10tance is a data processor to build virtual worlds from the state of an EVM chain.
The core concept is the translation of an 0x address into a predictable location, giving objects (EOA accounts and contracts) a position and subsequently distance between them.
To each chain its own world. They will be displayed on an interactive 2d map.
If you think the world is flat, I can tell you you are wrong because it is actually a doughnut ! Here they are indeed toruses, east connects with west and north with south :
- it makes the projection as simple as on flat world
- there is no edges like on a sphere world
Same as with classical interactive maps, it will be composed of several layers fitting into two categories :
They could be an addresses density map, market value density. Or a procedurally generated landscape with the actual objects as seeds.
Accounts and contracts shown as interactive locations. Searchable from their standard ERC interfaces, their addresses, their links to other objects
- Started during the ETHGlobal Superhack 2024 event : https://ethglobal.com/showcase/10tance-ggf1f
- Launched as a demo app on https://10tance.vercel.app/ with ERC20 tokens from the Optimism blockchain
Some ideas of what could be build on top of it.
On the serious side of data visualization :
- display metrics in a visual way
- materialize links between contracts : liquidity pools with their tokens, tokens with their holders etc.
- crowd curated directory of contracts
On the fun side of gamification :
- related to the data directory of contracts : a world discovery game where users navigate the map and explore contracts, describing and auditing or incentivize others to do it
- a game to own the closest possible NFT to a sponsor contract
- a game where holding an NFT would spread sovereignty over an area around. Leading to conflict and alliances
- An indexer to get data from the Blockscout API and to compute the virual locations
- A NextJS application to display the map
- A tiles and API backend to generate the map background images and retrieve objects to display them on top
