A Closer Look at BasilicEVM

Revolutionizing User Experience with Gasless Swaps

One of the standout features of BasilicEVM is its support for gasless swaps, powered by the 0x API v2 and the Tx Relay API. This integration eliminates the friction and complexities associated with gas fees, which are often a significant barrier for users in decentralized exchanges (DEXs). By removing gas-related hurdles, BasilicEVM:

  • Reduces failed trades by up to 85% compared to traditional DEXes.
  • Confirms transactions on-chain an average of one block earlier, enhancing the trading experience.
  • Protects trades from Miner Extractable Value (MEV) attacks, safeguarding users' assets.
  • Simplifies the trading process, reducing drop-offs due to insufficient gas.

For developers, this means fewer user complaints about failed transactions and a more streamlined trading experience, which can directly translate to higher user retention and satisfaction. The implementation is similar to Matcha Auto's, ensuring that your dApp benefits from battle-tested technology.

Comprehensive Blockchain Data Insights

BasilicEVM integrates Codex.io, a powerful tool for managing and analyzing blockchain data, used by industry leaders like TradingView, Matcha.xyz, and Sudoswap. Codex provides:

  • Real-time access to pricing, volume, liquidity, and wallet data across 60+ networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum.
  • Coverage of over 6 million tokens and 1 billion NFTs, giving you access to a vast dataset without the need for custom indexers.
  • Instant insights with real-time and historical charts, helping you make informed decisions based on the latest market trends.

This integration simplifies the development of data-rich applications by eliminating the overhead of infrastructure management. You can build applications that provide deep insights into market behaviors and user activities, enabling your users to make smarter decisions. For developers, this means more time focused on innovation and less time wrestling with data pipelines.

Modern Architecture for High-Performance Applications

BasilicEVM is built on a modern stack that ensures your applications are not only scalable but also performant and secure. Here’s what’s under the hood:

  • Turbo Monorepo and Bun: Efficient management of large-scale codebases and ultra-fast build processes.
  • Biome and Next.js 14: Modern tooling for web projects, ensuring quick iterations, robust server-side rendering, and improved SEO.
  • Tailwind CSS & shadcn/ui: Flexible, utility-first CSS and accessible components for rapid UI development.
  • EVM Integration: Seamless blockchain functionality through viem and wagmi, providing type-safe interactions and React hooks.
  • RainbowKit: Out-of-the-box wallet connection library, offering a polished and customizable UI for connecting to various wallets.

This stack is designed for speed and scalability, supporting everything from rapid prototyping to high-concurrency operations. With clear conventions and AI-assisted development tools like cursor.so and v0.dev, BasilicEVM ensures that your team can maintain high code quality while moving fast.

Building the Future Together

BasilicEVM is on its early stages with a minimal set of features. I invite you to explore the BasilicEVM GitHub repository and contribute to its growth. Whether you're adding new features, improving documentation, or simply experimenting, your contributions are invaluable.
