Protofire builds SDKs, APIs, launch kits, web and mobile components, and other developer tools, which help to speed up app integration, increase development efficiency, and allow for faster deployment of better products. With these tools, ecosystems have greater control and reduced risks during the development process.
We conceptualize and ideate your development tool’s architecture, implementation, and productivity.
We build a tool prototype to show what it may look like and make necessary changes.
We develop the tool based on the agreed prototype under your supervision, known schedule, and budget.
We carry out quality assurance procedures to ensure all features of the solution work as intended.
We deploy your developer tool to the designated environment under your control, following the technical requirements.
We maintain the solution, the features, and the related infrastructure and will trigger you if certain decisions are required.
Software development kits (SDKs) are collections of software development tools compiled in one installable package. They facilitate the creation of applications by having a compiler, debugger, and software framework. SDKs are usually specific to a hardware platform and operating system combination.
A decentralized exchange, or DEX, is a type of cryptocurrency exchange that allows for direct peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions without an intermediary. Some examples of DEXes are Uniswap, Curve, and PancakeSwap. There are also centralized exchanges, or CEXes, which happen to have an intermediary company to custody user funds, such as Binance, Coinbase, and Huobi.
API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. Each time you use an app like Facebook, send an instant message or check the weather on your phone, you’re using an API.
Toolkits, also known as Launch Kits, are software development frameworks that make writing-specific applications easy to use. A toolkit is a set of tools that makes it easier to build, launch, and manage applications. Toolkits encompass learning tools, ready-made app files, sample applications, workplace source code, and documentation.
Application components are essential for building blocks of an app. Each component is an entry point through which the system or a user can enter an application. Some components are dependent on other components.
Developed by Protofire with Ethereum Foundation grants, Solhint is an advanced linter for detecting syntax-related security vulnerabilities in the Solidity-based code underlying smart contracts in Ethereum. This open-source solution provides security and style guide validation under a set of rules.
Solhint is integrated seamlessly into most mainstream integrated development environments or IDEs. The solution is flexibly configurable and extendable while staying unobtrusive. Solhint’s user experience is similar to any other language linters. Solhint is an active project of Protofire, it is maintained and regularly updated with new features by the development team.
Eth-cli is a collection of CLI tools and commands that help users to develop dApps for Ethereum and interact with contracts deployed in any blockchain network. Eth-cli helps users to learn the under-the-hood mechanisms of Ethereum and start developing right away. Eth-cli allows users to fetch data from the blockchain, start an interactive REPL connected to a node, and call methods on deployed contracts, all through a command line. This toolset enables users to interact with contracts in any network regardless of how they were initially deployed. The solution is under continuous development and feature list expansion.
