I think envio-hyperindex might be a good choice.. they have support for base and they can index factory contracts.. - Docs for indexing factory contracts :: https://docs.envio.dev/docs/HyperIndex/dynamic-contracts - Base support :: https://docs.envio.dev/docs/HyperIndex/base - Base sepolia support :: https://docs.envio.dev/docs/HyperIndex/base-sepolia

In terms of contract development, one of the biggest challenges is managing gas.. The idea is to employ both testnet and mainnet where in all activity is stored temporarily on testnet and when the reader activity is finally Coined (read: committed), their activity is made "real" and put on mainnet.. CREATE2 is great here, since as the reading activity goes on mainnet, new app tokens are minted to target addresses which correspond to User Smart Wallets.. The app will not need to pick up the cost of deploying these Wallets (on register), as the users can deploy their Wallets when first withdrawing! More info can be found here (in a bit) ~ https://github.com/sliver-labs/semicolon-fingers/blob/master/docs/architecture.md#contracts

With a traditional authentication, the issue is now managing it across three domains, ie, the main profile domain, the writer domain, and the reader domain.. As a result, a new repo manages auth and all domains ping the api of this [deployed] repo.. The auth service is written, now integration to the main app remains..

Using wallet sign ons — The main issue here is that this limits the number and the kind of users that can participate on the app.. Ideally, anyone should be able to publish stories, but having a wallet restriction forces users to first become crypto aware (if not native), and that is not the objective.. I even tried to move authentication later in the user flow (ie, after writing and just before publishing), and use Coinbase Smart Wallet, but that has a bunch of downstream issues, primarily the inability to write custom code around the Smart Wallet.. On the reader side of the app, the wallet login also becomes an issue since ideally the UX is being presented with a story from the get go and not bothering with web3 at all.. As a result, the move is now to do a username / password type authentication, akin to web2 platforms.. no need to reinvent the wheel just yet.. especially when trying to bring new people into crypto!

Semicolon Fingers weekly update! First things first, it seems I may have underestimated the amount of work required, oops haha.. people will definitely be able to post their stories by next week 💪🏽 The past week I worked on contracts, the auth layer, and the writing side of the app.. The two biggest issues I faced / am facing, 1. User authentication using wallets 2. Managing three domains with consistent auth More below 👇🏽

Finally, a shameless plug, but the project is also participating in Gitcoin's Grant Round 23 under the OSS dApps and Apps category.. Any donations on the grant there would be highly appreciated! Link to grant ~ https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/round/42161/867/184 Note, the donations must be made on ArbOne.

**Where can I sign up?** The project is currently under mvp development.. Having said that, the mvp is very close to completion and should be shipped within 10 days, or by next week's update.. Until then, feel free to express interest on https://www.semicolonfingers.com/, to be notified the moment it is live!

**What Coins are created?** Two kinds of Coins can be created through Semicolon Fingers, one on each side of the network ~ readers can create Coins that represent their reader journeys and writers can create Coins that represent their words (albeit, indirectly).. More on this in coming weeks! For more information, you can also read this writeup ~ https://github.com/thisispalash/zora-wavehack/blob/master/waves/wave01.md#zora-coins-integration

**How does Zora help?** Effectively, Zora's Coins Protocol, and associated network rewards, help in incentivising my users to perform certain actions within the project, and also provide some funds to the project, as a result of the rewards program! Another way the Coins Protocol can help, is when the markets created by each Coin is against the two network tokens — `SemicolonToken` and `SemicolonGas` This however needs to be gamed out, and is thus tentative.. The primary focus of the project is to help address global loneliness and care must be taken to protect writers from market dynamics.. The ultimate goal of the project is to help people share their bottled up emotions, earn some tokens, and then use those tokens to get professional help, if needed.. Creating a direct market between the network tokens and the Coins created can corrupt the original mission..

Hello @zora!! I'm a builder building with Coins Protocol, which honestly makes my entire project self-sustainable.. The project is called _Semicolon Fingers_ and it is a novel storytelling platform to address the global loneliness epidemic.. Current status :: MVP under development, ship next week 💪🏽 You can track progress here ~ https://github.com/thisispalash/zora-wavehack
