Infura currently supports 11 networks (with more on the way), including Ethereum, IPFS, Filecoin, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, StarkNet, Palm, NEAR, and Aurora, Infura API for Avalanche C-Chain.

Avalanche’s introduction in September 2020 made transactions cheaper, quicker, and more dependable. Avalanche C-Chain focuses only on smart contracts to increase performance, unlike most other blockchains.

The C-Chain is one of three chains comprising Avalanche’s Primary Network, and is also EVM-compatible, allowing for easy Ethereum dapp migration to Avalanche for scale.It features 4,500 transactions per second, lower costs than Ethereum, sub-second finality, and robust security.

Infura has always prioritized developers. Infura reduces the complexity and expense of self-hosting an Ethereum node using a normal JSON-RPC API. Their objective is to expand the ecosystem and help developers create unique apps. Over the last year, they expanded their multi-chain services to help developers wherever they work.

They’re collaborating with Avalanche to provide a robust solution for DeFi dapps.  effortlessly access and connect with Avalanche C-Chain. You may access many networks outside Avalanche C-Chain on your Infura subscription with only one API key. As part of ConsenSys, Infura developers may utilize Truffle, Diligence, and MetaMask to design, test, deploy, and secure dapps.

Aurora also maintains NEAR’s interoperability through the Rainbow Bridge, which facilitates the permissionless transfer of tokens and data between Aurora, NEAR, and Ethereum.

At its core, Aurora addresses the scalability challenges that the Ethereum mainnet faces, while providing Ethereum developers and users a smoother onboarding experience to the NEAR ecosystem.

Key Benefits of Building On Aurora with Infura

Since the Aurora implementation is a smart contract, it has the same benefits as working with the NEAR layer one protocol. Those benefits include:

• Higher transaction throughput, up to 1000x lower transaction fees
• Faster transaction finality
• Horizontal EVM scaling through NEAR’s Nightshade Sharding

What makes Aurora efficient is that devs don’t have to leave the Ethereum network to build on NEAR: smart contracts run on Ethereum transfers effortlessly to NEAR through the Rainbow Bridge. This means devs can deploy to both networks simultaneously.

All the tools Ethereum developers already know work on Aurora. For example, Truffle is still compatible for making smart contract projects, while MetaMask can handle all transactions. And now that Infura offers compatibility with Aurora, devs can build projects with more observability and better security using custom RPC URLs.

About Aurora

Aurora is an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) created by the team at the NEAR Protocol. Aurora provides a similar developer experience to Ethereum on top of the NEAR protocol. Aurora’s EVM compatibility ensures that any project built there can be easily transferred to Ethereum, without having to change a single line of code.

With the beta version of its NFT API, Infura users are able to easily build and verify digital assets. As well as create metadata templates, enabling them to customize and mint NFTs within minutes. In addition to Software Development Kits (SDKs) and interactive tutorials, the NFT API also offers a range of developer resources. ConsenSys Diligence audited all SDK smart contracts to eliminate any code vulnerabilities. Developers can now sign up for the beta release on Infura’s website.

“The NFT API is the perfect onramp for Web 2 and Web 3 developers looking for an end-to-end solution that’s scalable and high-performing,” said Nayana Singh, General Manager of Product at ConsenSys.  “The NFT market is seeing a huge inflow of market demand, even among mainstream developers. We offer a range of tools and information to help bring NFT development to the next level. Our long-term vision is to give developers a comprehensive development platform where they can access and aggregate cross-chain NFT (starting with Ethereum) and mint NFT collections to multiple networks with one integrated product.”

Infura is part of the most comprehensive tech stack in Web3. With the introduction of the NFT API, developers will have access to NFT tools in the ConsenSys stack which include seamless integration with MetaMask, Truffle IDE, Diligence smart contract auditing tools, and the ConsenSys NFT platform. As part of the experience, developers can expect faster iterations, access to NFT metadata and stability.

The post ConsenSys & Infura NFT API Beta Release appeared first on Smart Liquidity Research.

ConsenSys, a market-leading blockchain technology company, is delighted to announce the launch of two highly anticipated product features at NFT.NYC2022, which will streamline Non-Fungible Token (NFT) experiences for developers, crypto funds, market-makers, DAOs, artists and NFTs enthusiasts. The Web3 leader will launch its Beta version of the Infura NFT API and the MetaMask Institutional NFT feature.

The Infura NFT API is an end-to-end solution that makes it easier for developers to build, create, mint, sell NFTs and provide the building blocks that any NFT project would need for an accelerated path to value. To address the increasing demand from organizations to have an holistic breakdown of NFTs held across all accounts and marketplaces MetaMask Institutional (MMI)—a version of MetaMask that integrates institution-required custody, operational efficiency, risk, and compliance features—has launched NFT capabilities within their DeFi and Web3-focused Portfolio Dashboard  for organizations.

ConsenSys pioneering NFT integration since day one

ConsenSys’ products have powered the NFT experience since the very beginning. These disruptive and unique tokens are a paradigm shift for the creator economy, enabling fairer economic terms and artist-owned digital communities. They have gained an immense amount of traction and will potentially grow even more rapidly as major brands and companies adopt them. In 2021, Web3 paid out $174,000 per creator, while Meta paid out $0.10 per user, Spotify paid out $636 per artist, and YouTube paid out $2.47 per channel. An artist can own the relationship with their fans in perpetuity.

Infura NFT API

Infura’s new NFT API along with SDKs and developer tutorials make it easier for developers to easily customize and create NFTs. As well as pull essential data to service end users. It provides developers with tooling specifically targeted at reading information from NFT contracts and writing to or creating all new NFT contracts. This gives developers a streamlined experience for faster iterations, access to NFT metadata, and stability.

MetaMask Institutional, addressing the surge of organizations’ interest in NFTs

MMI also announces the launch of the NFT feature within its portfolio dashboard, providing detailed asset views across a range of metrics. It provides a holistic breakdown of NFTs held across all custodians, accounts, and marketplaces. With this new feature, MMI users gain access to the complete data suite of digital assets.
