Q&A with Lore👇

¿Podrías presentarte indicándonos tu nombre, tu experiencia previa y el puesto que ocupas actualmente en tu empresa?

Hey, I am Ryan Myher! Back in 2018 I was on the founding team of the first decentralized hash exchange, left crypto for a bit to build and sell a podcast/agency in the no-code space called No Code No Problem, and have since been working with Armaan and Brihu on Lore for a little over a year now.

¿Cómo ha crecido y cambiado su empresa desde su creación, y qué planes tiene para su futuro?

Our original vision was Google for blockchains, but we quickly realized what people are searching for, how they do it, and the underlying motivations are very different. The one premise that has always stayed true is increasing accessibility and understanding.

As for the future, I don’t want to give everything away, but Lore will become a new standard for block exploration and a go-to tool for devs, researchers, traders, and more across EVM-compatible chains.

En el mundo de la web3, ¿cuáles son algunas de las tendencias más destacadas que estás observando actualmente? ¿Cuáles crees que cobrarán impulso en los próximos años?

As a team, we have a lot of conviction in the Bedrock stack and the app-chain thesis. We think the number of L2’s & App-chains will likely 10X over the next 24 months with Alt-L1’s already moving over.

I personally have a lot of conviction in platforms like Royale and the intersection of the creator economy X web3. This next bull run, I have faith there will be a focus on consumers, not just giving creators liquidity off the backs of their fans.

What inspired you to develop Lore, and how did you conceive of the idea?

Our team was bought into the vision of a globally accessible ledger of record. The problem was this vision could never truly materialize as long as that ledger of record wasn’t legible. We set out to build data tools that make blockchain analysis accessible and more efficient.

Can you provide insight into Lore’s progress by sharing any metrics or milestones indicating its traction?

We have several partners like Kinto and opBNB, the best investors like Ar.ca and SALT, and thousands of people waiting to use Lore.

All of this with more exciting updates coming soon.

Can you provide insight into the target market for Lore and what types of clients you work with?

Lore is a consolidated data solution for EVM-compatible networks that can be deployed in a click. The platform combines easy discovery, powerful analytics, and real-time actionability. The solution translates all transactions to detailed English, allowing users to create queries and visualizations of block data in natural language, and complex notifications. So far, the Lore team has tooled the Kinto network (Kinto.xyz), are building consolidated explorers for Optimism (Superchain), and recently announced a partnership with BnB Chain.

Because of our product suite, we work with a number of parties, including networks, protocols, researchers, traders, and more.

¿Cómo utiliza su empresa Quicknode y qué ventajas aporta a sus operaciones comerciales?

Lore uses Quicknode as our indexing partner. Quicknode’s RPC calls are reliable, consistent, and fast, which ensures that we always have the most up-to-date data when we need it and no outages.
