Ape has you covered: All about coverage (Part 2)
Ape has you covered: All about coverage Part 2Before you start delving into the practical aspects, it is essential to understand the concept of code coverage. If you are unfamiliar with coverage, we recommend referring to our first article on the subject. The latest update, version 0.6.13 of Ape and version 0.6.9 of ape-vyper, introduces the coverage support exclusively for Vyper contracts. However, since Ape is a plugin based framework, this system facilitates adding coverage support for oth...

How to Build a Crypto Project like an Aerospace Engineer
Within Crypto, I don’t think there’s a single truism more often stated than “we should build smart contracts like airplanes, not iPhone apps!” In fact, just the other day someone shared this with me: Jesse Walden @jessewldn Building onchain is more like hardware engineering than software; like building an airplane, it has to work every time. Ship fast, break things doesn’t apply. It’s under appreciated how this impacts time to, and number of shots at finding PMF. 461 6:45 AM • Jul 25, 2023 Bu...

Cover Your Ass
…or, what coverage is, and what it isn’t Code Coverage is a simple and (for some reason) controversial topic. Ask any group of developers, and you’re likely to get many conflicting opinions on how to do it properly. Some will say “well 100% or bust”, others will say it doesn’t matter at all. Some absolute crackpot (totally not me) may come at you with a line like “well actually, there’s between 7-13 different types of coverage, depending on how you measure it”, and what’s wild is that they wo...

Introducing Silverback
A Platform for Web3 BotsThe decentralized web is inexhaustibly and unrelentingly connected. It was designed to provide an open architecture to build the next iteration of the internet, one that was more permanent, more accessible, and less discriminatory to its users. It has no concept of nationality, race, ethnicity, sex, class, gender, age, or political correctness. Hell, it has no concept of a “bedtime”. At the core of this hyper-connected, decentralized new world are high-value full-stack...

Streaming Crypto Payments for Off-chain ServicesWhat’s this? Yet another streaming payments system? Yes, but we swear there’s a good reason we built and open sourced a new one!Why A New Protocol?When building cHaOSneT we realized that we had a decision to make: did we want to go the Web 2.0 way and use traditional login and payment processing, or did we want to go full Crypto-native and try to build something new? https://mirror.xyz/apeworx.eth/mIKYEt54RgNs7R12Np1vEyp8z5HuBKBdCjCWqrnNfe8 Of c...
