Hello Product Hunt community, At Unmarshal, we are constantly striving to stay ahead of the curve. In an effort to innovate, our team came up with an idea that will change the way smart contract data is accessed and interpreted. The idea was simple enough: they wanted to streamline the process of extracting, indexing, and then analysing decoded protocol data. It was intended as a tool to aid dApp developers with on-chain analytics. But the real challenge was to build a platform that could accommodate all this, and at the same time, did not require any development know-how to use. Now that would be a game-changer wouldn’t it? So to put it plainly, parser is a tool developed in-house at Unmarshal to automatically index data associated with any given smart contract deployed on Ethereum, Polygon, and BNB chains. Support is also available for Rinkeby, BNB, and Mumbai Matic Testnets. Once indexed, the data is accessible to the users through two avenues, detailed below. Metabase Dashboards It lets you visualise protocol data in the form of graphs/charts on the user-friendly Metabase platform. Build your own dashboards here and gain valuable insights. To take a fairly simple example, suppose you have a staking contract and you’d like to analyse how often users stake or unstake their tokens, or maybe track the number of unique stakers and top staked amount. All this is possible with just a single tool and this can be applied to any given protocol on the blockchain. GraphQL APIs But that’s not all… you can even run your own indexer and query data through GraphQL APIs. The beauty of Parser Tech is that it allows you to query highly specific, rich protocol data outside of the one provided by our standard set of Unmarshal APIs. This in turn can also be used to build custom UIs and dashboards. All this without having to write a single line of code. How does it work? Simply enter the address of the smart contract to be indexed and the Parser will obtain the ABI. Choose the on-chain events of interest to you along with the functions that are invoked in a smart contract. The tool will then sync the protocol data and upon completion, developers can create their own dashboards for analytics or create their own query mechanism using the GraphQL Playground. A live sync will automatically be maintained throughout. The edge that Unmarshal has is the ability to decode not just events, but also function data. Even price and token details are decoded. Who is it Built for? * Web3 Applications, dApp developers, Analysts, Investors, even DAOs, can all benefit from Unmarshal’s Parser in different ways. * Defi & NFT Applications can measure and track certain metrics relevant to their core function for in-depth on-chain analysis. * Whenever there is a feature addition or upgrades to a smart contract, the tool helps DApp builders track how the changes have impacted usage. * It’s a useful tool for investors and DAOs to keep a close eye on how their DeFi applications are performing and analyse user behaviour. * Enables rookie developers with limited experience to build their own custom GraphQL APIs, without any coding knowledge needed.
