Hey builder!

Welcome back to thirdweb weekly, where we highlight how web3 adoption inspires new business models, empowers users to take ownership and disrupts industries across the board.

In today's edition >>>

NEBULA: Support for Swapping, Bridging & more 🤖 

Most generic LLMs don’t have the power to read blockchain transactions, never mind execute them. And they certainly can’t control their own wallets.

That’s why we built Nebula, the most powerful AI to read and write to every EVM chain.

Built on thirdweb’s proprietary blockchain model called t1, Nebula has access to billions of transactions, millions of smart contracts and 2500+ EVM chains via thirdweb's industry leading infra. And we’re not finished adding to its capabilities! Check out the latest updates 👇️ 

Nebula x Unity Integration

We're thrilled to announce the integration of Nebula with Unity, bringing AI-powered blockchain interactions to the gaming world. Developers can now leverage Nebula to create immersive gaming experiences that interact directly with the blockchain.

Support for Token Swaps & Bridging (v0.0.7)

Users can now inquire about token swap or bridging information directly through Nebula. Simply ask, "How much does it cost to swap 1 ETH to USDC?" and Nebula will provide the current rate!

Faster & Smarter AI Model (v0.0.6)

Nebula also got updated to improve response times and accuracy; with an enhanced memory of past conversations allows for more natural and context-aware interactions.

More Developer Control (v0.0.5)

Developers now have greater flexibility with customizable responses, new AI endpoints, and improved context filtering.

We just leveled up thirdweb Insight đź’ˇ 

One of the biggest hurdles for any scaling web3 app is the approach to indexing data. To show assets owned by players or analyze token economics, the app must be able to access, query and transform this data —and do it quickly and cheaply.

Insight is our tool designed to simplify the search and analysis of blockchain data, including transactions, blocks, and events—and it’s just leveled up.

Blocks Data Retrieval (v0.2.2-beta)

We just Introduced a new method to fetch blockchain blocks, allowing for filtering, sorting, and analysis using a straightforward query system.

Improved Handling of Blockchain Reorganizations

Enhanced detection of blockchain "reorgs" ensures that Insight updates its data automatically, maintaining accuracy even when the blockchain undergoes minor historical changes.

Automatic Event & Transaction Decoding (v0.2.3-beta)

Insight now automatically converts complex hexadecimal transaction data into human-readable information, simplifying the understanding of blockchain activities.

Want to index, query and transform blockchain data on any EVM chain yourself? 👇️ 

Storage Improvements 🗄️ 

We've implemented updates to enhance reliability for decentralized file storage via IPFS.

The system now automatically retries failed uploads, reducing manual intervention; and new monitoring tools provide real-time insights into upload success rates and system health.

Universal Smart Wallet Addresses Unlocked 🔓️ 

We've streamlined the experience of using smart wallets across multiple blockchains by introducing Universal Smart Wallet Addresses!

Now, your smart wallet now maintains the same address across all EVM-compatible blockchains, simplifying the development of multi-chain applications.

thirdweb is live on Abstract & Berachain!

Yes! You can now access our entire web3 toolkit on both Abstract and Berachain

Build web3 enabled mobile apps

Our engineers have been building again! Check out this onchain mobile app template, a foundation to build robust and scalable mobile applications that interact seamlessly with blockchain technology.

That's all for this week, folks! Until next time, happy building!
