May 15, 2024 - Building on the momentum of our previous Scroll Expedition, DapDap introduced our new Odyssey campaign ‘Blast Gold Rush’ earlier this month. Odyssey Vol. IV is centred entirely around our recent integration of Blast (L2), showcasing the remarkable power and flexibility of Decentralised Front-end-as-a-Service (DFaaS) through DapDap’s curated, user-friendly front-ends for an array of popular dApps.

Composability via DapDap’s DFaaS enables users to interact with multiple dApps through a single, unified interface, without compromising on security or functionality.

Context: Blast is a new Ethereum scaling solution aiming to change the way users interact with Web3 in a more sustainable way. It does this by offering native yield on ETH and stablecoins, ensuring that assets on Blast will grow automatically over time. Essentially, this means that Blast is designed at the protocol level to foster a thriving on-chain DeFi economy.

The Future of DeFi: Composable, User-Centric Gateways

At DapDap, our core mission is to streamline Web3 interactions by aggregating and simplifying access to a wide range of decentralised applications (dApps). Powered by NEAR, DapDap stands out as the first consumer-oriented Open Web gateway to offer a series of seamless, modular, and decentralised front-end experiences on Ethereum.

The composable nature of DapDap’s front-end solution is what has made us champion DFaaS as a core product — granting our users and partners the ability to interact with multiple dApps through a single, unified interface, without ever compromising on security or functionality.

Curious to learn more about DFaaS? Check out our previous blog of DapDap’s integration of Scroll, which explores the importance between smart contract vs. front-end aggregation, as well as DapDap’s implementation of Uniswap on Linea, which explores custom, dedicated, FE solutions for our close partners.

Leveraging NEAR JS on DapDap to Enhance the Blast DeFi Ecosystem

DFaaS unifies DapDap’s core product, making it a game-changer for enhancing user engagement, particularly when it comes to improving navigation of the Blast ecosystem. This is because NEAR is more than just a protocol or a decentralised front-end solution; it represents a full-stack approach to the Open Web, enabling DapDap to create a seamless, secure, and highly composable user experience on Ethereum.

Here are ways that DapDap fundamentally enhances UX for the Blast ecosystem:

1. Unified Experience: Aggregation of multiple DeFi dApps, resulting in a single and comprehensive journey for users to earn Blast Gold and Points; our gateway lets users directly interact with various dApps without the need for multiple logins or interfaces, ensuring a smooth and cohesive experience throughout their journey.

2. On-Chain Verification: DapDap FE code is stored on-chain which allows users to verify the source code of each dApp, ensuring transparency and security. This feature is crucial for maintaining trust in the Blast ecosystem, as users can be confident that the dApps they interact with are secure and unaltered.

3. Enhanced Security: With front-end source code stored on-chain, DapDap enhances security against DDoS attacks and ensures censorship resistance, keeping the platform accessible at all times.

4. Composable Components: The modular nature of DapDap allows for tailored integration and customisation of dApp components. This flexibility is what enables us to deliver customised front-ends for Blast’s diverse range of dApps, optimising for user onboarding and functionality.

The Future of Composable Web3 Gateways

As we continue to explore the potential of DFaaS, the future of composable gateways looks incredibly promising. The ability to create modular, interoperable components using NEAR JS that can be easily integrated across multiple blockchain ecosystems opens up many new possibilities for innovation and user engagement at scale.

Potential Future Developments

• GameFi on DapDap: on-chain games like fantasy.top have recently seen impressive traction on Blast; these games could be built into DapDap’s aggregated UI

• Enhanced Middleware Solutions: development AI-powered data aggregation and search functionalities can improve on-chain data accessibility and usability

• Analytics and Portfolio Services: deep integration of on-chain analytics alongside DeFi dApps can let users manage and analyse important market and portfolio data directly within the DapDap gateway
