PINAX's new 'Block Time' service - evolving from block numbers to calendar dates
Étienne Donneger will show you the 'Block Time' service, which facilitates data retrieval using a specific date instead of a block number.
The service relies on a key-value (KV) store, paired with a substream synchronization tool to pull data from substreams.
Users will benefit from multiple query options, from pinpointing block numbers by date to narrowing down to a specific date range. Simplifying access to historical data, "Block Time" provides customization for different applications.
Explore the GitHub repository to gain deeper insights and make your own block-time based service.
