Uniblock Show Unified APIs Give Midnight Builders One Place to Connect

Uniblock show its unified API platform during one Midnight Build Club session, teach developers how dem fit access blockchain services with one shared integration. Co‑founder and CEO Kevin Callahan present tools to retrieve wallet, token, and transaction data, plus one routing system wey dem design to handle wahala wey fit happen for underlying providers. The presentation focus on infrastructure tasks wey application teams for normally build and maintain by themselves.

A Shared Interface for Blockchain Data

Uniblock dey sit between applications and blockchain service providers. Its Unified API dey standardize responses from different sources, reduce the work wey dey needed to combine their data inside one application. The platform still offer RPC access to communicate with blockchain nodes and direct access to provider functions outside the unified interface.

Official documentation talk say coverage pass 300 networks and 55 providers. Availability fit differ by service and blockchain. During the session, Callahan discuss sources like Alchemy, CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and Zerion, with categories wey cover market information, wallets, NFTs, and transactions.

One question about how to track NFT projects for Ethereum or Solana bring practical example. Callahan explain say developers fit retrieve collection information and the wallet data wey join am through the platform. Documented functions include token balances, transfer histories, NFT metadata, and transaction details, to support applications like portfolio trackers and analytics tools.

The integration dey provide access to information and infrastructure services. To transfer assets between blockchains go need separate mechanisms.

Routing Around Provider Disruptions

As applications dey grow, teams dey often add backup providers and build systems to switch between dem when interruptions happen. That one dey create ongoing work: to monitor availability, maintain integrations, and manage separate service plans.

According to Callahan, Uniblock’s routing system dey consider response times, cost, data freshness, and correctness. Where providers dey support equivalent requests, e fit choose alternative source. E describe data sampling and provider monitoring as part of the process to limit the impact of upstream problems on customer applications.

The billing model address another source of complexity. Separate subscriptions fit leave unused credits with one provider while application need more capacity elsewhere. Uniblock dey consolidate consumption and give teams access to selected services without buying full plan from every source separately.

Callahan mention customer savings but still separate widely available infrastructure from specialized APIs. Services wey several providers offer dey create different pricing opportunities compared to products wey dem build around distinctive data. Under this arrangement, Uniblock go manage routing and billing for the selected services, reduce the number of supplier relationships wey the application team dey handle directly.

Midnight Coverage and Build Club Access

During the session, Callahan describe Midnight integration as work wey still dey progress. Uniblock’s current website now list Midnight with “Partial Coverage” label, without full detail of supported functions. The platform overall network and provider counts therefore dey describe its broader catalog, no be specifically the services wey dey available for Midnight.

Callahan still offer access through Model Context Protocol, or MCP, for teams wey dey connect AI tools to blockchain data. Dem present this one as additional platform capability wey participants fit explore for their projects.

Build Club participants get coupons to try Uniblock, while organizers plan shared channels for questions and technical assistance. The documented onboarding process dey start with creating one project and obtaining API key, then selecting the required services.

The team still offer to help builders identify better data sources and integrate dem into their applications. For participants wey dey develop products wey need information from several networks, the session provide one route to test those connections with direct support from Uniblock engineers.
