ocular

Ocular is a Rust client library designed for interacting with blockchains built using the Cosmos SDK. It focuses on delivering a pleasant developer experience by simplifying common tasks like client setup and query execution. The library is strongly inspired by Lens, a similar Go-based client library for Cosmos ecosystems.

Key Features

• Automatic Client Configuration — Configures clients automatically using data from the Cosmos chain registry, reducing manual setup.
• Core Module Queries — Provides built-in support for querying core blockchain modules (in progress).
• Tendermint Queries — Enables queries to the Tendermint consensus layer (in progress).
• Key Management & TX Signing — Manages cryptographic keys and signs transactions using the familiar Cosmos accounts paradigm (in progress).
• IBC Relayer Path Retrieval — Automatically retrieves Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) relayer paths (in progress).
• Arbitrary gRPC Messaging — Supports sending custom gRPC messages for interacting with non-standard modules (planned).

Philosophy

Ocular aims to be the preferred Cosmos client library for Rust projects by prioritizing developer ergonomics and reducing boilerplate, making blockchain interactions more intuitive and efficient.
