Glove

Glove is building gate-less user and developer experiences around on-chain data.

Why the effort?

Present solutions are in following categories:

1. Block explorers (etherscan)
2. SaaS analytics platforms (chainalysis, nansen, dune)
3. User-oriented closed-source frontends (zerion, zapper)
4. User-oriented fully open-source frontends (rotki, defillama)

Glove is ground-up built to be network agnostic, while bringing composability of user experiences in the hands of users without prejudice, enabling collaborative analytics, without UX-breaking dependence on centralized parties.

The research has pre-dated Glove in the form of perfector dev 0xAdil, but since its creation, the ecosystem and developer landscape is being heavily audited, and current focus is to create a burst of crucial execution.

Perspective to engineering

Glove is principled by PINT Network, which is a research and advocacy initiative for promoting and guiding gateless decentralized solutions. Glove is its first "vention". PINT Network provides the early engineering M.O and principles to keep Glove on track: https://pint.network/t/first-invention-mo/

Glove App (under-development)

First stable version: A minimal frontend for true formal accounting of an EOA, with two different layouts for user diversity. Also a visual report-like representation of a deployed contract.

evmtx (pre-development)

evmtx is a rust-based collection of crates for accounting of transactions related to evm based networks, incl. wasm interop. It's a greenfield project in a way it will adopt from various tools written in different languages, but also enabling coupling with frontends for better performance.

Why such organization?

0xAdil's speak:

PINT Network concerns itself with various industry perspectives and use cases, I being the first thinker assumed the role of first patron, and took possession of its spirit address (this one).

My motivation is to set precedents of starting from and maintaining self-accountability, and growing from there, although a community will only form around tangible efforts, which also start from my person.

The grant would be my sustenance, so I can keep up the work on following developments of Glove App @ mirror: app.glove.fyi:

1. Completing TS interfaces for integrations with established data sources (incl. trueblocks which is one early enabler)

2. Integrations with data sources

3. Releasing the first working version

4. Gas for pintnetwork.eth to issue glove a subdomain

The above will pave way for implementation of address accounting stack within evmtx, which is a different class of challenge because I can't yet code in Rust.
