The problem Quicktics solves

1. Difficulty in Accessing and Analyzing Blockchain Data
Blockchain data is highly fragmented and technical, making it challenging for users to access and analyze on-chain data meaningfully. Most users, particularly those without coding skills, find it difficult to navigate existing platforms that require SQL knowledge or offer complex interfaces. This limits accessibility for non-developers, businesses, and crypto investors who seek simpler data access tools.

2. Lack of Customizable, User-Friendly Dashboards
Existing platforms like Dune provide advanced analytics but are primarily designed for developers capable of writing SQL queries. Casual users and businesses often want to create customized dashboards with specific data visualizations without needing technical setups or query writing. This gap in user-friendly interfaces restricts general Web3 users and non-developers from fully utilizing on-chain data insights.

Summary

Quicktics solves these challenges by providing a user-friendly platform for non-technical users to import and analyze blockchain data using QuickNode Functions and Streams API. Users can create customizable dashboards without writing SQL queries, and Avail integration ensures efficient data storage and scalability. This approach opens up blockchain analytics to a wider audience, making it accessible to both casual users and developers looking for simpler, faster tools.

Challenges we ran into

When extracting data from the blockchain, QuickNode functions provide block data directly to your QuickNode function, eliminating the need to set up an RPC. QuickNode currently supports a wide range of blockchains.

When writing a QuickNode function, you can expect to access block data, block data with receipts, and other details as needed. Within these functions, you can filter for specific contract addresses, transactions based on their data, and return only the necessary information. For example, you might filter for Uniswap swap events, new token releases, or transactions involving a specific account.

Using QuickNode functions saves you from having to find an RPC provider, host your code, and manage server uptime. You can simply process the incoming data and perform any necessary transformations, while QuickNode handles the hosting.

QuickNode Streamer further enhances this setup. Once you've handled data extraction and filtering in your function, Streamer allows you to receive this data per block as blocks are propagated on-chain. You can set up the Streamer to direct this data to a WebSocket, S3 bucket, or database as needed.

This setup allows you to display real-time filtered data directly on your website via WebSocket for seamless, real-time updates.
