《From Resistance to True Fragrance: An Old-School Developer's Journey with Chainbase》
I have to admit, I was skeptical about Chainbase at first. As an old veteran who has been coding since 2017, I firmly believed that a true developer should set up their own nodes. "Using third-party APIs? Isn't that cutting corners?" - until I took on a data analysis project involving three chains: MultiversX (EGLD), Conflux (CFX), and PlatON (LAT).
Reality quickly slapped me in the face. Just synchronizing the MultiversX node took two days, the tree structure of Conflux gave me a headache, and the privacy computing node of PlatON was a resource black hole. A young member of the team quietly suggested, "Boss, why not try Chainbase?" I said "not professional" out loud, but my body honestly clicked on the official website.
The result... it really is a true fragrance, my friends! Not only is there full data for the three chains, but most importantly:
- The staking data for MultiversX is directly accessible without needing to parse the smart contracts myself.
- Conflux's cross-chain transactions have ready-made monitoring interfaces.
- Privacy computing transactions from PlatON can also access de-identified data.
What impressed me the most was their technical support; I posted a question on Discord at 1 AM and someone actually replied! A customer service representative named Lina patiently answered all my questions, which was much more reliable than the official support from some public chains.
Now no one in the team mentions the idea of setting up their own nodes anymore. I have to say, sometimes the experience of old developers can become a burden, and when it's time to embrace change, one must embrace it. Do you have similar "true fragrance" experiences?
