Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

General

Our vision is to create a middle layer between DeFi infrastructure and the application layer. blinq.fi aims to aggregate and abstract away the most important bridges and connect them to DEXs and DEX aggregators on each chain to facilitate cross-chain any-2-any swaps.

To decide which bridge to use, we assess and measure the degree of decentralization, trust assumptions, fees, gas efficiency, speed, and other qualitative and quantitative factors. Then, we use the thresholds and preferences of our integration partners and end-users to select the right path.

Why blinq.fi?

Our Thesis

  • The future is multi-chain
  • Cross-chain bridging solutions will play a major role on infrastructure level
  • Aggregation will pave the way for mass adoption

Ecosystem Problems

dApps: Many users come across a new interesting dApp on a chain they don't have funds in and struggle to get their funds there. This is significant friction in user onboarding as they have to research and find bridges to that chain to start using the dApp.

Yield Aggregators: There are definitely protocols with better yield on new L2/side-chains but there isn't a secure, reliable way to transfer your funds.

Wallets: Multichain wallets want to compete with CEXes, but they don't have a way to allow easy swap between assets like CEXes.

DeFi Protocols: DeFi Dashboards, lending protocols, yield farms, etc., that are present on new chains create a need to do cross-chain swaps, but their users have to wander the ecosystem to quench this need.


Developer Problems

Too many bridges to educate yourself about. It'd be good to have access to all of them and getting good guidance from people and algorithms that are specialized.

➔ blinq.fi does that.

Bridges are still immature so it's good to have not only one bridge but fallback solutions in place. Immaturity comes with security risks, insufficient liquidity and a lot of maintenance overhead.

➔ blinq.fi maintains all bridge connections, gives you access to multiple ones and handles fallbacks and decision-making programmatically.

Bridges are most often not enough. You also need DEXes/DEX aggregators as bridges are limited to stable-coins and native currencies.

➔ blinq.fi not only aggregates bridges, but also connects to sorts of DEX aggregators and if not available, the DEXs directly in order to find the best swap possible to arrive at the desired token and to allow to start the whole process with any asset.


Solution

A data mesh of cross-chain liquidity sources: cross-chain liquidity networks, bridges, DEXes, bridges, and lending protocols.

As a bridge and DEX aggregator, blinq.fi can route any asset on any chain to the desired asset on the desired chain, thus providing a remarkable UX to their users.

All of this will be made available on an API/Contract level which comes as SDK, iFrame solution, and as a widget for other developers to plug directly into their products. No need for users to leave your dApps anymore.

How It Works

Our API and SDK allow dApps and dApp developers to request the best routes for a desired cross-chain swap. Our backend will calculate the best possible routes based on the transaction fees, gas costs and execution duration.

The then returned routes contain already populated transactions which can directly be sent via the user's wallet to our contracts. A single transaction can contain multiple steps (e.g. AAVE on Polygon -> DAI on Polygon using Paraswap -> DAI on Avalanche using Stargate -> SPELL on Avalanche using Paraswap) which will be executed by our contract. Finally, the final amount of the requested token is sent to the user's wallet.

Architecture

The blinq.fi Contract is built using the EIP-2535 (Multi-facet Proxy) standard. The contract logic lives behind a single contract that in turn uses DELEGATECALL to call facet contracts that contain the business logic.

All business logic is built using facet contracts which live in src/Facets.

For more information on EIP-2535 you can view the entire EIP here.


Contract Flow

A basic example would be a user bridging from one chain to another using Hop Protocol. The user would interact with the blinq.fiDiamond contract which would pass the Hop specific call to the HopFacet which then passes required calls + parameters to Hop Protocol's contracts.

The basic flow is illustrated below.

graph TD;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->HopFacet;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->AnyswapFacet;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->CBridgeFacet;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->HyphenFacet;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->StargateFacet;

Diamond Helper Contracts

The BlinQDiamond contract is deployed along with some helper contracts that facilitate things like upgrading facet contracts, look-ups for methods on facet contracts, ownership checking and withdrawals of funds. For specific details please check out EIP-2535.

graph TD;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->DiamondCutFacet;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->DiamondLoupeFacet;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->OwnershipFacet;
    D{BlinQDiamond}-- DELEGATECALL -->WithdrawFacet;

Contract Docs

You can read more details documentation on each facet here. Sample requests to fetch transactions for each facet can be found at the end of each section.

Getting Started

Make sure to copy .env.example to .env and fill out the missing values. Tests might fail with missing environment variables if some of the variables are blank.

INSTALL

Adding a New Bridge

We try to keep up with all the latest bridges and DEXes but can't always add them as fast as we would like. If you would like to speed up the process of adding your bridge, we've made it easy for you to contribute yourself.
