Your Complete Web3 History in One Place
The new and improved 3Box activity feed integrates a user’s activity from across various networks that make up web3 today, including public Ethereum networks and the 3Box data network, into a single coherent view. With the new feed, our goal was to present information to users in a simple, intuitive, and familiar way that makes it easy for you and others to look back on your history and achieve a clear picture of what happened. Let’s dive into the details!
Ethereum, On-Chain History
This information is available on both your public profile and your logged-in profile views.

Metadata for App and Token Contracts
In the new feed, we are displaying metadata for known application and token smart contracts on Ethereum. To achieve this we are using eth-contract-metadata, an open source library maintained by MetaMask.
Human-Readable Smart Contract Interactions
In the new feed, we also display human-readable smart contract method calls. To achieve this we are using the Etherscan Contract API to fetch the contract ABI and abi-decoder, an open source library maintained by ConsenSys, to decode them into a readable format.
User Account Profile Information
The new feed replaces hexadecimal addresses with 3Box profiles for accounts that you have interacted with by transferring ETH or tokens. If they have a 3Box profile we display name and image, if not we still display the hex address. To achieve this we are using the 3Box GraphQL API endpoint, provided by us, 3Box.

3Box, Off-Chain History
This information is only viewable to you when logged-in to your profile.
Overhauled Data Feed
We completely redesigned the data tiles for the activity feed by restructuring the layout and making information more semantic. These updates make feed information clear, enjoyable, and easy to consume.

Visual Image Tiles
Another major upgrade is that we now display full images added to your profile instead of just showing the IPFS image hash.
