Whilst our co-founders are making waves; @fraser_again at #money2020 & @ankurb at @DcentralCon before uniting at #Consensus2022, the fun doesn't stop for the team

Day 5 of our #OpenSource-athon, with 5 useful APIs for @cosmos builders

🧮🔂🔐💸💰

🧵

As #Cosmonauts know the @cosmossdk offers APIs for built-in modules using gRPC, REST & Tendermint RPC however we noticed a few that it can't provide, so we built them...

This collection of custom APIs can be deployed as a @Cloudflare Worker or compatible serverless platforms

1. 🧮 Total Supply

#Crypto tracking websites such as @CoinMarketCap and @coingecko require an #API endpoint for reporting the total supply of tokens in the main/primary token denomination.

While this figure is available from @cosmossdk's built-in REST endpoint, this returns a #JSON object in the lowest token denomination, which cannot be parsed by @CoinMarketCap / @coingecko .

2. 🔂 Circulating Supply

Likewise these sites require the circ. supply of tokens in the primary token denomination

This figure is not available from any @CosmosSDK API, because the criteria for determining circulating vs "non-circulating" accounts is defined by @CoinMarketCap

This API calculates the circulating supply by subtracting the account balances of a defined list of wallet addresses ("circulating supply watchlist").

3. 🔐 Vesting Account Balance

We noticed that there was no @cosmossdk API that returns balances that are not yet vested for continuous or delayed vesting accounts.

This is useful for any #Cosmos project managing vesting wallets perhaps for team members or investors

4. 💸 Liquid Account Balance

Our Luquid Account Balance API is used to get the continuous/delayed vesting accounts that can be converted to liquid balances.

This ones effective when checking the liquid amount of a wallet that has vesting tokens

5. 💰 Total Account Balance

Finally, our Total Account Balance API helps to retrieve the account balance for a specified account

Of course, you could just find this info in an explorer or use the @cosmossdk REST API however we found we needed something more flexible...

As the @cosmossdk REST API returns a JSON with the account balances it's hard to parse to something like @googlesheets to run analysis and checks.

This API returns a plain number that can be directly plugged into applications, without having to parse JSON.

Shoutout as usual to our great engineering team in particular @EEAnder1 who have worked quickly to provide the various APIs that have been requested by team members or external providers

Hopefully this will be useful for other @cosmos builders - reach out with any questions
