24 alternatives to 0xFast – Faster Web3 APIs

Excited to showcase 0xFast to HN! Built using a new indexing system designed for Web3 data, 0xFast outperforms the most popular web3 API platforms, while also being 3x cheaper.

0xFast provides Web3 APIs built on a new indexing system for blockchain data. It is designed for developers building on blockchain platforms who need faster API performance and lower costs. The service claims to… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. 0xFast – Faster Web3 APIs launched in 2022; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Getting web3 data out of Ethereum nodes or node services is excruciatingly slow (at least days if not weeks). I had wanted a way to just download the blocks quickly since I started exploring the web3 space. Took me a bunch of trial and errors to get to a way where I can parse all the blocks since genesis within 12 hours. But, instead of moving on to the next thing, I put this service together over the last few days, so everyone can benefit.

    A few months ago, I benchmarked FastAPI on an i9 MacBook Pro. I couldn't believe my eyes. A primary REST endpoint to `sum` two integers took 6 milliseconds to evaluate. It is okay if you are targeting a server in another city, but it should be less when your client and server apps are running on the same machine. FastAPI would have bottleneck-ed the inference of our lightweight UForm neural networks recently trending on HN under the title "Beating OpenAI CLIP with 100x less data and compute". (Thank you all for the kind words!) So I wrote another library. It has been a while since I have…

    I love Streamlit but have run into many situation where taking it from PoC to MVP state is insurmountable. With all the recent HN hype around htmx and sematic html / classless css I decided to build a Streamlit alternative using these on top of FastAPI. This has a couple advantages: 1) easier to extend when you move past PoC since the FastAPI app is exposed (allowing adding more routes) and hstream acts more like a typical web stack 2) with htmx and html (plus MVP.css) doing the heavy lifting the package is alot less complex and easier to reason about - and hopefully more performant…
