We are glad to announce that BlockEden.xyz, web3 developers' go-to platform for API marketplace, has added a new, powerful capability – OpenAI API. Yes, you heard it right! Developers, tech enthusiasts, and AI pioneers can now leverage the cutting-edge machine learning models offered by OpenAI, directly through BlockEden's API Marketplace.

Before we dive into the how-to guide, let's understand what OpenAI API brings to the table. OpenAI API is a gateway to AI models developed by OpenAI, such as the industry-renowned GPT-3, the state-of-the-art transformer-based language model known for its remarkable ability to understand and generate human-like text. The API enables developers to use this advanced technology for a variety of applications, including drafting emails, writing code, answering questions, creating written content, tutoring, language translation, and much more.

Now, let's see how you can incorporate the power of OpenAI API into your applications using BlockEden.xyz. You can do it in three ways: using Python, using JavaScript (Node.js), or using curl directly from the command line. In this blog, we're going to provide the basic setup for each method, using a simple "Hello, World!" example.

The API key below is public and subject to change and rate limit. Get your own BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY from https://blockeden.xyz/dash instead.

Python:

Using Python, you can use the OpenAI API as shown in the following snippet:

import openai

BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY = "8UuXzatAZYDBJC6YZTKD"
openai.api_key = ""
openai.api_base = "https://api.blockeden.xyz/openai/" + BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY + "/v1"

response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model="gpt-3.5-turbo-16k",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello, world!"}],
temperature=0,
max_tokens=2048,
top_p=1,
frequency_penalty=0,
presence_penalty=0
)

print(response["choices"])

JavaScript (Node.js):

You can also utilize the OpenAI API with JavaScript. Here's how you can do it:

const { Configuration, OpenAIApi } = require("openai");

const BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY = "8UuXzatAZYDBJC6YZTKD";
const configuration = new Configuration({
basePath: "https://api.blockeden.xyz/openai/" + BLOCKEDEN_API_KEY + "/v1"
});
const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);

(async () => {
const response = await openai.createChatCompletion({
model: "gpt-3.5-turbo-16k",
messages: [{role: "user", content: "hello, world!"}],
temperature: 0,
max_tokens: 2048,
top_p: 1,
frequency_penalty: 0,
presence_penalty: 0,
});

console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data.choices, null, 2));
})()

cURL:

Last but not least, you can call the OpenAI API using curl directly from your terminal:

curl https://api.blockeden.xyz/openai/8UuXzatAZYDBJC6YZTKD/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo-16k",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hello, world!"}],
"temperature": 0,
"max_tokens": 2048,
"top_p": 1,
"frequency_penalty": 0,
"presence_penalty": 0
}'

So, what's next? Dive in, experiment, and discover how you can leverage the power of OpenAI API for your projects, be it for chatbots, content generation, or any other NLP-based application.

The surge in popularity of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology have brought along significant scalability challenges. Blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum face heightened demand as the interest in decentralized applications (DApps) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) increase. This has led to platforms like BlockEden.xyz, a software powerhouse based in San Francisco, to seek scalable solutions. Enter NEAR Protocol, an open-source platform launched in 2020 as a decentralized cloud infrastructure to host DApps.

A Brief Overview of NEAR Protocol

NEAR Protocol is a layer-1 blockchain that uses Nightshade, a unique sharding technology, to achieve scalability. It offers cross-chain interoperability through the Rainbow Bridge and a layer-2 solution called Aurora. Users can bridge ERC-20 tokens and assets from the Ethereum blockchain to the NEAR Protocol network, enabling access to higher throughput and lower transaction fees. The native token of the NEAR Protocol, NEAR, is used for paying transaction and data storage fees. NEAR token holders can also stake their tokens on the NEAR wallet to receive rewards or use them to vote for governance proposals.

The team behind NEAR Protocol is on a mission to address scalability limitations through sharding. Co-founded by Alex Skidanov and Illia Polosukhin in 2020, NEAR Protocol features a wide range of programming tools and languages, along with smart contracts with cross-chain functionality. These tools and features, coupled with a simplified onboarding process and human-readable account names, make NEAR Protocol a developer-friendly platform.

Integration of NEAR Protocol into BlockEden.xyz

The integration of NEAR Protocol into BlockEden.xyz's API marketplace offers developers a scalable, secure, and efficient platform for creating groundbreaking decentralized applications. BlockEden.xyz, already known for its robust security and impressive uptime record, has enhanced its offerings by introducing NEAR Protocol.

Understanding NEAR's Core Technology: Nightshade Sharding

Nightshade is the innovative sharding technology that forms the backbone of the NEAR Protocol. It enables the efficient processing of data by distributing the workload across multiple validator nodes. Each node handles only a fraction of the network’s transactions, allowing for a higher number of transactions per second. The dynamic adjustment of nodes based on network traffic ensures overall efficiency and low transaction fees.

Bridging Networks with Rainbow Bridge

Rainbow Bridge, an application on NEAR Protocol, enables the transfer of ERC-20 tokens, stablecoins, wrapped tokens, and even NFTs between Ethereum and NEAR blockchains. This allows users to benefit from the higher throughput and lower fees on the NEAR Protocol. The Rainbow Bridge operates in a fully permissionless and decentralized manner, locking tokens on Ethereum and creating corresponding tokens on NEAR to maintain a constant circulating supply.

Unleashing Efficiency with Aurora

Aurora, a layer-2 solution on the NEAR Protocol blockchain, is designed to host thousands of transactions per second with an approximate block confirmation time of 2 seconds. Comprising the Aurora Engine and the Aurora Bridge, it offers compatibility with Ethereum and supports all tools available in the Ethereum ecosystem, making it easy for developers to transition to NEAR.

Staking and Governance with NEAR Token

NEAR, the native token of the NEAR ecosystem, serves as the medium for transaction and storage fees. Token holders can stake their NEAR to run validating nodes, participate in governance by voting on platform decisions, and submit proposals.

Conclusion

The blockchain space continues to evolve, and platforms offering lower transaction costs and increased throughput are likely to drive mainstream adoption. The integration of NEAR Protocol into BlockEden.xyz's API marketplace is not just a mere upgrade; it's a significant step towards that future. With scalable solutions like sharding and cross-chain bridges, NEAR Protocol provides the ideal environment for developers to build efficient DApps and DeFi products. Together with BlockEden.xyz, NEAR Protocol is set to redefine the boundaries of blockchain technology.

Recently Iotex and BlockEden.xyz partnered together to bring the revolutionary experience to IoT developers. We committed to this mission seriously, and today we want to share 2 exciting updates with ecosystem.

BlockEden.xyz teams up with IoTeX to simplify decentralized IoT Application

IoTeX Delegate

We believe staking is one of most important things for blockchain, because it helps to ensure the integrity of the network by incentivizing participants to act in the best interest of the network.

One of the key benefits of staking is that it makes it more difficult and expensive for bad actors to attack the network. If a participant attempts to validate fraudulent transactions, they risk losing their staked cryptocurrency, as well as any rewards they have earned. This serves as a powerful deterrent to malicious behavior, as it aligns the incentives of participants with the overall health and security of the network.

Now BlockEden.xyz joined IoTeX delegate program, and we have our running delegate! https://stake.iotex.io/delegate/blockedenxyz is our delegate profile. This is our reward plan:

  • Hermes will distribute 88% of the rewards to you automatically. Payout frequency is every day at midnight (UTC time).
  • We take 12% to cover the server and development costs for our collaboration with IoTeX.

Please vote for BlockEden.xyz today! Your support is critical for us to continuously build in the IoTeX ecosystem!

BlockEden.xyz joined IoTeX delegate program

RPC Serivce

BlockEden.xyz's mission is to empower dApps, and we decided to bring this to IoT territory. In additon to the delegate program, we also suported JSON-RPC service for IoTeX. Therefore, if you're a dApp developer on IoTeX blockchain, you no longer need to setup your own IoTeX full node, and just sign up with us to start interacting with IoTeX blockchain from free.

BlockEden.xyz supports IoTeX Mainnet JSON-RPC

Why JSON-RPC first?

IoTeX blockchain provides 2 types of RPC endpoints: gRPC and JSON-RPC, and we choose to support JSON-RPC first because:

  • This RPC type could easily integrate with MetaMask for wallet service.
  • It's the RPC type of Ethereum blockchain and its L2 blockchains. It will be easier for an Ethereum developer to migrate to IoTeX.

gRPC vs JSON-RPC

There are some other deep thinking about gRPC and JSON-RPC. Please let us know your thoughts about whether you want gRPC.

gRPC

Pros:

  • High performance: gRPC is based on the high-performance, low-latency protocol called HTTP/2, which allows for efficient multiplexing of requests and responses over a single TCP connection. This can lead to faster response times and lower network overhead compared to traditional REST APIs that use HTTP/1.1.
  • Efficient data serialization: gRPC uses Protocol Buffers as its default data serialization format, which is more compact and efficient than JSON or XML. This can reduce the amount of network bandwidth and CPU time required to serialize and deserialize data.
  • Language-agnostic: gRPC supports a wide range of programming languages, including Java, Python, C++, and many more, making it a good choice for heterogeneous systems.
  • Built-in support for streaming: gRPC supports both server-side and bidirectional streaming, which can be useful for real-time applications or long-running processes that need to exchange data in real-time.

Cons:

  • More complex setup: gRPC requires a more complex setup compared to JSON-RPC, especially if you're using it with non-standard protocols like HTTP/2 or TLS.
  • Less readable format: While Protocol Buffers are more compact and efficient, they are also less human-readable than JSON, which can make debugging more difficult.
  • Higher learning curve: gRPC uses a different programming paradigm compared to traditional REST APIs, which can make it more challenging for developers to learn and adopt.

JSON-RPC

Pros:

  • Simplicity: JSON-RPC is a simple, lightweight protocol that is easy to learn and use. It can be a good choice for small-to-medium-sized applications or simple microservices.
  • Human-readable format: JSON is a human-readable format that is easy to read and debug, which can be helpful for developers.
  • Flexible: JSON-RPC is a flexible protocol that can be used over a variety of transport protocols, including HTTP, TCP, and WebSockets.
  • Language-agnostic: Like gRPC, JSON-RPC is also language-agnostic and can be used with a wide range of programming languages.

Cons:

  • Lower performance: JSON-RPC uses JSON as its default data serialization format, which can be less efficient in terms of network bandwidth and CPU time compared to Protocol Buffers or other binary formats.
  • Limited support for streaming: JSON-RPC supports only one-way streaming, which may not be sufficient for some real-time applications or long-running processes.
  • No built-in support for service discovery or load balancing: JSON-RPC doesn't provide built-in support for service discovery or load balancing, which means you may need to implement these features yourself.

What is IoTeX?

IoTeX is an open-source platform founded in 2017 with a vision of blockchain for the Internet of Trusted Things. The platform enables various machines and people to interact securely and trustingly with each other. In doing so, IoTeX ensures that everyday people and businesses own their devices and the data/value they generate from them.

We are on a mission to build and accelerate the web3 industry of tomorrow. We obsess about developer experience and strive towards constant innovation. And that's why now we are offering a decentralized file store, powered by EthStorage. dStore is a managed storage solution for creators and developers from any blockchain. It's user-friendly, EVM-compatible, low-cost, and petabyte-level scale, all powered by EthStorage.

BlockEden.xyz dStore

What is EthStorage?

EthStorage is a layer 2 solution that provides programmable dynamic storage based on Ethereum's data availability. It will greatly reduce the storage cost of storing a large amount of data on Ethereum, saving the cost from 1% to 0.1%. The low cost of storing large data by EthStorage can better enable a fully decentralized network in the future. EthStorage is highly integrated with EVM and is compatible with Solidity, Remix, Hardhat, and MetaMask. The team received a research grant from the Ethereum Foundation for data availability research.

EthStorage comparison with File coin and Arweave

EthStorage is invented by Dr. Qi Zhou, the founder of QuarkChain and author of EIP-4804/4972/5018/5027/5478. You can track EthStorage's statuses from the following sources:

Why does decentralized storage matter?

Decentralized storage is important because it allows for data to be stored in a distributed manner rather than being stored in a single location. This has several advantages, such as increased security and reliability, as well as improved accessibility. For example, because decentralized storage systems are distributed, they are less vulnerable to attacks, censorship, or failure and can continue to function even if some of the individual components fail. Additionally, because the data is stored on multiple devices, it can be accessed from multiple locations, making it more convenient for users.

What is BlockEden. xyz's dStore offering?

We strongly believe Dr. Zhou's vision to bring more cost-effective storage to the decentralized web and would like to collaborate with his team to democratize this innovation to every web3 developer on the planet.

More specifically, we will apply EthStorage as the underlying vendor of our blob store. Our developers can develop upon it to build their DApps faster and scale instantly.

Web portal for file management

Developers and creators can drag and drop their static assets to this file store and easily manage them. We free them from the hassles of managing private keys, paying transaction fees, and maintaining files with blockchains.

BlockEden.xyz dStore architecture

To ensure the decentralization of the storage, developers could eject the managed store to their own address anytime. Furthermore, we will open source the backend of the file store so that developers or other developer-facing providers can easily host file management services.

Unlocking new business possibilities through strategic partnerships

There are also future integration opportunities between EthStorage and BlockEden.xyz, in addition to the dStore launched today.

CDN to speed up the read

Most Internet services are read-intensive and take time to serve a large number of resources from a decentralized store. With our CDN service, developers can enjoy both the decentralization of the source files and the blazing-fast speed that we can achieve with a CDN.

Node service and API gateway to EthStorage

We will provide API access to EthStorage testnet and mainnet blockchain nodes after EthStorage mainnet launch for developers and businesses. Here are a few reasons why developers should choose us instead of their own or the official nodes:

  1. Easy Access to blockchain Nodes: BlockEden.xyz ChainPlus API provides easy access to EthStorage nodes, which can be used to interact with these blockchain networks. Starts to build in 10s, instead of spending 20 hours to start, countless hours to maintain!

  2. Scalability: BlockEden.xyz provides highly scalable nodes that can handle high levels of traffic and transactions. This can be important for businesses and projects requiring large amounts of data or user activity.

  3. Reliability: BlockEden.xyz nodes are highly reliable, with an uptime of 99.9%. This can be important for businesses and projects that need to ensure that their applications or services are always available to users.

How to use dStore with EthStorage?

Step 1. Go to https://BlockEden.xyz/dash/dstore and then drag and drop your files to the window.

dStore - how it works? Step 1

Step 2. After the file is uploaded to the EthStorage successfully, you will see the item in the table, then right-click the row and select "Copy URL" to get the link. You can also delete a file by selecting "Delete".

dStore - how it works? Step 2

Admittedly, the current version of dStore has some limitations. We don't support uploading directories and large files (size > 2MB). It may take tens of seconds to upload mid-sized images. However, this is just an initial version, and we will keep improving the product in the long run.

Dr. Qi Zhou, founder of EthStorage, share his praise on twitter -

Mike Thrift, BD at BlockEden.xyz, commented, "dStore enriched our bundled offering to the creators and developers and laid a solid foundation for our aggregated function API services to blockchains. It made us an active contributor to the Ethereum ecosystem and gave our Aptos and Sui developers a more cost-effective and flexible choice than IPFS or Arweave."

BlockEden.xyz is committed to providing the best developer experiences to web3 developers, which does not limit to Blockchain RPCs. The decentralized storage opens new doors for developers to manage their NFT assets and files in our one-stop shop. Get started today for free at https://blockeden.xyz/dstore

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
