Blockchain innovation is accelerating, offering new opportunities for developers to create secure applications. However, integrating blockchain infrastructure is getting increasingly complex. With more fragmentation, developers often have to juggle multiple tools, workarounds, and technical intricacies to manage network data, retrieve asset properties, and execute transactions effectively. This slows down innovation, increases operational overhead, and diverts focus from building great products.
At Fireblocks, we believe developers should spend their time creating, not troubleshooting blockchain intricacies. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a powerful new suite of APIs that streamline blockchain interactions, making it faster and easier to develop and deploy blockchain-powered applications. With these new APIs, developers can focus on what they do best—building innovative solutions—while Fireblocks handles the complexity of blockchain infrastructure.
Introducing Fireblocks’ New Developer APIs
Our latest release includes a robust set of APIs designed to abstract complexity, improve reliability, and enhance scalability for blockchain developers. Whether you’re managing assets, retrieving blockchain data, or integrating staking functionality, Fireblocks’ APIs provide a seamless way to interact with blockchain networks.
Assets API: Reliable, Scalable Asset Data Management
Managing asset data across multiple blockchains can be cumbersome, requiring developers to query different sources for up-to-date information. The Fireblocks Assets API simplifies this process by providing a reliable and scalable way to access comprehensive asset data.
Key Benefits:
- Expanded asset properties deliver deeper insights, allowing developers to access more detailed data about assets.
- 4x Faster data retrieval improves application performance by accelerating the response time for asset-related queries.
- Support for pagination and filtering enables more efficient queries, reducing response times and unnecessary data loads.
- Aligned on-chain names and symbols help standardize asset representation across platforms, improving data uniformity.
The fragmented nature of today’s blockchain ecosystem forces developers to grapple with inefficiencies at every turn — from juggling multiple data sources and outdated registries to reconciling inconsistent asset properties across chains. These hurdles not only slow down innovation but also divert critical resources away from building transformative user experiences. We are proud to be part of the development of Fireblocks’ new APIs, and share our technical expertise to help solve these challenges head-on. We believe by powering standardized, real-time asset data across networks, this API upgrade represents a critical step toward unifying the on-chain ecosystem. The partnership with Fireblocks reflects our mutual commitment to simplifying blockchain infrastructure and driving industry-wide progress. We are excited to see how the ecosystem will leverage these tools to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Blockchain API: A Single Source of Truth for Blockchain Data
Accessing blockchain data can be complex, especially when dealing with multiple networks and protocols. The Blockchain API simplifies blockchain integration by providing a unified source of truth for network data and on-chain properties.
Key Benefits:
- Unified access to network data and on-chain properties reduces the need to interact with multiple data sources such as explorer data.
- Real-time operational statuses empower developers to make informed decisions about transaction processing and network availability.
Staking API: Simplified Access to Staking Protocols
Staking presents an exciting opportunity for developers and enterprises to earn rewards on blockchain assets. However, managing staking operations programmatically can be difficult due to network-specific requirements and inconsistent implementations. The Fireblocks Staking API streamlines staking across different blockchains, making it more accessible and manageable.
Key Benefits:
- Programmatic access to Fireblocks’ native staking functionality allows developers to integrate staking seamlessly into their applications.
- Automated staking flows enable efficient, hands-off participation in staking protocols.
- A unified staking interface provides a consistent experience across multiple blockchains, reducing the need for custom implementations.
- Ability to track staking positions in real time ensures transparency and better management of staking activities.
Fireblocks’ Staking API made it incredibly easy to offer staking to 40,000+ customers by building in some of the more complex and cumbersome parts of staking — creating, signing, and broadcasting transactions. They also provide a solution to increase an existing stake, something not possible natively on Solana.
Swap API: Programmatic DeFi Swaps (Coming Soon!)
As DeFi adoption grows, the need for seamless token swaps within applications is more critical than ever. Fireblocks’ upcoming Swap API will offer programmatic access to DeFi swaps, allowing developers to integrate trading capabilities directly into their platforms.
Key Benefits:
- Programmatic access to Fireblocks’ native DeFi swap functionality enables seamless in-app transactions.
- Automated swap flows reduce complexity, allowing enterprises to execute swaps efficiently without manual intervention.
