Are blockchains really meeting their promise?

Problem Statement

If you’re like us, you fell in love with blockchains because of the promise they provide: world-wide, private, and permissionless access to the most accurate and agreed-upon data ever produced. Near perfect data.

But in reality, it’s as if we’re just lost at sea. Awash in bytes.

World-wide

Blockchains are supposed to be world-wide. Are they? Yes, they are.

Usage

– Can I get my balance for a given token?

Yes. There is. In fact, this is one of TrueBlocks’ most important features. Simply do chifra export --statements <address(es)> or query the API serve with http://localhost:8080/export?addr=<address>&statements.

Note that chifra export has many, many other options which produce similarly-informative data such as --logs, --appearances, --neighbors, --accounting, and so on. See the entire help file with chifra export --help.

TrueBlocks in Berlin - 2023

An interactive demonstration of TrueBlocks at dAppCon Berlin 2023.

To save time for everyone, please complete the Prerequisites before you come.

What we hope to accomplish

"Accessing Ethereum data from a locally running Ethereum node
is orders of magnitude better than accessing it remotely."

Thomas Jay Rush, every day

We hope to show why:

Running a local Ethereum node is not that hard,
The RPC is broken, but it can be fixed,
Web 2.0 APIs delivering Web 3.0 data makes NO SENSE!
- Rate limiting slows the world to molasses,
- Thier non-standard endpoints will capture you,
- They MUST know who you are so they can rate limit you,
- The API game is winner-take-all. Witness Google,
- How do we know they’re not lying?
- Why wouldn’t regulators shut them down?
Content addressable data stores hold the key.

Prerequisites

TrueBlocks is built from source and, therefore, you’ll need a few build tools. Run the following commands depending on your operating system.

    monitors      add, remove, clean, and list address monitors
    names         query addresses or names of well known accounts
    abis          fetches the ABI for a smart contract
  Chain Data:
    blocks        retrieve one or more blocks from the chain or local cache
    transactions  retrieve one or more transactions from the chain or local cache
    receipts      retrieve receipts for the given transaction(s)
    logs          retrieve logs for the given transaction(s)
    traces        retrieve traces for the given transaction(s)

  Chain State:
    state         retrieve account balance(s) for one or more addresses at given block(s)
    tokens        retrieve token balance(s) for one or more addresses at given block(s)
  Admin:
    status        report on the status of the TrueBlocks system
    serve         serve the TrueBlocks API using the flame server
    scrape        scan the chain and update (and optionally pin) the TrueBlocks index of appearances
    chunks        manage and investigate chunks and bloom filters
    init          initialize the TrueBlocks system by downloading from IPFS
  Other:
    quotes        update or display Ethereum price data, this tool has been deprecated
    explore       open a local or remote explorer for one or more addresses, blocks, or transactions
