7 Million and counting 🫡

.@kaanuzdogan, @sourcifyeth at @argotorg on @devtoolsguild The Ethereum ecosystem is built on open-source foundations, yet the challenge of sustainably funding FOSS remains unresolved. (1/5)

the 2 big moats of @etherscan , from @SourcifyEth dev @kaanuzdogan and the solutions for it 1. A massive database of proprietary smart contracts along with labels on each as a developer, what's the 1st thing you do after launching a smart contract? you get it verified on etherscan since humans can't read the byte code on ethereum and we need to know your github code is the one actually running the crazy part is etherscan's entire database of verified smart contracts is proprietary (you can manually access on their frontend but scraping is illegal) which basically puts them at pole position for building an AI model for smart contract coding, especially since all the labels are also proprietary this is still better than solana which doesn't have a culture of source code verification 2. Etherscan has massive network effects which they use to double charge both API users and chains to their credit, it is freely maintained for ethereum but L2s have to pay 6 figures a year and users querying them with an API also need to pay The solution? the unified verification plugin at Remix (with hardhat and foundry upcoming) let you run once and verify everywhere so it would show up on etherscan, sourcify, blockscout, etc without the smart contract deployer manually integrating each similarly the @open_labels by @growthepie_eth gathers labels from different sources so we don't need to rely on a closed database

Using WhatsABI (by @shazow) under the hood, Sourcify can resolve multiple DiamondProxies and see if the implementations are verified. See this Diamond example from @lifiprotocol Sourcify gives you the richest information for everything related to contract verification

We added public self-hosted Sourcify instances we are aware of to our homepage: @hashgraph @hedera @blockvisionhq @monad_xyz @parsec_finance @Ronin_Network Are you also running a public self-hosted Sourcify instance? Add your own instance by letting us know 🙂

Why verified contract datasets must be open? With >6 Million real world contract sources you can test your tooling thoroughly Like @NomicFoundation's Slang, that makes use of Sourcify's open dataset to increase their confidence and generate test cases.

We tried to fix Ethereum's blind-signing problem... We couldn't fix it but we at least learned some things. Here are our lessons learned, and a breakdown of what people proposed to solve this issue 👇👇👇
