DropChain Launches API to Accelerate Web3 Development

As its name suggests, DropChain creates a “drag-and-drop” blockchain development experience for web2 developers. With the DropChain API, developers can enhance their web2 applications with web3 functionality using a single line of code.

“Web3 development is prohibitively difficult. If we want web3 to hit critical mass, creating web3 apps has to be just as simple as traditional web2 applications,” said DropChain co-founder Carter Razink. “DropChain will fundamentally change the web3 industry. Developers no longer need to learn an entirely different development skill set. With DropChain, if you can create a traditional app, you can launch a web3 app.”

DropChain will be available free of charge for apps requiring fewer than 300 calls per month. Paid plans are available for $29.99 and $99.99 for 40,000 and 200,000 monthly calls respectively.

Today, the DropChain API and its technology power two applications with over 30,000 users. Niftgen and Odea, use DropChain to seamlessly onboard users without requiring any web3 knowledge - allowing blockchain tech to run quietly in the background.

Passport through the Metaverse - DropChain SSO

Blockchain applications have seen a meteoric rise among particular groups of technologists and brave early adopters. More than a decade in, however, the industry has struggled to onboard those who aren’t quite as tech-savvy. 

As part of DropChain, the team has created a single sign-on (SSO) method that will act as a user’s passport to the metaverse — allowing them to seamlessly log in to their DropChain accounts with conventional web2 sign-in methods. 

For the developers of these apps, the SSO includes infrastructure that will safely store users' most sensitive information.

Two sides of the same coin – DropChain Library

In the coming months, Web3 developers will have the opportunity to contribute to the DropChain Library, a repository of developer-made tools and audited smart contracts. Developers who contribute to the DropChain library will be compensated based on usage by web2 developers and their apps.

At the time of DropChain’s launch, 13 endpoints are available for developers to implement into their web2 applications.
