🧵1/
I wanted to give a deeper insight into my decision and experience using @dune.eth 's Echo for Base Wrapped.

Before I made my mind up, suffices to say I've tried to use BaseScan API, HyperRPC(gud tek), index base chain(lol) and a few other products, but they all lacked the fast verbosity I needed.

2/ Specifically I needed traces and I needed them fast for the indexer to work in RT, I remember being super frustrated that I can't full get everything from 1 source, then I ended up finding Echo randomly on Dune and I knew I found what I needed. 

Decoded events, bingo.

￼ 3/ They also allow a whole bunch of filtering params (some of which were just added recently, after Base Wrapped).

tbh I've still had to write my own parser which was to be expected, but using Echo helped me avoid going insane by not needing to mash together 3 data sources for txs.

4/ As expected, I'll be using their API in future projects as well and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone that needs verbose data fast on EVM/SVM.

A big thank you goes out to @mats  once again for making my experience even smoother than what I originally had.

P.S; Although Base Wrapped got hooked up with higher rate-limits before launch, this is not a paid ad.
 
I would've used the same api with their free tier as well, as I've built out my parser before reaching out to them, it just helped my code to become the bottleneck, poor ts, should’ve used Rust.
