Did some onchain data wrangling this week at /frens 

Some takeaways from POV of an app builder:

1. It's difficult to find the right APIs that returns all the data that you need
2. Often need to cobble together multiple endpoints
3. Pricing related data is unreliable. A fallback API is may be warranted.

The multiple endpoints game is too real. We’re building a bunch of product infra to deal with it all.

Typical frontends talk to only a single endpoint controlled by the team. But we don’t want accidental centralized control of your stuff, so we are bending over backwards to keep the power in your hands as the user
