Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v0.1.0

alkanes metaprotocol

Readme

alkanes

Tests Publish

TypeScript repository for ALKANES metaprotocol testing and development, within client side applications.

The ALKANES specification is hosted at 👉🏻👉🏼👉🏽👉🏾👉🏿 https://github.com/kungfuflex/alkanes/wiki

NOTE: ALKANES does not have a network token

Protocol fees are accepted in terms of Bitcoin and compute is metered with the wasmi fuel implementation, for protection against DoS.

Installation

Install docker-ce with docker-compose. On Debian-based systems, a proper installation of docker-ce will include a docker-compose binary at /usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose.

A complete environment for alkanes development against a live web application can be initialized in one command, invoked at the root of the project:

docker-compose up -d

This will launch a Bitcoin regtest instance, a keydb backend for a database, a metashrew process, and a metashrew-view process, preloaded with the alkanes.wasm binary produced from the Rust crate hosted at https://github.com/kunguflex/alkanes-rs.

Usage

A complete example of metaprotocol usage is demonstrated in the sources within integration/

To run the live end-to-end tests, simply invoke the following commands with the docker orchestration running in the background.

ts-node integration/scripts/init.ts
ts-node integration/genesis.spec.ts

This will deploy a supplementary copy of the DIESEL token and call a view function to read the total supply of the asset.

The program flow in integration/genesis.spec.ts is the same set of logic and library usage that could be done against a mainnet Bitcoin application on ALKANES, or any other BTC compatible deployment, within a frontend application.
