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.

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=="}}}}}
< {"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=="}}}}}
< {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"sui_subscribeEvent","params":{"subscription":6240320950310564,"result":{"timestamp":1672211297617,"txDigest":"ZpnGea1XkkzfsBeSCnR37xKvkdCSgjcfp81owD6QS4i","id":{"txSeq":1471808,"eventSeq":2},"event":{"moveEvent":{"packageId":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002","transactionModule":"devnet_nft","sender":"0x96e31283ad37fe2ebbdff635501c9feaa2bd8af7","type":"0x2::devnet_nft::MintNFTEvent","fields":{"creator":"0x96e31283ad37fe2ebbdff635501c9feaa2bd8af7","name":"Wizard Land","object_id":"0xe63f7ee979d23d4ab60b598529dc4136d33f07a8"},"bcs":"5j9+6XnSPUq2C1mFKdxBNtM/B6iW4xKDrTf+Lrvf9jVQHJ/qor2K9wtXaXphcmQgTGFuZA=="}}}}}
...

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.

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!

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:

Setup BlockEden.xyz ethereum rpc url in Metamask

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~).

What is BlockEden.xyz?​

BlockEden.xyz is a suite of APIs powering DApps for Aptos and Sui blockchains of all sizes. Our software and API service enables you to easily access blockchain data so that you can build DApps quickly and efficiently.

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

BlockEden.xyz API usage monitor

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.

Bock Eden is glad to add the indexer fullnode GraphQL to our Aptos API and Node Service. This solves the pain point immediately for many DApp developers with a high QPS demand in the Aptos ecosystem.

Without our out-of-box performant API, these developers have to connect to the official servers, which are shared across hobbyist developers with a very restrictive rate limit of 300 requests/hour. This limit is not for production-level products. In this case, developers are forced to run the indexer full node by themselves. And unfortunately, the official guide is confusing and does not cover the entire tech stack.

Now, with BlockEden.xyz's Aptos GraphQL API, developers are now free from worrying about the rate limit or the huge hassle of running their own GraphQL servers.

Here's 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 Aptos Mainnet Indexer GraphQL, and then click + Create key.

Get Aptos GraphQL Step 1

Step 3. Click the access URL in the table to copy or click Test to get started with the Hasura GraphQL playground.

Get Aptos GraphQL Step 2

Get Aptos GraphQL Step 3

Bungie, who is working on an Aptos wallet, says "This is literally life-saving!"

BlockEden.xyz is committed to growing with the Aptos developers and providing the most tailored and scalable developer infrastructure. This GraphQL feature is exactly the result of listening to our customers. If you are an Aptos developer that needs anything from us, let us know at https://discord.gg/4Yfvs2HWey
