Contribution

TrueBlocks built a fully decentralized, open-source data indexing solution available to EVM-based blockchains (Optimism, Ethereum Mainnet, and others).Users who want censorship-resistant, private, cheap, and fast access to unquestionably accurate chain data–free of any intermediaries and their direct or indirect costs–use TrueBlocks' local-first software.TrueBlocks uniquely enables Optimism and Ethereum users of all types to:- Build complete indexes as it looks for “every appearance of every address on the blockchain,”- Access pre-built indexes via IPFS and TrueBlocks’ Unchained Index smart contracts, which cheaply and equitably share the index for the public good,- Retrieve their on-chain data directly, cheaply, and quickly with consumer-grade hardware.

Impact

TrueBlocks gives users a viable and scalable indexing alternative that:- Does not compromise on Optimism's nor Web 3.0’s core values of decentralization, open access, and data sovereignty.- Helps reduce the community’s reliance on web 2.0-like data intermediaries that put us at risk of censorship, user capture, privacy invasion, and rent-seeking,- Expands the utility of the node software, giving users another reason to run a node, thereby promoting decentralization,- Inspires node enhancement via EIP proposals and demonstrates how true decentralization can work,- Better insulate the entire community from regulatory overreach.
