offers the fastest Ethereum Nodes. With QuikNode you can save your developer time without compromising on Node quality or performance. In this article, we will help you to understand why you should use QuikNode.

How the Ethereum DApp Ecosystem is Coming Together

It all started with the implementation of Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper in 2008. That epoch was termed as Blockchain 1.0. Blockchain was thought of just as a decentralized ledger to make bitcoin transactions.

ETH-Ping — Let me ping your Ethereum Node!

At QuikNode, we always think of our customers and the problems they encounter using Web3. We recently started noticing that some were facing a problem with monitoring their Ethereum Node status.
