Sourcify
We get the contract source code and metadata from Sourcify.
There are multiple ways to consume their data we support, each one with pros and cons:
IPNS/IPFS
This is the default integration method, we resolve the public Sourcify IPNS to get the latest known IPFS root hash of their repository.
The downside is that recently verified contracts may not have yet been added to the root hash and republished into IPNS.
Direct HTTP connection to Sourcify's repository
Standard HTTP connection to their repo at https://repo.sourcify.dev/
Fast access to fresh verified data. On the other hand it is less private and centralized.
Local snapshot
As a midterm solution, we are making available a snapshot docker image of their repository, containing only mainnet full verified contracts.
This would allow you to play with existing contracts up to the snapshot date/time locally, not depending on their service or IPFS connectivity availability.
