Overview of the Figment . project

What is the Figment Project?

Figment is the largest blockchain infrastructure and software provider, based in Canada. The project's mission is to simplify the process of using, building and administering blockchains for token holders, developers, and other parties who also participate in the network. 

To do this, the project team provides a comprehensive set of tools and services, including enterprise-grade staking and node infrastructure, the Hubble Web 3 browser, and DataHub (developer of APIs). ). With such an approach, users can easily use Web 3.0, as well as discover and build decentralized applications on the blockchain.

Highlights of the Figment . project

Figment provides token holders with protocols by which they can securely stake tokens and earn interest, and contribute to that token's network.

Figment products can be accessed by everyone in the market, including: 

• Venture capital institutions and founding teams
• Wallets, Exchanges and Trustees
• Family office and property management
• Traditional financial and asset managers.

There are more than 50 staking protocols supported by Figment, including Celo, Cosmos, Terra, Near, Polkadot, Solana, Mina, The Graph…

With Figment, developers will be provided with the tools to develop on Web 3.0. Plus, they can use the blockchain's most powerful features at no cost:

• DataHub takes the hassle out of operating infrastructure so developers can focus on building and growing their projects. 
• Figment's API suite will support sending transactions and performing on-chain read queries.
• Figment provides a variety of APIs that enable developers to unlock the unique features and properties of Web 3.0 protocols. 

By joining the Figment platform, users can explore and understand more about Web 3.0 . In addition, the physical infrastructure of the project is combined with a network of public and private sentry nodes on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, OVHcloud, Digital Ocean and other cloud computing platforms, by how to connect directly to VPN backup as well as connect to other cloud products through VPNs.

Products of Figment

To serve the staking process, Figment has 2 services, namely Custody and Figment Prime.

Custody

When staking on Figment, investors' tokens will be safe. Figment custodian partners will securely secure tokens, while providing a seamless experience and peace of mind for users. Meanwhile, the platform still provides the ability to generate staking profits as well as the opportunity to participate in the network governance process for investors. 

Suitable subjects to participate in Custody at Figment are institutions, venture capital firms, owners of large amounts of tokens and trustees.

Figment Prime

Prime provides a group of off-chain and on-chain services to the largest token holders on the PoS network.

To support large token holders as well as institutions, Prime offers: 

• Asset portfolio management interface
• Reward report files (tax compliant and user can export this file)
• Industry-leading SLAs
• Discounted fees (depending on quantity and time)
• Advanced support services (including 24/7 dedicated Telegram or Slack support)
• Monthly informative calls with technical team and analysts
• Access to Figment .'s internal validation tools and libraries
• Some other perks.

Figment Prime's audience includes venture capital funds, exchanges, hedge funds, hedgers as well as trustees.

To assist developers in the construction process, Figment has launched 3 products: DataHub, Transaction Search API and Staking API.

DataHub

DataHub allows developers to use the most powerful and unique features of the blockchain without having to be too knowledgeable about the protocol. Thanks to DataHub, developers can now access Web 3.0 protocols through enterprise-grade infrastructure. From there, the development team can focus on what they do best, which is building great products. 

In addition, with Figment, users can confidently access the RPC APIs and REST APIs of supported protocols for both the official network as well as the latest test network. As a result, developers can safely test and deploy their products. 

DataHub users include Dapp developers, data providers, wallets, exchanges, custodians, and staking-based services.

The benefits DataHub brings to users:

• Trusted access to network APIs
• Ability to send transactions on-chain
• Easy integration
• High quality support service
• Limit maintenance
• Enterprise-grade infrastructure.

Transaction Search API

Users can filter transactions by account, transaction type, memo field, smart contract address, and date range. This gives the same flexibility as when dealing with Web 2.0 data. Developers can also query events on the protocol such as upcoming blocks and transactions, and can then filter by block height, by action, etc. That means customers no matter the size. (from small app developers to exchanges and custodians) can take advantage of the above feature to provide their users with transaction history as well as create special triggers based on incoming and outgoing transactions. 

Benefits that Transaction Search API brings: 

• Leader in performance, scalability and availability: Transaction Search is designed with 99.9% uptime with strong data endurance so users can always execute transactions and events whenever they need it, even when the protocol has high latency. 
• Flexibility: Transaction Search is designed with the needs of developers in mind. 
• Developing standardization across protocols: Transaction Search is a JSON API. Therefore, users can easily manipulate when using this product, as well as integrate it into their Dapp. 

Staking API

DataHub's Staking Indexer allows developers to query and display all data related to staking. Users can query all validator data, such as the active validator group, certain validator performance or events, and the amount of stakes they are entrusted with. 

Developers can also query staking rewards by account, by date range, and by original validator. As such, customers of all sizes (from small app developers to exchanges and custodians) can securely deploy staking-enabled products to their users.

The advantages of this product are:

• Leading the way in performance, scalability and availability: The project team designed the Staking Indexer with 99.9% uptime and high data durability to always have staking data available when users need it. . 
• Flexibility: The purpose of the Staking Indexer is to make it easy for users to capture daily staking information, and to help developers create great Web 3.0 experiences. 

Besides, in order to support users to explore Web 3.0 to the maximum, Figment has provided supporting tools such as Hubble, Learn and Blockchain Governance.

Hubble

Hubble is the platform where validators and token holders use to discover and interact with Web 3.0 protocols. Hubble reshapes what a block explorer is by enhancing the available protocol data instead of just displaying it.

Validators use Hubble to track their performance, manage proposals, and get invaluable information about their delegator base.

Users and token holders use Hubble to stake, vote, and track their rewards. This platform becomes the place to manage the entire Web 3.0 experience for users. 

Hubble Audience: Staking-based services, token holders, exchanges and trustees, wallets, Dapp developers, and data providers.

The benefits that Hubble brings to users:

• Transaction data and stake data updated in real time
• Customizable alerts by on-chain events
• Validator performance history record data 
• Ability to track and export delegator reward data
• Ability to track and participate in on-chain governance
• Search transactions by account, date range, type and memo field.

Learn

With Learn, developers have access to comprehensive hands-on instruction developed by Figment and the community to foster the growth of the ecosystem. Tutorials are seamlessly completed with DataHub. As a result, users can easily access protocols through the full node infrastructure and available middleware suite.

Blockchain Governance

To make governance easier as the stakeholder group grows, Figment provides development software and services to make blockchain governance simple and efficient, and reduce costs for participants. 

Services and software provided by Figment:

• Administration services: Alerts, reporting and analysis; educational campaigns; community building and awareness raising; management recommendations
• Administration software: Browser proposes administration; voting operations and statistical interface; monitoring and alerting for on-chain governance; voting function.
