i hate API keys with all my might. i want every API to instead auth me by Ethereum address, and I can opt-in to a paid API simply by authing their subscription smart contract universal, manage my secrets as i want, vs having to juggle a thousand API keys similar to SIWE

Flashbots API already did most of the legwork here https://t.co/Puc9cTkdYv -- this should be everywhere e.g. i wish i could do `cast approve <service> 100usdc` and it should be able to do my API payments from there

API keys are like socks in the laundry—somehow, they just vanish, and you’re stuck digging around for them! 😂 In our project, we’re actually planning to promote data delivery via files on SFTP rather than through APIs, but I really appreciate this idea. It's a smart approach, and we’ll definitely work towards making it a reality 👍 Radosław @ BlockDB

What’s your take on web2 APIs wrapping contract calls?

Built my games web2 api using eth wallet sigs for exactly this reason. Every request is a signed “tx”. Can even have API requests bundled with permit for max control and granularity. Only pay for exactly the calls you want, could theoretically make open markets for API/RPCs using this too.
