Overview

Kyn is an innovative platform engineered to streamline and automate interactions with EVM blockchains. Functioning as an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform, Kyn allows users to seamlessly automate the deployment and execution of "Handler Functions." These functions are written in programming languages that target the EVM, and are tightly integrated with the Foundry ecosystem.

Motivation

Kyn's goal is to offer a more flexible and integrated approach to interacting with EVM compatible blockchains and responding to the various events occurring on these chains, as well as other external triggers. With Kyn, handler functions are written using Solidity (and potentially any EVM language), and have access to all the features provided by the Foundry VM.

This approach greatly simplifies the development process, as handlers live right next to the rest of the contracts in a Foundry project, which can be directly imported in order to interact with them. Furthermore, as handlers are written in Solidity, Kyn allows developers to work within a familiar environment, reducing the learning curve and enhancing the overall development experience.

While platforms like Openzeppelin Defender, Tenderly, and Alchemy also provide EVM monitoring capabilities, Kyn sets itself apart not only by its improved developer experience, but also by providing a web application in which non-technical users can utilize handlers developed by others, thanks to the parameterizable nature of these handlers. Developers can create generic handlers that can be easily cloned and customized, broadening the accessibility and practicality of these tools.
