talk #4 details
speaker: @astrodavid_eth from @bonadocs
title: API wrappers vs direct smart contract integration
how to build real-world apps using tooling like wallet infra, on/off ramp sdks, contract interaction tooling, and apis for simple defi interaction.
highlight tooling that abstracts the web3 complication for regular users
Our next tour stop is @token2049 in 🇸🇬
@astrodavid_eth would be comparing app integrations using APIs as contract wrappers vs direct contract interactions.
Later today at I will be at @injective's pre-token2049 dev meetup with a lightning talk: “App Integrations: API Wrappers vs Direct Contract Integration"
We'll be going through a demo showing how apps can interact with web3 protocols without the complexities.
In case you missed our last stop with @developer_dao, you can rewatch it below 👇.
We spoke with @narb_s last Friday about @bonadocs, and we created an ENS playground that demoed how to resolve names and subnames.
🎙️ Have you heard about @bonadocs?
They're building a toolkit to help developers more easily build web3 apps. Hear co-founder @astrodavid_eth give us the break down of what Bonadocs is and why it was built in this clip from @devntellxyz👇
To our community partners, you are the heartbeat of this movement. From amplifying conversations to mobilizing builders, creators, and dreamers across borders, your contributions shaped a truly global experience.
Thank you for being the bridge between ideas and people. Your energy, dedication, and collaboration turned this conference into more than an event; it became a movement. The Web3 story in Africa is stronger because of you. 💙
From all of us at @Web3LagosCon , we say a heartfelt THANK YOU. 💙🚀

Next stop would be with @developer_dao 😎
@astrodavid would be talking about how we can onboard new application devs by using the bonadocs toolkit to shorten their developer journey.

Get ready for DevNTell this week with @bonadocs
📆 Sept 5th, 2025
💁 We'll be joined by @astrodavid_eth who'll be giving us a talk around Bonadocs and showing us how their toolkit can help developers build web3 applications 🔥
RSVP using the link in the post below👇
We've begun our developer tour with developer communities across various regions🧭. The goal is to highlight applications as the primary means of reaching the next billion users in web3. We'll be showing builders how to use bonadocs and other web3 UX tools to build usable apps.
Then, we were at @Web3LagosCon to talk about how the next web3 meta is building hybrid applications that combine the power of onchain protocols with existing fintech apps to enable better UX.

We talk a lot about smart contracts being permissionless, but as Vitalik mentioned, it should be extended into the app layer. In this article, I write about how protocols can enable distributed interfaces for their project through ecosystem contributions.
ENS subnames are important not only for identity but also to enable the adoption of crypto on a mainstream level. In this video, I walk you through the process of integrating ENS off-chain subnames using the @namespace_eth plug-and-play service.
App developers have to keep jumping through hoops to find faucets for the tokens they need on testnets. Plus, replicating complex scenarios in development like liquidation due to price change, fast-forwarding time to trigger token unlocks, etc, are almost impossible to do.
