Web3API: The Universal Web3 Integration Standard
summary
Aims to replace brittle JavaScript SDKs by shipping a small language-specific client that downloads and runs protocol logic as WebAssembly modules (written in AssemblyScript) resolved via ENS/IPFS; interfaces are defined with GraphQL so modules call each other for hyper‑composability without inflating app size. Supports gradual migration via plugin wrappers around existing JS SDKs, demos include a Docker‑like Web3Hub and HackFS prototype, plus Gitcoin kernel backing; current DAO: ~60 members, 20+ orgs, 100+ proposals, ~$200k paid to builders.
