It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we at BlockEden.xyz offer our sincerest condolences to the families and communities affected by the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria. This natural disaster has caused immense damage, loss of life, and suffering to those in the affected areas. Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones, homes, and possessions in this tragedy.

The aftermath of this disaster has highlighted the importance of having access to technology and resources to aid in recovery efforts. In light of this, BlockEden.xyz would like to extend a one-year SaaS subscription to those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Our software can help those in need to efficiently manage recovery efforts, communicate with loved ones, and access essential resources. We hope that this small gesture can bring some comfort and support in these difficult times.

How could BlockEden.xyz help with the recovery?​

BlockEden.xyz helps developers and creators easily use blockchains like Aptos, Sui, and Ethereum. In this offering, Residents of Turkey and Syria with a verified government-issued ID could get a one-year free subscription (worth $2,400 or $23,988) from us. Of course, we reserve the right of final interpretation of this blog and offering.

Blockchain technology has the potential to aid in disaster recovery in several ways:

Supply chain management: In the aftermath of a disaster, it's important to quickly and effectively distribute aid and resources to those in need. Blockchain could create a transparent and secure supply chain for managing donations and supplies, ensuring that aid reaches its intended recipients efficiently and without any tampering or corruption.

Record Keeping: After a disaster, it's crucial to maintain accurate records of the damage caused, the resources and aid distributed, and other relevant information. Blockchain technology offers an immutable and transparent record-keeping system that can provide accurate and tamper-proof records, which can be useful in recovery efforts.

Identity verification: In the aftermath of a disaster, it's essential to ensure that aid and resources reach the right people, especially in areas with large displaced populations. Blockchain technology could be used to create a decentralized system for verifying identities, ensuring that aid is distributed to those who truly need it.

Donation tracking: In a disaster, it's important to ensure that donations are being used effectively. Blockchain technology could be used to track donations and monitor how they are being spent, ensuring accountability and transparency in disaster relief efforts.

Developers could consume our chain APIs or GraphQL APIs to build applications like the above, and non-developers could leverage our Analytics tool to create a data visualization dashboard to track data for those scenarios above. If you are interested in accepting donations with a customizable checkout page like the one below, please get in touch with us for details, and we will set it up for you.

However, it's important to note that while blockchain technology has the potential to improve disaster recovery efforts, it's not a silver bullet, and other factors such as infrastructure, logistics, and political will are also important.

You are not alone​

We understand that this tragedy goes beyond the boundaries of technology, and that there is much more that needs to be done to support those affected by the earthquake. We are committed to doing our part in helping those in need, and we encourage others to do the same. Whether it be through donations to relief organizations, volunteering time, or simply sending well wishes, every little bit helps.

To the people of Turkey and Syria, know that you are not alone in this difficult time. The world is thinking of you, and we are here to support you in any way we can.

Best,
💔 BlockEden.xyz Team

On January 25, the second wave of the Sui testnet went live and it would endure for 2 to 3 weeks. As part of this wave, BlockEden.xyz is helping hundreds of projects test and build on a secure and high-performance Sui network. This latest wave will bring more clarity to developers and users as they get ready for full deployment of the Sui network. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this testnet wave so important.

What is Testnet Wave 2?​

Testnet Wave 2 is the second phase of testing for Sui, a blockchain platform that enables developers to easily create decentralized applications (dApps) with smart contracts, deploy them on its public blockchain and leverage its built-in tools to keep their applications secure, fast and reliable. During this phase, hundreds of projects are now able to test and build on the secure, high-performance Sui Network using BlockEden.xyz.

Testnet Wave 2 has 39 validators plus 2 Mysten Labs-operated validators, which are geographically distributed. The network's epoch duration is approximately 24 hours based on 28800 checkpoints and its reference gas price fluctuates from epoch to epoch. The network is updated only as necessary and data would only be wiped in required recovery scenarios. Mysten Labs provides incident support, including oncall support and incident management protocol with necessary coordination with selected validators.

How can I connect to Sui Testnet?​

The network is permissionless. Although anyone can engage with the testnet, awards are exclusively given to program participants.

For an end user or crypto holder:

  1. Sui Web wallet can be downloaded here
  2. Open Sui wallet -> Setting (3 lines) -> Network -> Sui testnet
  3. Use Sui Discord #testnet-faucet channel to receive testnet tokens on Sui testnet.
  4. On testnet, Capy NFT can be tested by visiting https://testnet.capy.art/

The deployment of Dapps will take a few days as the Testnet has just recently launched.

The testnet SUI coins and staking rewards are exclusively used for testing and have no monetary value.

For a developer,

Grab a free public API key along with the endpoint from https://blockeden.xyz/keys and apply it to your SDK or HTTP clients. If you need a dedicated key, please sign up and it's free.

Sui RPC keys

What Does Testnet Wave 2 Mean for Developers?​

For developers who are building on Sui or plan to do so in the future, Testnet Wave 2 means more clarity about how their applications will perform when fully deployed onto the main blockchain network. They can use this opportunity to gain insight into how their application works under different conditions before going live in production mode which could result in fewer surprises once they launch their project publicly. With improved security features such as enhanced privacy options available during this testing phase along with advanced analytics capabilities being provided by BlockEden.xyz, developers have everything they need to make sure their applications are running smoothly before taking them live onto the main blockchain network.

We are among the first Sui Devnet JSON-RPC providers. Now we are excited to expand our API Service to WebSocket too. WebSocket would be useful to those dApps that need to take action on real-time on-chain events.

How to get started?​

Step 1. Go to https://blockeden.xyz/dash/. Please sign up if you haven’t done so.

Step 2. Input your name for the API key, select Sui Devnet Websocket, and then click + Create key.

create sui ws key

Step 3. Grab your access URL by clicking Copy to copy it to the clipboard.

Step 4. Use the access URL in your project like the following. Remember to replace <access_key> with your own key.

How to use WebSocket?​

To quickly play around WebSocket endpoint in the command line, you could use wscat. To download it, run the following command:

npm install -g wscat

Then, run the following command to connect to the WebSocket endpoint (remember replacing with your own API key):

wscat -c wss://sui-devnet.blockeden.xyz/kjz2sTknHkNE9aXQ6j1N

Now in the session, you could give the command. For example, you could say subscribing events that matchin some cerntain criteria:

Connected (press CTRL+C to quit)
> {"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id": 1, "method": "sui_subscribeEvent", "params": [{"All":[{"EventType":"MoveEvent"}, {"Package":"0x2"}, {"Module":"devnet_nft"}]}]}
< {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":6240320950310564,"id":1}

And you would also observe events being streamed to your console:

< {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"sui_subscribeEvent","params":{"subscription":6240320950310564,"result":{"timestamp":1672211297607,"txDigest":"PDPBHEo5pmMeLK8Dc4226MZxUA2dkQK91W2ECHFgN1a","id":{"txSeq":1471806,"eventSeq":2},"event":{"moveEvent":{"packageId":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002","transactionModule":"devnet_nft","sender":"0x35a09652085b5c4c178d9cfe234d8c1a6b89306b","type":"0x2::devnet_nft::MintNFTEvent","fields":{"creator":"0x35a09652085b5c4c178d9cfe234d8c1a6b89306b","name":"Example NFT","object_id":"0x7631724b6eb066b8514c6159f716a8826055ee5e"},"bcs":"djFyS26wZrhRTGFZ9xaogmBV7l41oJZSCFtcTBeNnP4jTYwaa4kwawtFeGFtcGxlIE5GVA=="}}}}}

Here at BlockEden.xyz, we are always looking for ways to improve the security of digital assets on blockchain for developers and their customers. That's why we're glad to announce our official partnership with Secure3, a collaborative web3 security auditing ecosystem.

As our trusted security provider, Secure3 will team with us to protect digital assets on blockchains with MOVE smart contract language. This partnership is a strategic move for both BlockEden.xyz and Secure3. For BlockEden.xyz, it means that we can continue to provide our customers with the highest level of security possible. And for Secure3, it provides them with an opportunity to showcase their expertise in blockchain security to the move language ecosystem. We're confident that this partnership will be a win-win for everyone involved.

BlockEden.xyz Partners with Secure3

What is Secure3?​

Secure3 is a collaborative web3 security auditing ecosystem that helps organizations identify and fix vulnerabilities in their smart contracts. The company was founded in 2022 by a team of world-class security researchers and developers passionate about building a more secure web3 world.

Secure3's mission is to secure web3 by empowering a transparent, collaborative, and verifiable security ecosystem. To that end, they provide:

  • Trustworthy security auditing for projects.
  • A competitive incentive model for auditors and whitehats.
  • Verifiable security track records for the community.

The new model finds more critical bugs faster than any centralized auditing firm. They also offer training and education resources so that companies can build stronger internal security teams.

Why blockchain security matters​

As the use of blockchain technology grows, so too does the need for robust security solutions. That's because blockchain-based applications are often built on top of open-source smart contracts, which are notoriously difficult to secure. Hackers have taken advantage of this fact to steal millions of dollars worth of digital assets from exchanges, wallets, and other blockchain-based applications.

In order to prevent these kinds of attacks from happening in the future, it's important for companies to build robust security teams and adopt best practices for secure coding and auditing smart contracts. That's where Secure3 comes in. By partnering with Secure3, we are sending a clear message that we take the security of our digital assets seriously and are committed to protecting them against all threats.

What does BlockEden.xyz do?​

BlockEden.xyz provides a set of APIs that makes it easy for developers to connect to the Aptos and Sui networks. Our platform enables developers to quickly and securely build decentralized applications (DApps). In addition, we offer tools that help developers to track their DApp usage and manage their user keys.

We believe that our platform will help to accelerate the development of the Aptos and Sui ecosystems. Our goal is to make it easy for developers to build DApps on Aptos and Sui, so that more people can use these blockchains to fulfill their decentralized needs.
