Thinkful API Capstone Proposal
Melon Protocol (melonprotocol.com) is a fund management platform built on the Ethereum blockchain.
Melon was released earlier this year and allows anyone to launch a fund on the blockchain.
At present, there is no way to easily see a list of live funds on the platform.
For the API capstone, my app will talk to the blockchain through the Infura.io API, and retreive a list of funds on the Melon platform.
Users will be able to see the state of the Melon fund ecosystem and track fund performance, without having to run specialized blockchain software.
Users can input a search string to only display matching funds (by name).
Users can click on a fund to view more details such as fees and number of investors (causes additional API calls).
Additionally, the app will use the Messari.io API to get the current market price of cryptocurrencies, so users can see fund balances in terms of US dollars.
I have already prototyped and tested API calls to ensure I can get the needed data.
