May 5th, 2021, -112,-108 : Today we at Decentralandalytics are proud to announce a partnership with QuikNode, a provider of blockchain node infrastructure. The team at QuikNode were impressed with our recent audit of Decentral Games roulette table and reached out to us to help us support future audits and other solidity contract analysis. Decentralandalytics will rely on QuikNode to provide access to nodes which power our analytics, consultative services, reports and decentralized gaming audits.

QuikNode.io provides access to cryptocurrency nodes in seconds. They make it simple to power your blockchain applications and scale up as you grow. From elastic APIs & dedicated nodes, to powerful tools & analytics, all at your command through a simple control panel. They currently support Ethereum, Bitcoin, BSC, XDAI, Matic/Polygon, and Optimism nodes. It’s very “quick” to set up an account and be up and running with a node you can use without requiring a lot of technical proficiency (at least before you start interacting with the blockchain(s)).

The partnership with QuikNode comes at a great time. Our investigation into the fairness of Decentral Games roulette implementation is what brought us to QuikNode in the first place. We later learned the queries we performed are slightly different than the typical use cases of hteir customers; instead of building a dApp focused on current blockchain data, our analysis forced us to mine the blockchain itself (pun intended – no hashing was involved!) for the entire history of the roulette contract. This sort of analysis will only grow in scope as we move to audit contracts with longer lifespans, requiring the need for more robust infrastructure. Quiknode was happy to provide this infrastructure and therefore aid the community in allowing future audits to become easier and quicker.

Keep an eye out for future analytics capabilities and gaming audits from us here at Decentralandalytics, powered by QuikNode.
