Introduction

Definition of ERC-20 Tokens

ERC-20 stands for "Ethereum Request for Comments 20," and it is a technical standard used for smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. These tokens are fungible and represent digital assets that can be exchanged, just like traditional currencies. They have gained immense popularity as they enable the creation of decentralized applications (DApps) and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) through the Ethereum platform.

Uses of ERC-20 Tokens

ERC-20 tokens have a wide range of applications. They can represent utility tokens, providing access to specific features or services within a DApp. Additionally, they can function as security tokens, offering ownership in a particular asset or company. Furthermore, ERC-20 tokens can be used for governance, allowing holders to participate in decision-making processes within a decentralized organization.

Importance of the ERC-20 Standard

Standardization Benefits

The ERC-20 standard brought much-needed uniformity to the token creation process on the Ethereum blockchain. Before its establishment, developers had to design custom code for each token, resulting in inefficiencies and potential security risks. The ERC-20 standard streamlined the token creation process, making it easier for developers to create tokens that are compatible with various wallets and exchanges. This compatibility has significantly contributed to the widespread adoption of ERC-20 tokens and the growth of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Mandatory ERC-20 Functions in Solidity

totalSupply()

The totalSupply() function is a mandatory ERC-20 function that returns the total number of tokens in circulation. It provides transparency regarding the token's overall supply, allowing users to verify the token's scarcity and value.

balanceOf()

The balanceOf() function is used to check the token balance of a specific Ethereum address. It is crucial for users to know their token holdings and manage their assets effectively.

transfer()

The transfer() function allows users to send ERC-20 tokens from their wallet to another Ethereum address. This function is the backbone of token transactions and facilitates the transfer of value within the Ethereum network.

approve()

The approve() function is essential for enabling secure and controlled token transfers. It allows the token holder to authorize another Ethereum address to withdraw a specific amount of tokens on their behalf.

transferFrom()

The transferFrom() function is closely related to the approve() function and is used to transfer tokens on behalf of another address with their consent.

allowance()

The allowance() function is used to check the number of tokens that a spender is allowed to withdraw from the token holder's account. It provides an additional layer of security and control over token transfers.

Optional ERC-20 Functions in Solidity

Name

The name function is an optional ERC-20 function that returns the name of the token. While not strictly necessary for the token's functionality, it adds a level of user-friendliness, as it helps users identify the purpose of the token.

Symbol

The symbol function is another optional ERC-20 function that returns the token's symbol. Similar to the name function, it aids users in quickly identifying and distinguishing between different tokens.

Decimals

The decimals function, also optional, returns the number of decimal places that the token uses to represent its smallest unit. This allows for better granularity in token values.

ERC-20 Data Structures

Balances Mapping

ERC-20 tokens use a data structure known as a "balances mapping" to keep track of the token balance for each Ethereum address. It associates the token balance with the corresponding Ethereum address, making it easy to verify ownership and conduct transfers.

Allowances Mapping

The "allowances mapping" is another critical data structure in ERC-20 tokens. It stores the approved token withdrawal amount for a specific spender address. This allows for controlled and secure token transfers on behalf of token holders.

Conclusion

ERC-20 tokens have revolutionized the world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies by providing a standardized and efficient way to create and manage digital assets. With a well-defined set of functions and data structures, ERC-20 tokens offer versatility and compatibility across various platforms. As blockchain technology continues to evolve, ERC-20 tokens will remain a fundamental building block for innovative decentralized applications and tokenized assets.

fetch(`https://api.chainbase.online/v1/token/transfers?chain_id=${network_id}&contract_address=${contract_addr}&page=1&limit=5`, {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'x-api-key': CHAINBASE_API_KEY, // Replace the field with your API key.
        'accept': 'application/json'
    }
}).then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => console.log(data.data))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));

Using axios:

You need to install axios using npm install axios --save in the terminal first.

network_id = '1'; // See https://docs.chainbase.com/reference/supported-chains to get the id of different chains.
contract_addr = '0x7d1afa7b718fb893db30a3abc0cfc608aacfebb0'; // Take Matic Token's contract address as an example.

const axios = require('axios');
const options = {
    url: `https://api.chainbase.online/v1/token/transfers?chain_id=${network_id}&contract_address=${contract_addr}&page=1&limit=5`,
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'x-api-key': CHAINBASE_API_KEY, // Replace the field with your API key.
        'accept': 'application/json'
    }
};
axios(options)
    .then(response => console.log(response.data.data))
    .catch(error => console.log(error));

4**. Printing metadata of an ERC20 token**

By using the Chainbase API's getTokenTransfers function with the appropriate parameters, you can obtain the transfers related to a specific ERC20 token. Additionally, if you provide an address, you can filter the transfers to a specific address. The returned data will include information such as block number, timestamp, addresses involved, transaction hash, transaction index, transaction fee, and transfer value.

To get data printed, run command node .js in the terminal. In this case, the data returned looks as follows.

Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll be using the Chainbase DeFi dataset to retrieve the addresses of Uniswap V2 pools. Chainbase provides a wealth of blockchain data, enabling developers to access, analyze, and utilize on-chain data easily and efficiently.

Prerequisites

1. A free account at Chainbase with an API key.
2. An IDE. Our examples are shown in JavaScript, you can use VS Code as your IDE for example.
3. A contract address of an ERC20 token as your input.

Register and Get API Key

To begin with, you'll need to register on Chainbase and obtain an API key. This key will be used to authenticate your requests to the Chainbase API.

Retrieve Pool Data Via Chainbase Dataset

In this section, we will learn how to retrieve pool data from the Chainbase dataset. Let's use the following query:

query SpecificTokenInfo {
  liquidityPool(id: "0xd6e3f90f531f8dc9229ddbd2e59b4a6c7a5f5de0") {
    inputTokens {
      symbol
      id
      decimals
    }
    outputToken {
      symbol
      id
      decimals
    }
  }
}

This query allows us to obtain information about a specific liquidity pool by providing its ID. The response will include details about the input and output tokens, such as their symbols, IDs, and decimals.

Get Pool Information with Pagination

Now, let's explore how to get pool information using pagination. The following query demonstrates this:

query GetPoolInfo($inputTokens: String, $skip: Int!) {
  liquidityPools(
    first: 100
    skip: $skip
    orderBy: createdTimestamp
    where: {inputTokens_: {name: $inputTokens}}
  ) {
    createdTimestamp
    deposits {
      hash
      _walletAddress
    }
  }
}

#eg.
{
  "inputTokens": "USDT",
  "skip": 2
}

This query enables us to retrieve pool information in batches of 100 pools at a time, skipping the desired number of pools using the $skip variable. The pools are ordered by their creation timestamp, and we can filter the results based on the input tokens' name.

Query Withdraw and Deposit Information

To query the withdraw and deposit information from a specific address, we can use the following query:

# Query the withdraw and deposit information from a specific address
query GetWallet($wallet: String) {
withdraws(where: {from: $wallet}) {
	blockNumber
	from
	hash
	id
	logIndex
	timestamp
	to
}
deposits(where: {from: $wallet}) {
	blockNumber
	from
	hash
	id
	logIndex
	timestamp
	to
	}
}

# eg.
{
  "wallet": "0xb862cd7c725139bbed253bbc7f06e359a89bdea7"
}

By providing the wallet address through the $wallet variable, we can obtain details about both withdrawals and deposits associated with that address.

Query Pool Transactions

Lastly, let's explore how to query pool transactions. The following query accomplishes this:

query GetPoolTx {
  liquidityPools(
    first: 5,
    orderBy: createdTimestamp, 
    orderDirection: desc) {
    createdTimestamp
    deposits {
      id
      _walletAddress
      from
      to
      inputTokenAmounts
      inputTokens {
        symbol
      }
      outputTokenAmount
      outputToken {
        symbol
      }
    }
    swaps {
      id
      _walletAddress
      from
      to
    }
    withdraws {
      id
      _walletAddress
      from
      to
    }
  }
}

This query fetches data for the five most recent liquidity pools. It includes details about deposits, swaps, and withdrawals associated with these pools.

Using the GraphQL Query UniV2Pool

The GraphQL query UniV2Pool allows us to retrieve specific information about the top Uniswap V2 liquidity pools. Let's dive into the details of the query:

query UniV2Pool {
  liquidityPools(first: 5, orderBy: createdTimestamp, orderDirection: desc) {
    id
    name
    createdBlockNumber
    inputTokens {
      symbol
    }
    swaps(orderBy: timestamp, orderDirection: desc) {
      hash
      amountIn
      amountOut
    }
  }
}

In this query, we are using the liquidityPools field to fetch data for the first five pools. The pools are sorted based on their creation timestamp in descending order, meaning we get the most recently created pools first.

Results

"liquidityPools": [
      {
        "id": "0xd6e3f90f531f8dc9229ddbd2e59b4a6c7a5f5de0",
        "name": "Uniswap V2 Worldcoin/Wrapped Ether",
        "createdBlockNumber": "17761399",
        "inputTokens": [
          {
            "symbol": "WLD"
          },
          {
            "symbol": "WETH"
          }
        ],
        "swaps": []
      },
      {
        "id": "0x26bdfc68454a5028de4109007c8e2f6cbf0af33f",
        "name": "Uniswap V2 TAGToken/Wrapped Ether",
        "createdBlockNumber": "17761364",
        "inputTokens": [
          {
            "symbol": "TAG"
          },
          {
            "symbol": "WETH"
          }
        ],
        "swaps": []
      },
      {
        "id": "0x50a516b47e4a3da12bced268645baa1da34b25b5",
        "name": "Uniswap V2 X.com/Wrapped Ether",
        "createdBlockNumber": "17761362",
        "inputTokens": [
          {
            "symbol": "X.com"
          },
          {
            "symbol": "WETH"
          }
        ],

Interesting. This suggests you could grow your own brain (as in, YOUR brain, not anyone else's) and put it in a jar to obtain a sort of immortality. Only problem is, you'd need to find a way to sync your regular brain with the one you grew from your own neurons, or it would just be a clone.

SO damn sick of big tech suddenly bullying everyone they can into doing whatever big tech wants...

cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185

It started as an answer to a comment, but then I figured it might be worth a post on it's own.

So here you go:

1. The blackout was not noticeable in terms of engagement. There were plenty of threads that still got tens of thousands of upvotes, so the frontpage didn't look more empty than before. There were just some missing subs and an occasional reference to the blackout on the subs that were closed. The impact was much, much smaller than people here and over at lemmy suggest. Of course your personal frontpage is a lot more empty if you subscribed to the subs that are part of the blackout. It's absolutely not the case for /all though.
   Additionally, the blackout trackers are confusing. They show how many subs went black in relation to a total amount. Many people, me included, at first thought the total was the actual total amount of active subs, while in reality it was only the subs that pledged to close down. Reddit has up to 140,000 active subs, so in fact not even 5% closed.
   The attempt to show that reddit is generally uninteresting without a certain part of mods and users failed.

2. The API/3PA changes affect like 5-10% of users, so for most this isn't even a problem. I was really surprised when I found out about that number yesterday, because i thought it would be more like 20-30% for whatever reason. Every time there is a discussion about 3PAs that fact is omitted, so that the problem seems larger than it is. Why should the overwhelming majority that doesn't use 3PAs care about that topic?

3. The company doesn't consist of total morons. The user base of reddit is known to have a certain amount of people who are able to organize a protest network (think back to the net neutrality protest). They knew this was going to happen and it was already priced in. They stay on their path because reddit will be more profitable than before. They are losing troublemakers (aka people who want to have a say in their company policies aka us) with this move and will probably gain a multitude of new users with whatever they are aiming for. Everyone is asking why they have 2000 employees. Well, a bunch of them are surely hired in the marketing department. I assume they studied that shit and know exactly what they are doing. They certainly have business psychologists, marketing experts, data scientists.

To reword what I'm trying to say here: Instagram et al aren't that huge because they do what the users want, but because the companies know how to shape a service to cater to the majority of people. Reddit will do the same. In capitalism, going public is the logical step for a company to scale with their amount of clients. Catering to shareholders is inseparable from that, so rationalization is inevitable. The users who recognize that seem to be a minority. This minority is moving to the fediverse now, which, to put it in a more optimistic light, is kind of a win-win situation.

1. I'm starting to care less about all that. I reflected about my reddit usage and figured that I mostly subscribed to smaller communities anyways. I rarely commented in subs that regularly got more than 1000 upvotes for their contributions. Having hundreds of comments under a post gets annoying fast, because you'll be having a hard time being part of a conversation and there is no way to find out if the thing you wanted to say wasn't already said anyways.

Posting was already starting to get annoying in medium-sized subs. I asked a question about fungus gnats in my plant pots, specifically pointing out that I want to use chemicals and not nematodes. Guess what? About 30 people recommended nematodes anyways. I don't want this low quality spam, so I'd rather have a smaller community where people read before posting and not comment for the sake of commenting. I'm also okay with the Fediverse having multiple communities about identical topics. The mycology subs on reddit where flooded with ID requests of the same mushrooms multiple times a day, so people cared rarely to help identifying, because of course there is no incentive to write the same thing multiple times a day. Having that phenomenon spread out between multiple communities will take the load of a single community and their mods to handle these low effort posts. Yes, having really small communities is shit because nothing happens and it gets a self-enforcing effect until everyone leaves. Having huge communities sucks because of the reasons I named. Medium-size are the best. A few thousand subscribers, a few threads a day, a few dozen comments per thread. That's my personal optimum for the communities I want to interact with.

1. I don't think the Fediverse will grow rapidly and I don't think it needs to. We saw the rapid growth of mastodon after apartheid clyde took over twitter. The rapid shrinking of the active userbase a few weeks after was seen as a proof of its failure. But why is hardly anyone talking about the fact that the userbase three-folded compared to before? Sounds like a huge success to me, something any for-profit company would dream of. The same will happen to "reddit alternative"-services. We saw an influx of users in the last days (I was part of that), we will see another influx around July 1st and when old.reddit is shut down. Surely some decline here and there, but most probably constant growth when looking at a larger timescale the more the idea spreads and the more content is generated.

The shittification of for-profit platforms will continue indefinitely, users will always be driven away from them. Services come and go, there will be new trends, older concepts will be seen as outdated. It has always been like this, it will happen to services on the fediverse, too. But the fediverse as a general structure has huge potential, because it's a perfect base to adapt to these changes. The widespread confusion about how it works will sort itself out by more and more people understanding it and explaining it to their peers. It had to be done with internet/email 20 to 30 years ago, it still has to be done with things like 2FA. I'm a tech-savvy person and still find a lot of functions on the Instagram app unnecessarily confusing, but its one of the most used apps worldwide. Confusion will not stop people from joining a cool thing.

So, I guess I got you until the half of my post and you thought I would only be ranting about the situation. But its the opposite: as a matter of fact I'm firmly on the optimistic site of things :)
