Create your first dashboard to access NFTs on the EVM blockchains

Introduction

Monitoring your NFT portfolio can be challenging when you try new EVM blockchains.Furthermore in the Web3 environment, consolidating all your assets in a single location can be difficult.

In this tutorial you'll discover the effectiveness of QuickNode and Flipside and how to access to your NFT's from any EVM blockchain.

What We Will Do

What You Will Need

What is QuickNode?

QuickNode offers people the freedom to unleash their creativity, relieving them from the burden of underlying web3 infrastructure concerns.

Instead of only thinking about how transactions are kept secure and staying updated with various blockchains, you can use QuickNode to handle difficult tasks and make things valuable.

QuickNode empowers individuals to fully express their creativity without the constraints of managing web3 infrastructure. With QuickNode, you're freed from worrying about securing transactions and keeping pace with evolving blockchain technologies. It takes on the complex challenges, allowing you to focus on creating value.

Creating our powerful integration with QuickNode and FlipSide.

To access details about our NFTs and Wallet, it's necessary to establish an RPC (Remote Procedure Call). This RPC acts as the communication channel that enables us to interact with the blockchain.

To accomplish this, please proceed to the QuickNode dashboard.
https://dashboard.quicknode.com/endpoints

As a result, you should click on the "Create Endpoint" button.

Choose your desired blockchain; in my case, I will select the Base blockchain.

Select the mainnet network, click on "Continue", and then press the "Create Endpoint" button.

You will see the following dashboard, where you can copy the RPC.

We are getting our RPC from the QuickNode dashboard

After that, you will have completed about 70% of the work. Now, we need to display the data extracted from the RPC.

Now we need to go to Flipside.

What is FlipSide? .

Flipside offers comprehensive data solutions for analysts, protocols, builders, and the entire crypto sector.

You can create an account on Flipside.

Flipside SignUp Form

Afterward, you'll see the Flipside LiveQuery dashboard. On the left, you will see three tabs. Click on the 'Utilities' tab.

Flipside dashboard where we can query the QuickNode RPC

After seeing this option, we need to create the data to retrieve later on our Dashboard. Click on the "Create" button.

Please select the "Query" option.

Flipside Dashboard provides an option where we can create queries or dashboards

As a result, you will see an empty query. After that, you can create a query to retrieve the balance from a specific wallet.

Please copy this code and paste it into your query:

SELECT livequery.utils.udf_hex_to_int(SELECT
  '0x' || SUBSTRING(
    live.udf_api(
      'POST',
       '{{QuickNodeRPC}}',
      {},
      livequery.utils.udf_json_rpc_call(
        'eth_call',
        [
          {
              'to': '{{Contract}}',
              'data': CONCAT(
                '0x70a08231000000000000000000000000',
                -- Ensure padding is applied to the token ID before concatenation
                 SUBSTRING('{{Address}}', 3)
              )
          },
          'latest'
        ]
      )
    ):data:result::string,
    27, 40
  ) AS ethereum_address
) as "Balance Of"

You will have something like this:

Flipside Dashboard where we created our query

After that, you will notice these parameters:

  • Address - Your desired wallet.

  • QuickNodeRPC - We will use the RPC that we obtained from QuickNode for further development.

  • Contract - The contract from your preferred collection.

Please fill in these values with the data you want to be displayed.

After that click the ">" button to run the query.

In the Flipside Dashboard, we are locating the run query button.

Also you can change the title about your query.

This is the Flipside Dashboard where we can enter our dashboard name

When the query is in progress, you will see something like this:

In the Flipside Dashboard, here we are running our query.

Now you have the information related to your wallet where you have NFTs.

 NFT Information in our Flipside Dashboard

Furthermore, we need three queries to complete our dashboard:

  • TokenURI

  • OwnerOf

  • Supply

Please follow the same steps as mentioned in the previous instructions to create these queries:

TokenURI:

SELECT
  REPLACE(
    live.udf_api(
      'POST',
      '{{QuickNodeRPC}}',
      {},
      livequery.utils.udf_json_rpc_call(
        'eth_call',
        [
          {
            'to': '{{Contract}}',
            'data': CONCAT(
              '0xc87b56dd',
              LPAD(SUBSTRING(utils.udf_int_to_hex({{tokenId}}), 3), 64, '0')
            )
          },
          'latest'
        ]
      )
    ):data:result::string,
    '0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000020000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003c',
    ''
  ) AS "https://onlinestringtools.com/convert-hexadecimal-to-string"

OwnerOf:

SELECT
  '0x' || SUBSTRING(
    live.udf_api(
      'POST',
      '{{QuickNodeRPC}}',
      {},
      livequery.utils.udf_json_rpc_call(
        'eth_call',
        [
          {
              'to': '{{Contract}}',
              'data': CONCAT(
                '0x6352211e',
                -- Ensure padding is applied to the token ID before concatenation
                 LPAD(SUBSTRING(utils.udf_int_to_hex({{tokenId}}), 3), 64, '0')
              )
          },
          'latest'
        ]
      )
    ):data:result::string,
    27, 40
  ) AS ethereum_address

Supply:

SELECT livequery.utils.udf_hex_to_int(SELECT
  '0x' || SUBSTRING(
    live.udf_api(
      'POST',
       '{{QuickNodeRPC}}',
      {},
      livequery.utils.udf_json_rpc_call(
        'eth_call',
        [
          {
              'to': '{{Contract}}',
              'data':'0x18160ddd'
          },
          'latest'
        ]
      )
    ):data:result::string,
    27, 40
  ) AS ethereum_address) as "Total Supply"

Creating our dashboard

After creating the queries, you need to create the dashboard. To do this, click on the "+"button, and then select the "dashboard" option.

Creating your dashboard on Flipside

In our dashboard, we can organize our information into tabs. In this step, we will create a new tab.

Additionally, you can personalize it with your preferred name.

We can edit our tab name in our FlipSide Dashboard

In my case, I will name this tab BalanceOf

Updating the tab name in our FlipSide Dashboard.

Afterward, we need to add a table to retrieve the data from our NFT query.

Adding a table to display our information from query on our Flipside Dashboard

As a result, you will need the previously created query to retrieve NFTs.

Now you can see the balance information associated from your wallet.

Displaying our query on our Flipside Dashboard

You will notice the appearance of parameters with default values.

You can dynamically change this information with another wallet.
Also, you can add a title and description for your dashboard.

Displaying our query on our Flipside Dashboard

To finalize this dashboard, create a table from these queries:

  • TokenURI

  • OwnerOf

  • Supply

You can add a personalized tab for each query.

To make our dashboard public, click on the "Publish" button.

Making public available our Flipside Dashboard

Finally, you have created your first dashboard with valuable information from Base.

We can share our flipside dashboard

Here is my dashboard:
