This week’s Gimbalabs Live Coding session covered Indexers. Grasping their role in the design of applications that interact with and update the Cardano ledger is essential.
“When you build a dapp on Cardano, usually your goal is going to be to facilitate transactions on chain. Because transactions are how we update the state of the ledger.Without transactions, all we’re doing is we’re looking at data. But here’s the thing: for any application, people aren’t going to build transactions without having a reason. So your app has to provide a user experience with enough information so that people will start building transactions in your app, doing the things that you’re trying to facilitate. You’re going to have to present information that’s currently on the blockchain in order to facilitate this.”
