Welcome to the decentralized web! I’m building @blockhead, an open-source interface that lets you track, visualize and explore ALL the decentralized protocols – Ethereum, IPFS, Farcaster and everything in between. You can also choose which data sources power the interface at any time! Try it here: blockhead.info

Sneak peek at the @moxie.eth explorer coming soon to @blockhead, building on my previous work on the @farcaster client. Open composable protocols for the win!

New this week on @blockhead: resolve ERC-20 token metadata via @airstack.eth, @blockscout, Chainbase, Decommas, Moralis or a node client (via @viem). For every kind of entity that @blockhead lets you explore, I hope to offer at least two different ways to retrieve it.

@blockhead updates from this week! Explorer: 🎨 added/updated names, icons, colors and categories for various EVM networks and testnets. Blockhead's cross-chain explorer now supports most of the @superchaineco (@optimism @base @celo @fraxtal @0xmantle @mintblockchain @modenetwork @redstone @zora)! 🙈 long-tail/experimental networks are now hidden by default Apps: ⚡ added support for all DeFi apps currently indexed by /zapper Portfolio: 🔽 individual DeFi positions from Llamafolio (@defillama), @zerion.eth DeFi SDK and /zapper are now collapsible

This week's changelog on @blockhead: 🦙 added support for querying token balances and DeFi positions via LlamaFolio by @defillama 🔙 improved dynamic URL route parameter bindings – using the browser's back/forward buttons should no longer result in duplicate history entries 🛠️ performed some much-needed refactoring related to internal data structures, notably indexing EVM networks using `Map()` and including chain IDs within metadata for native currencies and ERC-20 tokens

Finally caved and applied for a checkmark for @blockhead’s 𝕏 account. It was nerfed for the longest time and attracted dozens of spam mentions per day (likely because it mentions “NFTs” in bio) so I never bothered to post much there. Hopefully the experience is better now. https://x.com/0xBlockhead

@blockhead lets you choose which infrastructure providers power its interface. Open-source, closed-source, centralized or decentralized – I hope to support as many as possible. There’s a spectrum of trade-offs. If any one of them fails, shuts down or becomes dishonest or malicious, switching is just a click away.

New @blockhead integration: added the ability to query blocks, transactions and verified smart contract source code via @blockscout. Pleasantly surprised to see support for REST, GraphQL, Ethereum JSON-RPC AND Etherscan-compatible APIs in one place. Very handy. Open-source Ethereum infrastructure for the win 🛠️

@blockhead is currently funded by: • dozens of hackathon prizes • @gitcoin donations and quadratic matching • @optimism RetroPGF Round 3 • a /buidlguidl stream (unofficially) • free tiers and startup credits from various RPC services and API providers • hundreds of hours’ worth of my nights and weekends
