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 🙏

Readme

= web3-provider-sponsoring

When sending transactions via metamask, it first checks if user has enough balance to pay for gas fees

However, at unique chain, we have sponsoring, and user without balance can submit transaction to chain, without having money, and without using any middlewares (GSN for example)

To make it work with metamask, we should skip gas check, this library does this trick

== Using

This library works as wrapper around another provider

I.e you refer to metamask as window.ethereum, you should wrap it as:

[source,js]

import SponsoringProvider from 'web3-provider-sponsoring';

new Web3(new SponsoringProvider(window.ethereum));

== Implementation

As Metamask only checks balance when handling eth_sendTransaction, we instead intercept this call, and then handle it ourselves by signing transaction via eth_sign, and then sending it directly via eth_sendRawTransaction

This way, metamask can't show user call info, it only warns about possibly unsafe usage of eth_sign call

This message will be removed, after metamask implements eth_signTransaction
