The problem Contrify solves

Currently, there is no way to get alerts when some event occurs on the Tezos blockchain. Smart contracts are an important aspect of Tezos. So, It makes sense for the people in the Tezos ecosystem to know about new smart contracts being deployed on the mainnet. Many of which can have the potential to be game-changer in the blockchain industry.

Hence, we built this app called Contrify which alerts the users whenever a new unique smart contract is deployed on the Tezos mainnet.

Challenges we ran into

Currently, there are 35k+ contracts deployed on the mainnet. Most of them are delegator contracts, which are of no interest to us. Further, there are 8k+ smart contracts. But most of them are duplicates. Like one smart contract can have hundreds of copies on the mainnet. Getting notifications for all these duplicates is not very useful for anyone.

So, our main challenge was to filter these contracts from tzkt API and generate alerts only for the new unique smart contracts.
