Note: This post was written during the Sui devnet phase and some details may be outdated.

We were 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.

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=="}}}}}
< {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"sui_subscribeEvent","params":{"subscription":6240320950310564,"result":{"timestamp":1672211297614,"txDigest":"XcTtaU28vUsR18ZMRhE7XuMadeUfCj8kTZfHD1Xs8H7","id":{"txSeq":1471807,"eventSeq":2},"event":{"moveEvent":{"packageId":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002","transactionModule":"devnet_nft","sender":"0xc9a7020d260599e06b63baae7504b2ead68a580a","type":"0x2::devnet_nft::MintNFTEvent","fields":{"creator":"0xc9a7020d260599e06b63baae7504b2ead68a580a","name":"Example NFT","object_id":"0xdc2961ac31f550fcae6ac050c4cc5c364f3736c3"},"bcs":"3ClhrDH1UPyuasBQxMxcNk83NsPJpwINJgWZ4Gtjuq51BLLq1opYCgtFeGFtcGxlIE5GVA=="}}}}}

...

For more details of subscribing Sui events via WebSocket, please refer to the offical doc.

Misc​

To prevent too many outstanding idle connections, we will drop any WebSocket connection that hasn't exchanged data in the past 5 minutes. Client will receive an error code: 1006.

Back to a month ago, we made a public incognito Ethereum mainnet RPC endpoint available to Metamask users (blog post), which attracted and was used by a few users. Now we decided to expand the benefit to our developer customers too!

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 ETH Mainnet, and then click + Create key.

Step 3. Grab your access URL by clicking it and copying 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.

To test it, using curl to connect ETH mainnet

curl --location --request POST 'https://eth-mainnet.blockeden.xyz/<access_key>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
        "jsonrpc":"2.0",
        "method":"eth_blockNumber",
        "params":[],
        "id":73
}'

Why Ethereum Network?​

Ethereum network has the biggest developer ecosystem, and there are so many great innovations accumulated over years. Supporting it is going to create significant synergy with Move ecosystem. Many of our customers are not exclusive Move developers. Building a single stop for all needed services makes their life easier.

Enjoy our new service and happy holidays!

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.

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.

• Medium: https://medium.com/@Secure3DAO
• Academy: https://www.secure3.io/academy
• Start a smart contract audit or become an auditor: https://www.secure3.io

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.

Do you have any trouble checking your Sui node's health? We are now disclosing a simple tool to get you covered instantly - try it now at https://blockeden.xyz/sui-health-checker.

Starting from Sept 23, 2023, if you use the default RPC URL (aka https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/) in Metamask, your IP address and wallet address will be collected whenever you send a transaction (source).

Some people prefer to keep their identity untracked, and are looking for an alternative RPC URL that doesn’t track user identity. Here BlockEden.xyz gets you covered! We have opened a public Ethereum Mainnet RPC endpoint – https://eth-mainnet-public.blockeden.xyz for free, and we do not trace any user identity of any transactions going through our RPC URL as well as blockchain data reading operations.

To set it up with your Metamask, go to Settings -> Networks, and click “Add a network” on the upper right corner. You can fill in the following info:

• Network name: Ethereum Mainnet (BlockEden.xyz)
• New RPC URL: https://eth-mainnet-public.blockeden.xyz
• Chain ID: 1
• Currency symbol: ETH
• Block explorer URL: https://etherscan.io

Then, you’re good to go, and click “Save”. When you want to send an incognito transaction, you could just select “Ethereum Mainnet (BlockEden.xyz)” network, and then send the transaction (shhh~).

Many of our customers asked us to improve how we measure API consumption. So today, an API usage monitor is added to the dashboard.

The chart above shows a test customer's daily requests in the last seven days. The requests are measured in compute units. A compute unit estimates how many resources an API method consumes on BlockEden.xyz. For example, a simple REST request only consumes 1 CU, while a more complex GraphQL request consumes 5 CUs.

Please note that our daily cutoff for the API meter is UTC 00:00 am.

With this new line chart, you can

• Get more accurate predictions of your API usage.
• Make better decisions about how to use your APIs.
• Spend less time worrying about your usage and more time developing your product.

BlockEden.xyz is committed to making it easy for developers to build applications on the blockchain. Our next step is to add basic data analytics for Aptos and support Sui Devnet. If you have any feedback, talk to us at https://discord.gg/GqzTYQ4YNa.
