Supporting more than 500 smart contracts on multi-chains, Unmarshal is an emerging player in the web3 data infrastructure space. Unmarshal is an indexing and computing solution that allows developers to focus on building decentralized applications by providing rich, decoded on-chain data without worrying about high server costs and maintenance. Thus far, 10+ chains have been indexed, and we will continue to grow along with the ever-expanding Web3 ecosystem.

We index blockchains that are in high demand by the developer community, and we are proud to now officially release our suite of products for the Fantom chain, which is highly desired by budding entrepreneurs who are looking to build their products on blockchains. The end-point integrations offered by Unmarshal are not just limited to APIs, but include other data avenues like webhooks and websockets, to accelerate product development. Unmarshal also offers subsidiary products such as data visualization dashboards and real-time notifications, which will assist businesses, institutions, and individual investors in harnessing the power of Web3 data and making smarter market judgments.

About Fantom Network

Fantom’s mainnet launch was back in December 2019. It was designed to be a fast, scalable, and secure Layer-1 platform compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It has seen rapid growth since then, despite the rising competition in the Layer1 blockchain space.

With a TVL of $1.59 billion at the time of writing (as per DeFi Llama) , and over 250+ dApps deployed on the network including DeFi protocols, NFT Marketplaces, P2E Gaming platforms, Wallets, Launchpads, Cross-chain Bridges, Oracles, Decentralized Payment Interfaces, and many more, Fantom continues to grow in popularity.

The consensus mechanism used is unique, known as the Lachesis aBFT protocol. It ensures that transaction finality is achieved within a second on average, thus making the network fast, scalable, and highly decentralized while keeping it secure.

Fantom is fully compatible with Ethereum. Developers can create and deploy smart contracts as they would on Ethereum.

🛠Unmarshal’s Fantom integration

These are the key endpoints that are part of the integration with Fantom Network.

  1. Smart Notifications API to give at-a-glance alerts of transactions on smart contracts across devices.
  2. Wallet Balance API to tracks users’ asset balances.
  3. Transaction History API tracks all asset transfer events within the Fantom blockchain.
  4. Decoded Transaction API provides an in-depth description of a particular transaction.
  5. Token Store API searches by token contract address, this endpoint fetches exhaustive information about the token.
  6. Tracking/Event Stream tracks transactions in real-time without data loss.

Fantom’s integration into Xscan

Xscan is a universal aggregated blockchain explorer developed in-house and powered by Unmarshal APIs. In the coming days, we will also be adding support to Fatom for wallet explorers in the network to track their portfolios on a single platform.

“We are thrilled that Unmarshal has chosen to integrate Fantom. Unmarshal’s tools give builders on the Fantom network unparalleled access to the analytics and data they need to optimize their dApps and drive user adoption.”
Michael Kong, CEO Fantom
