ChainCatcher news: Hiro Team recently announced the launch of the Chainhooks 2.0 Beta test. Chainhooks is a foundational development infrastructure for the Stacks and Bitcoin ecosystems.
According to Hiro, Chainhooks 2.0 is a complete overhaul based on the experience gained from V1, aiming to address issues in the previous version such as unreliable infrastructure, high maintenance costs, and difficulty in scaling. The new version is built on reliability, with services separated and re-architected for scalability.
Key updates in Chainhooks 2.0 include:
Architecture Overhaul: Services are split and independently scalable to enhance reliability, targeting issues like missed blocks and chainhook failures that occurred in V1.
Streamlined Experience: Offers a RESTful API and a typed Javascript SDK, allowing developers to use webhooks with simple filter descriptions. The service automatically handles queuing, retries, rate limiting, and observability.
Management Features: The SDK and API provide full lifecycle management capabilities, including creation, reading, updating, bulk enabling, and replay evaluation.
Performance Improvements: Initial testing shows increased throughput and lower resource consumption.
Currently, Chainhooks 2.0 Beta access is limited to 10 seats and is available for free. This Beta version currently only supports Stacks chain filtering, but the future roadmap includes support for Bitcoin filtering and the launch of a command-line tool (CLI). Hiro emphasized that as sBTC adoption and transaction volumes increase, reliable tools like Chainhooks are crucial for the ecosystem’s development.
