🛠️Tools

Enough talk, let's take a look at some BlockTools!

Our POC production line

Tip: Higher degree of success is attainable by "enhancing" your knowledge of the below tools and adding to them, as opposed to just using them.

Sniper

Long before automated sniping products were a thing, a few guys got together and built an awe-inspiring system of hardware and code that ran on auto-pilot at a time when people struggled to use Uniswap manually!

Today we bring that knowledge and power to you, absolutely free to use and build, and buy over at the Shop if you prefer an off-shelf solution right out of the gates!

The trading tools market today has exploded, almost all have gone down the route of gas wars, utilizing bundles to get ahead, adding more fuel to the competition fire!

A downside is most snipers out there require the use of a PK and charge users a fee for using them. The irony of this, is that a monthly capex for hardware and a few python scripts (with one or in rare cases 2 solidity smart contracts) is all a user needs to get his own bot. We will distribute educational content via tutorials that will help any user to build and manage his own Trading Bot.

To begin with, a simplified sniper is already provided for your benefit. This requires no PK, therefore you remain in control of your funds at all times, further more, you only trade in WETH, and also get to approve exactly how much WETH you want the sniper to spend, allowing for a very high degree of control and privacy over your wallet and its contents. Additionally existing tools have been found to be cumbersome for newcomers, and are a barrier of entry for those without a nuanced understanding of this space.

The temporary trade-off? Lack of anti-rug and the need to "confirm" the transaction on your wallet. We use the word temporary here because as the lessons progress, we will introduce you to managing your own hardware and software thereby adding these features where you control your entire setup by yourself including sniffing the mempool.

But it must be slow then? Aside from being the first step in our own successful journey couple of years ago, this same contract was successfully able to snipe a token 5 times in the same block in testing this week on ETH Mainnet!

Let's slow it down:

Demo on BASE chain done with "suggested" gas and performed at slower ticks so that you can see the functions in action clearly. Note, BASE is superquick per block. The key here, is no PK! The user maintains full control (inclusive of choosing how much WETH to approve.

The same transaction, with a pre-approved WETH of let's say 1 WETH performed quickly would see much higher results, as we will see in our demo videos and tutorials

That's 4 transactions in 20 seconds, across 10 blocks, on a "slowed" down interface.

Want 8 transactions in the same time on BASE? Just crank up the gas and move the mouse quicker!

Or how about 4 transactions in the same block on ETH?

0 Fees. Enjoy yourselves! Is it multichain? Yes, any EVM, but we are sticking with BASE, ETH, ARB for now as that is where the juice is. If other chains (such as Avalanche, BSC or any other) pick up it is a matter of deploying the contract and connecting the front end for it.

Does it work on Testnet? Yes, you can deploy a token on Goerli and try it yourself. How do I use it? A. Visit Blocktools.org/sniper

B. Choose the chain (currently set to ARB, BASE, ETH)

C. Click the approve Button to confirm WETH (put in your desired amount)

The above are one time activities unless you use different wallets or have used up the approved WETH in trades and need to approve more.

If using the same wallet, once you are comfortable you can approve a larger amount of WETH and run it. For example, Approving 0.5 WETH and using it to snipe 0.05 of Tokens allows you 10 continuous trades without needing to approve more.

Yes, you can approve the Sniper CA directly on the WETH contract on etherscan too if you prefer to. It's just easier to use the baked in Approve button. Next:

Enter Token Address you want to snipe
Enter the amount of ETH you want to buy for (future enhancement will carry option for fixed amounts)
Enter the wallet address you want to send the tokens to
SNIPE!

Can I sell the tokens? In future iterations yes, as mentioned earlier, the educational journey will cover all aspects of BOT usage culminating in a fully equipped off the shelf automated sniping tool built by you for you.

This is just to get you familiar with "how stuff works" and begin your journey.

IMP: This is a 100% slippage sniper, therefore apply common sense and utilize it only at launch. Using it on a dead 0 tax token will turn you into Jareds breakfast. Future iterations will provide slippage control and rug sniff measures introduced slowly. We turned them off for now because it's just more fun to use.

PRO TIP: Sniping a launch never requires more than $40 to $80 give or take.

BASE MAINNET SNIPE on Token "BALD

Sample Transaction: https://basescan.org/tx/0xc21f4b21012857570c9cf9582668f5f363f0eb73bd198c978760778c3efe7315

Note: This works across all EVM chains including testnets, there is no difference in functionality. Meanwhile go ahead and use it on BASE, ARB, ETH if you like!

Chat

On-chain messaging is under-rated. Those who use it know the value of it. BlockTools brings you arguable the simplest on-chain messenger in the market today.

Is it multi-chain? Yes, use it on any EVM, including testnets.

Is there a charge? No, BlockTools does not charge anything although some other service providers do. You pay only whatever is the gas fees at that point in time on the network you are on. If you are chatting with friends it is better to use a low cost gas chain or even just testnets (Goerli, Sepolia etc). Is it private? No, this is on-chain messaging so everyone can see what you have sent, therefore be nice, or not, is up to you. What can I use it for? Chat with friends, complain to all your token Devs because "price down". Tell Vitalik you love him. It's up to you.

Is it safe? Yes, the server was double-vaxxed before deployment and always wears a mask. On a brighter note, there is no smart contract involved here or approvals from your wallet, it is just a send transaction from you to someone.

Will I see replies? Not at the moment, tutorials and educational content will see us build this together for yourself. Thereby creating an on-chain open-source social media interface.

Prototype conversion to a regular messenger:

Can be expanded to include group chats, or turned into a mobile app. Easy switch to choose between on-chain or in-window, and ability to use on testnets or cheaper EVMs.

NO smart contract.

How do I see my message? Future iterations will include capturing the event log and displaying it on the UI however for now you can just open the send transaction on Etherscan and look under "more details" -> "input data" -> "view as UTF-8"

Do I need to convert text to hex? No, unlike most other offerings you do not need to run around looking for convertors. Just type your message out, put the recipient address and hit Chat. How do I use it:

A. Go to Blocktools.org/chat

B. Connect wallet

C. Type in your message

D. Paste the recipient address

E. Click Chat.

BASE MAINNET

ETHEREUM MAINNET

Go ahead and try it on other chains and on testnets!

Dashboard

This is again an early iteration of what will be a heavily enhanced portal consisting of a users native balance, Tokens, NFTs and include a ticker tape for the latest Cryptocurrency prices and charts in addition to News and much more.

Yes it is also multi-chain like everything else in BlockTools.

You can also play with the faux credit card, we think it looks pretty cool.

Access it via: https://www.blocktools.org/workshop

YOUR DASHBOARD (Customizable for token holdings, NFTs, transactions and more!):

Sample with ETH

Sample With TOOLS gating

TOOLS Token-gated access to Blocktools Workshop

Workshop enhanced:

Addition of a multi-chain Live new pairs section.

Addition of TOOLS pulse check and 5 latest transactions performed on TOOLS

Trading View charts provisioned

Upon signing in you will be welcome by this faux credit card with a spinning ETH logo containing your address, your wallet ETH balance and the date, all procured via chain.

Additions to this will be to have a "searchable" page that displays all your tokens and NFTs apart from usual industry standard dashboard features.

Why sign in? You are in Web 3 using a product based website. That's how it works on the regular web too except you might be prompted for an email. We collect and store no personal information, the sign in allows you to access your Dashboard where you can see information pertaining to your on-chain interactions.

Does this mean I cannot use the site without signing in? No, you can still visit all the other pages of the website (provided in the "What is Where" section. Only the dashboard page requires a mandatory wallet connection without which it cannot load your info. Important to note that although you can visit all other sections of the site without signing in, you will not be able to use the products itself without eventually connecting your wallet, as that is a pre-requisite for interaction on-chain.

What can you do with the Dashboard as a TOOLS Holder? Take a look:

First cut beta:

Blocktools users who have 1 TOOLS or more will be able to:

View Earnings: redistributed via Product Sales and Referrals
View Referrals: only successfully converted referrals will show, Product Sales
View Airdrops: as applicable for any Launchpad project that chooses to reward our Community
View Whitelists: this will apply across the board for access to all Blocktools Launchpad projects
View Proposals: Track the progress of your Proposal submission to the DAO. Note, to Propose requires minimum 1000 TOOLS. Voting is limitless, even 1 TOOLS is sufficient to cast vote.
Staking: opens 28th August, is an important tollgate to interact with the workshop, maximizing value
Generate Fresh Wallets: For sniping or multiple quick token transfers
Track TOOLS Pulse for volatility
Track last 5 transactions on TOOLS
Track 500+ top Crypto Prices with Charting by Trading View
Track live new pairs across ETH, BASE, ARB, BSC
Track live socials feed from the Blocktoolbox Twitter
A Fiat on-ramp via Bit2Me has been given to quickly top up crypto needs!
AI Analytics remains WIP and on track for release on Wk1 September.

In the interest of trader convenience a majority of these are accessible to traders across the board regardless of being TOOLS holders. Holders remain gated for various BLOCKTOOLS specific interactions pertaining to revenue share, staking, whitelists etc.

Vaults

This is an early iteration of what will be a heavily enhanced vault portal consisting of lockers, vesting units, yield farms and staking pools.

For now a multi-chain liquidity locker (yes also compatible with BASE) is deployed at Blocktools.org/vaults

2 x Live locks for the TOOLS token done post launch

Yes it will also be multi-chain like everything else in BlockTools.

How do I use it?

Go to: Blocktools.org/vaults and choose your chain

A. Enter the LP-Pair 0x address

B. Choose the amount you want to lock

C. Choose the Day, Month

D. Choose the time for unlock

E. Approve the Lock

F. Lock.

G. Click Claim fees to collect 1% of the LP every 24 hours - A unique feature designed to help Devs support projects while also allowing holders to remain safe

Many a times projects die out due to paucity of funds and locked liquidity preventing any holistic usage of available liquidity although bootstrapped. The Claim Fees function will allow Project teams to collect a portion of the LP as fees every 24 hours (can be modified for % as well as tenure depending on the need of the respective project!)

To unlock:

If the lock tenure has elapsed just enter the Token Address, click Unlock and proceed.

DAO

A V1 DAO has been made available for the community to engage with Blocktools at a deeper level and learn more about decentralization.

Find the governance portal at Blocktools.org/dao

How to use it?

Approve the DAO CA to spend your TOOLS (this is needed to submit proposals and vote)
If you want to create Proposals you will need to submit 1,000 Tools (1% of TOOLS Supply) to the CA in order to be granted approval
Once submitted you can setup your proposal
A simple Yes-No mechanism has been used for voting. Once you have approved the DAO CA you need only to submit the tokens you want to vote with to the CA. For example you have 500 TOOLS but you want to provide 50 votes, you need to submit 50 TOOLS to the DAO in order to be able to vote
Once your Votes have been supplied you can click vote and record your vote
Once voted, you are free to retrieve your Tokens
Each proposal lasts for 3 days and requires 50%+ in order to pass (a tie requires a re-vote)

Warning: This V1 has been provided bearing in mind todays investors are reluctant to hold a token for more than an hour. Anyone found gaming the system by retrieving Tokens and submitting via different wallets will find the Proposal dissolved and a V2 quickly initiated that will require locking tokens for the entire duration!

Multichain:

For customers who are interested, yes it is multichain and compatible with BASE, ARB, other EVMs, setup time in minutes.

Wallet Generator

A V1 Wallet Generator has been made available for the community to engage with Blocktools at a deeper level and learn more about interacting with Wallets

How to use it?

www.Blocktools.org/sniper or www.Blocktools.org/workshop
If you want to fork a basic version of it, the boiler plate is here: https://github.com/BlockToolBox/walletgenerator

Add a vanity generator to it- This is for users who want to try their luck finding a unique address such as 0xdead... or 0xc0ffee etc
Add multi-wallet creation to it- This is for users who might require for example 10 wallets to snipe a Token or NFT or for multi transfers!

Warning: This V1 has been provided as is, interacting with PKs and Wallets requires a secure environment and utmost care should be taken to ensure your browser is not compromised or you do not leave your PK lying around somewhere in plain sight!

Multichain:

For anyone interested, yes it is multichain and compatible with BASE, ARB, other EVMs

General:

The above are full fledged POCs that are multichain compatible and work right out the gate with a setup time in the minutes!

For reasons of management overheads and overkill we did not POC every item in the Blocktools.org/shop, we will however continue to roll out the POCs for these products too as and when applicable!

For obvious reasons a basic version of all has been provided free for use, with an eye on offering advanced versions to discerning customers at a fair price!

More advanced solutions are available to those who want something customized and personal.

One of the biggest drivers for project shutdowns apart from holder apathy, is the overheads inclusive of burning marketing budgets quickly. Optimal Opex and Capex utilization are underrated as Projects tend to overdo what is needed, or cut corners because they found it beyond budget.

Say hello to cloud based solutions that bring your go to market down to hours (in some cases minutes!) with out of the box solutions, deployable in few clicks, hosted on solutions ranging from Webflow to EditorX or Wordpress all offering extensive DDOS and other security features, along with quicker pilot times.

Mucking about on React and Angular is useful and helps build knowlege, however leveraging available tools to focus on what is "priority" in your critical path will help you bridge the capital (money and human) gap quicker.

Consider the time it would take to develop a Staking Dapp or NFT project from scratch, inclusive of front end/back end setup, testing, launch, and everything in between. Now consider an out of box solution that saves you time, money, and a lot of frustration, allowing you to focus on your actual product (whether the token itself or the NFT art for example). The money saved here could be put to good use elsewhere for long-term sustenance of your project!

Add free Audits (if using Blocktools Tech) and KYC, and you have a dish out of a Michelin 5 star!

There you have your Staking Dapp designed with your tokenomics, or your NFT smart contract and minting site, ready to go in hours (or minutes, depending on customizations), while you can focus on marketing, setting up your art by unleashing your creativity, or anything else! Why? because you got your Secure Dapp, front end connectivity, audited smart contracts, working right out of the gate!

Expand Staking Dapp and NFT examples to anything on-chain and you get the Blocktools drift.
