After nearly a decade of infrastructure investment, building consumer crypto apps should be easy. Yet, my team still spends more than half of our engineering time just on infrastructure. Some of the complex problems we tackle include: 鉀擄笍 Cross-chain transaction indexing and standardization 馃 Enriching transaction data with pricing and social context from multiple APIs 馃捇 Evaluating and rolling out new integrations, such as prediction markets and intents We are looking for a cracked backend engineer to join us at /frens and help us build the infrastructure that powers magical user experiences!

Never considered just using an API for this instead of starting literally from scratch? Enriched tx data + standardization across chains, that's what we do. @jpren.eth

We actually use a lot of external APIs! But data is fragmented and our needs have often evolved faster than infra companies can support. We have to support things like CAIP identifiers, social context, live/historical prices, etc. A bit underwater right now but would love to chat soon!

Makes sense. Certainly the long term solution is to DIY, but man, data enrichment + standardization is a tall task. We've been mapping 1000+ smart contracts a day for years, but there's always another and another. Tough to keep up.
