Idea: use smart contract sanctuary

[mraniki]

Not sure how feasible it is but it will be cool to be able to get data stored here https://github.com/tintinweb/smart-contract-sanctuary so that we can reduce api etherscan type dependency.

Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. tintinweb/smart-contract-sanctuary is a large repo for store smart contract. For this repo, we only store a little useful abis or simple chain info structures for web3 developer using python. But I can try to add some functions to access smart contract codes from that repo.

yeah, i'm thinking of a function like getabi (XYZ) and if you dont store XYZ contract the only way to get the data is thru etherscan api call or use a generic abi for stablecoin/standardcoin ? so if we could use a separate data source for non critical info such as the sanctuary or something else? btw, the chain structure in https://github.com/ethereum-lists/chains/blob/master/_data/chains/eip155-10.json could be helpful for the chain taxonomy.

Yes, your proposal is excellent, but there are a few minor issues. For instance, when converting the code from the sanctuary library to ABI, we need to use solc. However, for different versions of solidity code, solc requires a corresponding compiler. It is not practical for users to download multiple compilers. Currently, I have not found a satisfactory solution for parsing solidity code. Do you have any suggestions? Additionally, the use of ethereum-lists/chains JSON files will be incorporated into our future update plans.

Thanks for the feedback. not sure for solc, let me dig that up.

Maybe another source for Abi that could be use as-is: blob:https://www.codeslaw.app/a4054317-1c3d-4eb6-8a23-0993083d120e
