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 🙏

A program for distributing tokens efficiently via uploading a Merkle root.

This program is largely based off of Uniswap's Merkle Distributor.

Rationale

Although Solana has low fees for executing transactions, it requires staking tokens to pay for storage costs, also known as "rent". These rent costs can add up when sending tokens to thousands or tens of thousands of wallets, making it economically unreasonable to distribute tokens to everyone.

The Merkle distributor, pioneered by Uniswap, solves this issue by deriving a 256-bit "root hash" from a tree of balances. This puts the gas cost on the claimer. Solana has the additional advantage of being able to reclaim rent from closed token accounts, so the net cost to the user should be around 0.000010 SOL (at the time of writing).

The Merkle distributor is also significantly easier to manage from an operations perspective, since one does not need to send a transaction to each individual address that may be redeeming tokens.
