Fireblocks' new Developer APIs simplify blockchain app development by offering tools to manage assets, access on-chain data, integrate staking, and soon enable DeFi swaps. With unified access and automation, developers can build faster and more efficiently—no need for custom logic or fragmented data sources.

This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. How to build on blockchain using Fireblocks new developer APIs By Fireblocks. Developers often juggle multiple tools, deal with fragmented data sources, and navigate intricate technical requirements. Fireblocks is simplifying this process with a powerful new suite of APIs that streamline blockchain interactions. Here's what you can do with this new set of APIs to enhance your blockchain applications. Step 1. Manage Asset Data with the Assets API.

Handling asset data across multiple blockchains can be tedious and inconsistent. FireBlox Assets API simplifies this by providing reliable, scalable access to asset information. Using the assets API. 1. Retrieve comprehensive asset data. Get real-time information about token properties, prices, and other essential details. 2. Optimize data queries. Use built-in pagination and filtering to enhance efficiency and speed up asset data retrieval. 3. Standardize asset names and symbols. Ensure consistency across different blockchains and applications. Example use case. If you're building a DeFi platform, you can fetch up to date token data quickly without querying multiple sources. Step 2. Access blockchain data with the blockchain API. Pulling data from different blockchain networks can be complicated.

The Fireblocks blockchain API provides a unified source of truth for network data and on-chain properties using the blockchain API. 1. Retrieve network data from one source. Access on-chain information without relying on multiple blockchain explorers. 2. Monitor real-time operational statuses, stay updated on network availability and transaction processing.

3. Track transactions seamlessly, use address lookups to verify on-chain activity directly within your application. Example use case. If you need to confirm transactions for a crypto wallet, you can use this API to streamline the verification process. Step 3. Simplify staking with the staking API. Staking can be a powerful way to earn rewards, but it often requires custom implementations. Fireblock's staking API makes it easier to manage staking operations across multiple blockchains, using the staking API.

1. Integrate staking seamlessly. One, integrate staking seamlessly, add staking functionality to your application without needing custom code for each blockchain. Two, automate staking flows, enable hands-free staking and rewards management. Three, monitor staking positions in real time, get visibility into your staking activities for better management.

Example use case, if you want to allow users to stake Solana within your app, you can use Fireblocks API instead of building custom staking logic. Step 4. Defy swaps with the swap API, coming soon. Seamless token swaps are critical for defy applications. Fireblocks' upcoming swap API will provide programmatic access to DeFi trading, making an app swaps easier. Using the Swap API 1. Enable in-app token swaps.

Let users trade tokens directly within your platform. 2. Automate swap processes. Reduce manual intervention with streamlined swap execution. Example use case. If you're building a DeFi exchange, you can integrate the Swap API for effortless token trading. Get started today. Ready to simplify blockchain development?
