WalletWatch – a social network for Ethereum wallets
Hey HN, I’m Kamil and one of the two people working on WalletWatch. We recently graduated college and have been getting more into crypto / web3 over the past year. A few of our friends had been getting into crypto more recently, but we noticed that it was hard to actually see what they were doing or natively engage with the transactions they were committing. Products like blockchain.com and etherscan.com were too technical, and products like Context or Zerion lacked key features that make modern products social, such as descriptions, likes, and comments. We built WalletWatch as an…
In plain words
WalletWatch is a social network for following and engaging with Ethereum wallet activity. It allows users to see what their friends are doing on the blockchain and interact with transactions through descriptions, likes, and comments. The platform targets crypto users who find existing blockchain explorers too technical or lacking social features. Authentication happens through wallet signing rather than passwords, and the interface uses usernames for a more familiar experience than traditional blockchain tools.

Hey HN, I’m Kamil and one of the two people working on WalletWatch. We recently graduated college and have been getting more into crypto / web3 over the past year. A few of our friends had been getting into crypto more recently, but we noticed that it was hard to actually see what they were doing or natively engage with the transactions they were committing. Products like blockchain.com and etherscan.com were too technical, and products like Context or Zerion lacked key features that make modern products social, such as descriptions, likes, and comments. We built WalletWatch as an easier, more social, and more fun way to see and engage with your friends’ Ethereum activity. We don’t ask for your email or password, and instead authenticate by asking users to sign a transaction with their Ethereum wallet; we ask for usernames to give a more familiar and user-friendly experience for people that haven’t purchased ENS or other crypto domain names. At the moment, we’re storing user data in Firebase instead of on-chain because the current decentralized channels are too expensive or slow. We consider WalletWatch as pre-alpha. The website only renders in a mobile viewport and isn’t totally visually or computationally optimized, because we wanted to see if people liked this thing enough for us to spend more time making it polished. We’d love any feedback you all have! Please e-mail me at [email protected] or Blockscan Chat me at my address: 0x85eEF00b9a78A993359E94FD3Bcf65e9BDe909FB

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
