BlockBuster
We help you make your simple threads BlockBuster. Forming stories by analysing blocks, transactions & wallet addresses is now easier than ever
About
The problem it solves Today a creator posts Twitter threads when a significant event (like a hack, etc) happens. They paste screenshots from blockchain explorers (like Etherscan, etc) to validate their findings. On top of that there are thousand people publishing analysis for the same event. For a creator, BlockBuster significantly reduces the time and effort needed from their end to create an engrossing story along with adding easy visual add-ons on top of everything. For a reader, BlockBuster is one platform where they can find all social commentary related to a block or a transaction or a wallet (or any combination of these). Readers further get a chance to comment on these stories along with the ability to upvote or downvote a story. We will additionally allow readers to easily donate/gift to the creator of a story. We will soon have a strong recommender mechanism in place wherein a creator will get transaction hashes and wallet address recommendations basis the text that they are typing for the post.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into 1. We wanted to do a timeline view function where a creator can pass multiple transaction hashes and we wanted to show the entire story in one view with each hash being represented by a parsed human readable summary of the activity. Etherscan does not expose an API for this. We will have to write a custom parsing logic for it
