Show HN: A Data Stack for Web3

4 points by mritchie712 4y ago

Hey - We're building https://luabase.com/ https://luabase.com/. tl;dr - Luabase is a data stack for web3 teams. We make it easy to query any blockchain with SQL, analyze it in notebooks, and embed the data in your app with our API. You can answer questions like: how many people that used Uniswap also have an ENS / .eth address? I know a lot of people here hate crypto. I get it. There's a lot of bullshit and scams in crypto. I'm personally drawn to it because a lot of financial applications suck and crypto provides a set of open source tools to build better ones. Anyway, if you're into web3, check it out and let me know if I can answer any questions. I'll be around.

We're still working thru pricing, but we'll always have a free tier and it's free to use right now. Here's a quick demo: https://www.loom.com/share/1221b8218e5d49d19b4707cf5b3269f5 https://www.loom.com/share/1221b8218e5d49d19b4707cf5b3269f5

What sets this apart from Dune?

  Great question! 1. We've built the entire product on Clickhouse (highly performant, open source OLAP database) so queries are much faster (10x+, see here [0] ) 2. We've had an API[1] from day one. I know Dune has since launched an API, but our API is our core focus. We auto generate API call's right in the app, so it's easy to get started with it. 3. We have built-in "Destinations". For example, you can submit one API call to get the results of a query (which could be 100's of millions of rows) sent to S3 or your own data warehouse automatically. This would take dozens of hours of ETL work to do with Dune's API. In Luabase, it's one API call and all the ETL work will happen automatically behind the scenes. 4. Our datasets are highly curated by expert data engineers, so there's no guessing which view you can trust. Every dataset in Luabase is validated and ready for production. 5. You can import your own data and export to any destination we support without writing code. 6. We've already "decoded" many of the top projects (e.g. ENS, uniswap, etc.) and have modeled views of events. We're working on a way to allow customers to build custom decoding pipelines for smaller projects so that any contract you need decoded is just a few lines of Python away. 0 - https://www.loom.com/share/c817012b86ad494a9cee0f3fa4029733 https://www.loom.com/share/c817012b86ad494a9cee0f3fa4029733 1 - https://luabase.notion.site/API-b86c02f5fc244041bcd365c02628fa72 https://luabase.notion.site/API-b86c02f5fc244041bcd365c02628...
