zillet VS Hoppscotch

There's NO NEED for wallets to require 60, or 100 ZIL in a user's wallet to claim rewards or send ZIL. Not only is this unnecessary, but it confuses users who incorrectly believe that this is the cost of interacting with the Zilliqa blockchain. Zillet’s change was particularly maddening, as I had many orders of magnitude of ZIL locked in the staking contract but was unexpectedly stuck when Zillet raised the minimum amount required without notice.

No; it used to be a different number. They literally changed the code from 30 to 100 only hours ago

I checked their github's latest commits and see that they changed the minimum balance from 30 ZIL to 100.

If you're searching for a Postman alternative that is faster, lightweight, and more cost-effective, look no further than Hoppscotch.

Since Hoppscotch is open-source, you can contribute via GitHub.

API testing can often feel repetitive, especially when you are manually verifying endpoints every time there’s a change. It’s easy to overlook a detail or get bogged down in the process. Plus, as your codebase grows, this manual testing process becomes more time-consuming and prone to errors. In situations like these, you can’t help but wonder how much easier it would be if things could be automated. And hey, it's 2025, automation is totally within our reach. With the right setup, you can now run tests automatically every time there's an update to your code, making sure everything’s still working as it should. And with Hoppscotch, integrating automated API testing into your CI/CD pipeline comes in a snap.

Although Apidog is a popular REST client, you can also use others, such as Insomnia, RapidAPI for Mac, and Hoppscotch.

Hoppscotch is a lightweight, web-based API development ecosystem. It's designed to help developers test, debug, and document APIs directly from their web browsers. Hoppscotch offers a web client that doesn't require any installation or setup, making it an attractive option for developers who want a quick and easy way to test their APIs.

For example, if I build a minimal API with its semver version set to 1.0.2-beta, this would be reported by a /version endpoint exposed by the API, as shown in the screenshot below from Hoppscotch (this is a Postman-like tool with the convenience that it runs the browser):

Hoppscotch is an open-source API development tool, similar to Postman, but lighter and designed for quick testing and collaboration. While mainly for backend developers, it’s perfect for Svelte front-end devs who need to quickly test APIs, validate responses, and debug integrations—essential for API-driven apps. Github repository →
