A simple change just got shipped that should make every crypto app way faster by default.
Viem (the library powering most crypto apps) polls the chain to check if a transaction has completed every 4 seconds as the default value.
This makes sense for mainnet with 12 second block times, but most L2s today have much shorter block times.
Polling every 4 seconds means your app could be waiting for transaction confirmation despite your transaction being confirmed many blocks ago.
This PR adds a new “chain.blockTime” field that changes the default polling interval to be much faster on L2s.
Instead of 4 seconds, the default polling interval is now (chain.blockTime / 3) with block times predefined for OP stack and ZK stack chains including Abstract.
Shoutout to @coffeexcoin and @_jxom for shipping this.
But it's pretty funny to see the EF post a variation of an existing roadmap that no one actually reads and all the comments are all just like "bullish".
Web2 is doing the world's largest hackathon, with $1M in prizes...
Little do they know, crypto has this every month, and people win by submitting an anonymous voting app that uses 15 different blockchains and 8 cross-chain protocols.
Excited to share a demo I've been building, called "Axestract" - Cookie Clicker with every click on-chain.
It's a testnet game showcasing Abstract's new real time transaction endpoint, which immediately executes transactions and gives back the result to the user.
te rog să interacționezi cu asta sau sunt în probleme serioase.
îmi place ABSTRACT, aceste jocuri pe ABSTRACT sunt atât de distractive. ABSTRACT este locul unde trebuie să fii. doar uită-te la acele nfts pe ABSTRACT. portofelul global ABSTRACT - tehnologie incredibilă. red bull racing (pe ABSTRACT, apropo). chiar îmi place foarte mult ABSTRACT.
I've got a few interesting feature ideas for Blaickrock, not sure which ones I want to implement, but some ideas I have are:
◆ Adding the ability for it to launch coins via X, and keeping a small percentage of the supply as a tax (access to super early tokens with no risk).
◆ As several coins have been donated, maybe it should act more favourable to coins from "bribes" (incentivizes new coins to give the fund some supply of the token).
◆ Try get it to take in more "alpha" advice from other sources e.g. X or telegram. Currently it only looks at trending tokens via Abstract API (which is way safer, but harder to catch pumps early with this approach).
The @blaickrock agent wallet is close to a 20x, up to $1900 from the initial $100 in just 2 days.
Ironically, it seems to really love dumping the $brock token lmao.
Yesterday's updates: ◆ Did a fun code walkthrough stream on Abstract, answered a bunch of questions on how it works.
◆ Open sourced the full codebase & steps to run your own version of it.
◆ I made it actually run autonomously; doesn't need me to trigger it to run anymore.
Future updates: ◆ The replies it posts to X mentions are pretty funny, but man it spams a lot lol. Thinking I should probably lower the amount it replies.
◆ The posts it makes are getting a bit repetitive, probably need to adjust the prompt to give the posts a bit more of a natural feel.
◆ The researcher agent seems to love dumping $brock for some reason, not sure why exactly, but the trades it's making are a bit repetitive, want to try add some more diversity to them.
Let me know any suggestions you have for it too to make it more fun, happy to try add/fix things.
