Recently, we published a post covering Canceled Transactions and How They Break Dapp UX. Based on the positive feedback we received from the community, we are excited to dive into the world of Ethereum Speed Up Transactions — what they are, how they are different than Cancels, and the implications for your Dapp. [We recommend first reviewing our Cancel Post.] What are Speed Up Transactions? Speed Up transactions are virtually identical to Cancel transactions – with one critical difference. Sp...

We recently introduced our new Notify API for programmable real-time transaction notifications. This new API represents an exciting step forward for Blocknative's cycle of ideate, build, test, learn, and refine. And one thing I've learned in two decades of founding and running startups is that successful organizations are constantly searching for customers to say three magical words:We want that!This new development was only possible because we worked with a great partner — Pillar W...

After months of internal development and testing, today I'm excited to introduce our new Notify API for Ethereum wallet providers and sophisticated Dapp development teams. Notify is a lightweight, easy-to-work-with back-end API that delivers real-time transaction state changes for every relevant address – or what we refer to as cradle-to-grave transaction monitoring. Notify integrates directly with the Ethereum mempool to let you: Monitor specific wallet addresses, smart contract address...

Is your Dapp displaying incorrect information to users? It probably is — through no fault of your own. Since the start of the year, we have conducted more than 30 Dapp Transaction Usability Audits. Every Audit involves 50+ unique quantitative metrics and qualitative evaluations. One surprising finding: we have yet to audit a Dapp that cleanly handles either Canceled or Sped Up transactions. Why? Before we dive into the problems Canceled transactions cause and why most Dapps don't address...

Our latest release of Blocknative Assist includes a new Transaction Notification API for Dapp developers and wallet providers. This simple but powerful API delivers instant updates on every transaction state change. Based on feedback from our customers, we extended our framework to provide an easy-to-consume API that enables Dapp developers and wallet providers to decide how, when, and where to surface transaction notifications. Users of this API are immediately notified of each and every tra...

What if I told you that you could control a crypto account with hundreds of millions of dollars in value just by guessing a single number? Well, it turns out that you can. Because in the world of blockchain, private keys determine ownership. And, as we explored in our last post, you can hold every private key in the palm of your hand. So how hard can it be to guess… right? For the most part, the crypto-curious react with a combination of surprise and intrigue. Typically the first question is ...

Our objective with the Beyond Chainsplaining series is to explore metaphors and stories you can use to help explain blockchain. In our last post, we built out our first 'metaphor of the moment': Blockchains as Brick Walls. In this post, we'll introduce a new and different ‘metaphor of the moment’ — how to hold virtually every possible private key in your hands. On a single sheet of paper. Anyone who has created an Ethereum wallet is familiar with carefully writing down a sequen...

Our recent Enough with the Chainsplaining post seemed to strike a nerve – in a positive way! – within the Ethereum community. Ecosystem thought-leaders and crypto-newbies alike have reached out to encourage us to continue on this theme. We clearly have good company in our quest to figure effective ways to discuss the foundational concepts that make blockchain technology so compelling. Given this feedback, today we're kicking off this Beyond Chainsplaining series. It will explore the voca...

User engagement is the goal of nearly every product ever built on the web. But its an incredibly hard thing to define. Why? Because engagement is rooted in the in-determinant world of end-user psychology. Engagement is driven by a mix of users' expectations, hopes, desires, and fears. It's challenging to predict what features will make a positive impact. But engagement is crucial to building and scaling. While at Web3 Summit, the teams at Blocknative and Flex Dapps collaborated in c...
