Onbloc's Builder Journey

[dongwon8247]

Welcome to the Onbloc's Builder Journey!
This issue is a comprehensive introduction to Onbloc and a place where you can expect regular updates from us.
I hope you find this issue helpful to get to know about Onbloc, and we very much look forward to collaborating with you! Let's gno!

Introduction

Onbloc is a software development company that specializes in developing essential public infrastructure tools for the Gnoland blockchain ecosystem, including Adena (a non-custodial wallet), Gnoscan (a blockchain explorer), and Gnoswap (a decentralized finance platform).

Our goal is to play the role of ConsenSys for the Gnoland ecosystem. The importance of providing reliable key infrastructure tools such as MetaMask and Infura has been proven by the impactful contributions that ConsenSys has made to the success of Ethereum. These essential tools should be made available to the developers and dapps, free of charge, to accelerate the adoption of a blockchain ecosystem. We believe that the developer-centric design philosophy of Gnoland has the potential to place it as one the most widely-adopted smart contract platforms in the world, and we're committed to supporting this initiative by providing these tools for its ecosystem.

We're currently a team of 9 strong individuals with diverse backgrounds in the blockchain industry including Web3 projects, crypto exchanges, consulting firms, incubators, and infosec institutes, with an average career of 6+ years. Our members are firmly aligned with the vision of onboarding the masses to Web3. To achieve this goal, we believe that designing a quality UX/UI is essential for Web3 infrastructure services, an area in which we possess expertise.

Products

I'll briefly explain our products with related links here. You can find detailed milestones of each product in our Grants Program Submission (Link).

Adena

Adena is a friendly, non-custodial, and open-source wallet for the Gnoland blockchain. Adena currently supports a variety of wallet functionalities including creating/restoring wallet, viewing/sending/receiving tokens (including GRC20s), signing Gno realms, displaying transaction history, interacting with dapps, supporting ledger, google login, multi-network/account, the in-app faucet, AirGap Accounts, and more. We're working on adding new features such as GRC721, notifications, and more. Also, we're exploring a way to support new and more secure signing methods using std.Session.

Also, you can find detailed on-chain information that has been converted into a user-friendly format, making it easily readable, such as Account Details, Realm Details (i.g. /r/demo/users) and Token Details (i.g. foo) with raw contract code lines.

Releasing Gnoswap Docs_August 18, 2023

We're thrilled to release the first version of the Gnoswap docs. This docs include the rationale behind how we plan to contribute to Gno with Gnoswap, what makes Gnoswap unique, its core concepts, and $GNOS tokens.

Link: https://docs.gnoswap.io/

For the next step for the docs, we'll add a technical analysis of the core contracts of Gnoswap as we open-source the contracts in Q4 2023.
