AAVE Delegates
đź‘» Start:
AAVE Delegates was a website showing stats for governance delegates of the Aave protocol. This was at a time when the actual governance UI didn’t show much information (although I’m not sure the official UI even shows all of this information yet as of 2024?).
I learned a ton about how to interact with crypto rails but the project never went anywhere other than a learning exercise.
Some tech used:
- Next.js - static website
- The Graph - to fetch blockchain data
- ethers.js - I initially tried fetching data “manually” by calling the actual smart contracts on the blockchain but then discovered it was much easier (and I could get more data) using an indexer like The Graph.
- GitHub workflows - to rebuild the static site using new data once a day
- Tailwind CSS - styling
