We are thrilled to announce the latest enhancements to ArweaveKit, a library simplifying the process of building on Arweave. Responding to the communities’ eager requests, we have added functionalities for GraphQL querying and data encryption!

Querying Simplified

Accessing transaction data on the Arweave blockchain is crucial for numerous purposes, ranging from analytics to smart contract interaction. While GraphQL has always been part of Arweave's querying ecosystem, we've now made it even simpler to use within ArweaveKit. 

Users no longer need to set up APIs for GraphQL. Instead, users can directly pass in queries to a selection of gateways. This approach provides more efficient, scalable, and real-time data retrieval.

Accessible Encryption

Arising from the benefits of permanent data storage, there is a need to ensure adequate data protection for sensitive and private information. While encryption and decryption features have existed on a select few protocols, ArweaveKit is now making these features publicly accessible, enabling data privacy and confidentiality, where required.

Users no longer need to navigate complex encryption protocols independently. Instead, they can utilize ArweaveKit’s built-in encryption and decryption functions directly, simplifying the process of securing their data. This approach offers a reliable, user-friendly, and efficient means of data protection.

Conclusion

In conclusion, these latest enhancements are a pivotal step towards making Arweave increasingly user friendly. Users will now be able to query data and secure it, effortlessly. As we continue our journey, we look forward to delivering more improvements that will redefine your experience with ArweaveKit. Stay tuned for more!
