Let's build a new internet
How one startup is giving web3 the wings to fly
In the early days of the internet, websites were static, boring pages on a computer screen. If you wanted something new to show up, you had to refresh the page.
Then JavaScript came along, and websites became dynamic. Drop-downs, pop-ups, slick animations. That shift gave us Web 2.0.
But the real magic wasn’t just in how websites looked, it was in how they worked.
Suddenly, you didn’t have to build every single piece of your website from scratch. Want maps? Just plug in Google Maps. Want messaging? Add Twilio. These little building blocks are called APIs.
And if APIs were the new building blocks, Postman was the power tool. It lets developers test, debug, and integrate APIs easily, unlocking faster product cycles and better collaboration.
Now imagine that same API revolution…
But for Web3.
Instead of APIs, Web3 runs on smart contracts — self-executing code that lives on blockchains. Want to send money? Update a wallet? Verify ownership? You need a smart contract.
But here’s the problem:
Smart contracts are messy. They’re scattered across platforms, hard to test, and painful to integrate.
Just like early Web2 APIs. But there’s a new startup fixing it.
Meet Bonadocs
Postman for Web3.
Bonadocs gives blockchain developers the tools to:
✅ Test smart contracts in a sandbox
✅ Create simple and interactive documentation for their smart contracts
✅ Explore a public registry of available protocols
✅ Integrate them into their apps without reinventing the wheel
It’s one platform to document, test, and plug in smart contracts across any major chain.
Why this matters
The dev experience in crypto is still stuck in 2015.
Bonadocs is changing that. And by doing so, it could become the invisible layer that powers the next wave of crypto adoption.
What they’ve done so far 🔧
Launched in October 2023
Active across 7 blockchain ecosystems
$150K+ pulled in so far
Rolling out SaaS model for smaller projects
First customers: Arbitrum, Base, Optimism & others
The market is heating up 🔥
The smart contracts market is expected to reach $73 billion in five years
Bonadocs is a first mover in this space
They could unlock winner-take-all dynamics
What could go wrong? 😬
The market stays small: Sure, the number of web3 devs is growing at light speed. But if that slows down or tops out, it could hurt Bonadocs’s growth potential.
VC-scale risk: Charging Layer-1 chains is great, and crypto has enough liquidity to keep this going, but is it enough to reach unicorn status?
Who’s building it ðŸ§
David Atanda (CEO) – 5+ years as a frontend & DevRel engineer. Ex-ConsenSys.
Ahmad Alfawwaz Timehin (CTO) – 9+ years in software. Engineering Manager at an open banking startup in Africa.
The Big Question ðŸ’
Can Bonadocs become the power tool that unlocks Web3 for 100,000 devs?
We think so.
