I wish snapchain had an EVM-compliant RPC interface e.g. snaps :: blocks, messages :: logs

Compatibility with things like ponder.sh and viem would make things so much easier from an infra development perspective

its probably too different to solve with a translation layer

no way to get snapchain events by block (i think) for example which is the fundamental building block of evm indexing

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

hmm I feel like I remember talking to @christopher about this. something like the events through that endpoint are pruned after a few days maybe so it doesnt actually work for backfilling? Idk i could be making this all up lol

Blocks aren't meant to really meant to be the way we interact with Snapchain.

It's still event driven with no timestamp validation, so i.e. events are unordered by message.

It's meant to keep us ordered with valid messages after the blocks are confirmed and provide shards so can inevitably scale out.

would quickly check but doesn't look like blocks are exposed over HTTP (according to the docs at least)

afaik the whole point of moving the the blockchain architecture was to make syncing easier? although with the way storage/pruning works maybe that does change the way blocks work
