i think I’ve seen a way to integrate Void to the blockchain directly and pull in live data without a third-party api
the plan is to read the blockchain directly instead of relying on fixed contract lists or analytics dashboards. Void scans every new block in real time, groups transactions by destination contract, and ranks activity by gas burned
gas is the core proxy here because it reflects real demand
discovery stays fully dynamic. any protocol that suddenly starts consuming a meaningful share of block gas shows up immediately (even if it launched minutes ago)
to make this possible, I’m using direct RPC connections per chain, block-level scanning with viem, and lightweight watchers that stream aggregated data into the UI in real time
gas usage is normalized per block so activity on L2s and L1s can be compared on the same scale
for identification, when a new hot address appears, void resolves it dynamically.
the scanner queries OpenChain(dot)xyz, which is free and requires no api key, to map the contract address to a verified name using its signature database
that means a “new protocol” gets named on the dashboard the moment it starts trending
if this doesn't work, I'll just call vibe coding a day ;)
been trying to vibe-code a dashboard to track projects/ dapps with the most visits across different timeframes
also pulling in projects trending on X, onchain and newly launched ones
this tool would be insanely useful for me as a CT creator
the main blocker right now is data. getting up-to-date APIs from places like DappRadar for free is… pain
right now I’m focused on building the “most visited” section first, then I’ll slowly build out the rest
if anyone knows solid alternatives to DappRadar that offer free dapp APIs, plzzz help
@Param_eth I know you can help me ;)
