Building visually compelling and functional websites is a heavy task. Especially if we are building a decentralized NFT marketplace in the Polkadot ecosystem. Let’s enter the realm of technological brilliance and prepare to be dazzled by the transformative power of Kodadot’s tech stack. Behind the scenes of this trailblazing entity lies a symphony of cutting-edge tools and frameworks harmoniously orchestrated to fuel our vision. Since we have written our first technical article about KodaDot, we added a...

In the context of non-fungible tokens, the Polkadot ecosystem is special. Each parachain has its own implementation and uses a different approach. But the ecosystem grows only when other builders make awesome apps on top of it. We took it as a challenge in KodaDot to create a one-stop shop API for the multi-chain NFTs. Fetching data with Uniquery is super easy 💜 The heart of KodaDot’s data storage is Subsquid, the fastest blockchain indexer for Substrate and EVM, which offers GraphQL API for the data. S...

As the blockchain is an append-only ledger, we need to save somehow and manage the state to show all the historical interactions of the non-fungible tokens. Using indexers that can save and process (extrinsic, on-chain events) block by block in a decentralized manner is a huge win for developers and users who benefit from the sleek UX.
