Project Details:
Unmarshal is a multi-chain data infrastructure provider which enables Web 3 . 0 projects to speed up their development through auto-indexing of blockchain networks, dashboard analytics & visualisation, and also enabling personalised experience through notifications & alerts services.
Unmarshal Product Suite
Defi APIs- Along with providing the transactions and wallet balances details as APIs, Unmarshal will also support DeFi users by allowing them to view their wallet balances, asset holdings, DeFi positions (such as LP positions, staking etc) transactions and NFTs and much more.
NFT APIs- Unmarshal also supports the data requirements for NFTs.
NFT Holders by ID
Transactions by Address with pagination
NFT Contract Transactions
NFT details of all tokenIds of a contract
Provides all token ids available for a nft contract
NFT assets by Address with offset based pagination
Notifications- Unmarshal has already built the notifications for the following transactions:
Send
Receive
Add liquidity
Remove liquidity
Approve
Stake
UnStake
Exchange
Parser- No Code Smart Contract Indexer allows users to index events and functions relating to any smart contract to a relational database. Unmarshal Parser supports all EVM based chains. Once decoded and indexed, the data is made accessible through
Metabase Dashboards
GraphQL APIs
We cater both macro & micro level data, and innovating the on-chain data computation industry with our Parser services which serves 70 % of customised use cases of smart contract developers.
What are you building?: We have built the user friendly and required products for the Dapp developers to use it ready.
Why do you believe what you are building is going to succeed?: Developers look for easy way to access data,
Web 3 is still in its infancy, but in the previous two years, there have been more apps developed on various Blockchains, including Optimism. We still think of ourselves as pioneers, and in the next few days, we want to dominate the market as the leading data provider with your team support.
Our founders previously served as consultants for a well-known Dapp aggregator before founding Unmarshal. None of the options they sought to use to solve the issues could precisely meet their needs. That’s when unmarshal was found and is making an effort to solve the data accessibility issue.
Unmarshal would like to index the entire Optimism chain and provide meaningful on-chain data that will enable the Optimism ecosystem of developers to utilise the data End points for their convenience.
Indexing Optimism Chain can be useful for multiple Stakeholders in various ways. Our Solution will be helpful for
Optimism Team: To Provide defi users dynamics and business intelligence, mapping out the next growth sector.
How many users does your project have currently? Please include how you arrived at this estimate: Unmarshal currently supports over 20 different chains namely Ethereum, BSC, Solana, Polygon. Most of our clients are Multi chain clients and we have a track record of bringing multiple clients to the newer ecosystem we support. We have 2 k+ users and we do track of all the user flow on the dashboard analytics created by us to see the performance.
How will receiving a grant enable you to further the mission of maximising the number of users interacting with Optimism? Please include a step-by-step flow of how you imagine this grant can lead to a greater number of user interactions with Optimism:
Unmarshal indexes the blocks on a specified blockchain and provides:
Simple, easy to use data for DeFi apps or for anybody who requires on-chain data.
A plug and play smart customized notification (mobile and browser) service for Dapp users and developers
Integration of chain into a multichain explorer xscan, where Hedera users can track their portfolio along with 5 different chains
Integration to revolutionary no-code smart contract indexer - Parser
Tell us about the users you plan to target with this grant. Include any defining characteristics that will help you identify and target them.:
Dapp developers make up the majority of our users, and we adapt to their demands as needed. Our developer community is growing, and 1500 + Dapps use Unmarshal services focused on user friendliness. The APIs we provide are very userfriendly and way faster compared to other competitors. We have a separate search engine blockchain explorer which can fetch all the details pertaining to any wallet address.
How would these users interact with Optimism? For how long?: Any of the users needs to sign up on the console to get permanent access to API keys. Post which they will be able to hit APIs.

How will the OP tokens be distributed? (please include % allocated to different initiatives such as user rewards/marketing/liquidity mining. Please also include a justification as to why each of these initiatives align with the problem statement this proposal is solving. Distribution should not include the sale of any tokens by the grantee or the use of tokens for compensation, protocol expenses, etc. See the no sale rule here 5 ):
A majority of the raised capital, i.e., 35 %, will be used to upscale the team with new hires.
20 % for international expansion, including hiring, company registration, and setting up an office.
A quarter of the funds will be used for new user acquisitions and growing our ecosystem
The remaining 20 % will be used to upkeep & maintain infrastructure costs and any additional operational costs.
Over what period of time will the tokens be distributed for each initiative?: The received tokens will be utilised within the period of 1 year
Please provide benchmark milestones for this project. These milestones should guide the Optimism community on the progress of your project throughout your work on the project. Do not use distribution of the grant itself as a milestone:
It is estimated that Unmarshal integration will expedite the Dapp development by 40 % by giving all the necessary developer tools for indexing and analytics.
Unmarshal can introduce 1300 + multichain dapps into Optimism ecosystem
Unmarshal’s Xscan can act as a wallet explorer similar to etherscan, bsc scan.
Adapt the Unmarshal framework to incorporate the optimismChain.
The Optimism community will have access to all onchain data by using our services. We will explore opportunities to promode No code indexer parser, so that anyone can use Parser to build analytical dashboards based on smart contracts if they want their own data to be indexed.
Please define critical milestones for this project. Critical milestones are meant to show good-faith efforts to accomplish the project. Non-completion of these milestones could lead to revocation of remaining grant rewards. Do not use distribution of the grant itself as a milestone:
1 .By the end of Q 4 2022 , or three months after the revenue stream begins, we hope to increase partnerships with Dapps and Blockchain. Improve Unmarshal’s product features to expand its user base.
2 .Through a variety of marketing initiatives, email campaigns, and hosting hackathons, we raise brand recognition.
With the aim of significantly exceeding prior quarters by over 50 %, we will leverage social media marketing to encourage sign-ups and boost API users.
If the OP tokens are for direct distribution to users, why will incentivized users and liquidity on Optimism remain after incentives dry up?:
Comparing the performance of Unmarshal’s deployment on the CELO chain.Throughout the first 3 days, we got 1 M+ API calls. Thus, we are sure that optimism may be held to the same standard.Additionally, we would be doing a lot of marketing strategies to increase total user base. Even once the incentive programme ends, we are confident that usage will not decline.
Please provide any additional information that will facilitate accountability (smart contracts addresses relevant to the proposal, relevant organisational wallet addresses, etc.):

Optimism Relationship
Does your project solve a problem for the Optimism ecosystem? If so how?: Data accessibility Issue. Our founders previously served as consultants for a well-known Dapp aggregator before founding Unmarshal. None of the options they sought to use to solve the issues could precisely meet their needs. That’s when unmarshal was found and is making an effort to solve the data accessibility issue.
Why will this solution be a source of growth for the Optimism ecosystem?: Though Blockchain Data is public, its inconsistent and not readily accessible.Accessing the data from blockchain is difficult because of complex data processing needs. We are providing Reliable blockchain data infrastructure that’s composable and easily accessible to Clients( Dapp developers).
Therefore solving the accessibility issue increases the user growth.
Is your project Optimism Native?: No
