BlockScout - The Ethereum Explorer

Duration: 00:06:26

Speaker: Andrew Cravenho

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Invalid Date

Etherscan is a block explorer used and loved by many of us. One of the core features of Ethereum is the ability to verify, view, and interact with smart contracts through Etherscan. The problem is that this functionality is mostly closed source and end users have to trust a single entity that this information is valid.With the help of EthPrize (http://ethprize.io/) and the Ethereum Foundation, POA Network has been building an Open Source EVM block explorer to solve this issue. Our v1 release will take place very and soon and we would love the opportunity to show developers and the Ethereum community that there is another option other than Etherscan. Along with the standard blocks, transactions, internal transactions, tokens, and logs, our v1 release will include contract verification, contract read and write functionality, and exportable smart contracts for further verification from developers. Our plan is to support Ethereum, Kovan, Rinkeby, Ropsten, POA Network, and Sokol testnet in our first release. We've had the great opportunity to work with many developers in the space to build an open and accessible block explorer for the Ethereum community. Here is more info on the project: https://github.com/poanetwork/poa-explorer

Introduction to Snarks

Blockchains are a hostile world were all information is public and computations are expensive. A technology called zkSNARKs is coming to the rescue: It allows both a tremendous speedup in verifying the correctness of a computation while at the same time it hides the private details from prying eyes. This talk tries to give an idea about how and why it works.

Farcaster frames: building embeddable Ethereum apps

Frames are an open standard for creating embeddable, interactive apps in social media feeds and on the web. They help solve one of the hardest problems for Ethereum dapp developers: distribution. Although frames originated on Farcaster, it's now possible to build cross-platform frames that work on Farcaster, Lens, XMTP, and the open web. In this hands on workshop we'll introduce the core concepts behind frames and build a simple frame app that interacts with a smart contract.
