Instant subgraphs configuration

This configuration file is required for instant / no-code subgraphs.

​

Configuration

{
  version: "1",
  name: "TokenDeployed",
  abis: {
    TokenRegistry: {
      path: "./path/to/your/abi.json",
    },
  },
  chains: ["your_chain"],
  instances: [
    {
      abi: "TokenRegistry",
      address: "0x...",
      startBlock: 13983724,
      chain: "your_chain"
    },
  ],
}

• version: "1": The version of this config, we only support a value of “1” right now.
• name: "TokenDeployed": The name of the event you want to track as specified in the ABI file.
• abis: {: Mapping of ABIs names (can be anything you want) to ABI files.
• chains: ["your_chain"]: All the chains this contract has been deployed to that you want to track. For each chain, you must have an instance below in which the chain name matches. Note that not every ABI must be deployed on all declared chains
• abi: "TokenRegistry": The ABI you want to track. This name must match a key in the abis object above.
• address: "0x...",: The address of the contract.
• startBlock: 13983724: The block from which you want your subgraph to start indexing (in most cases, this is the block that deployed your contract)
• chain: "your_chain": The chain you want to track this contract on

Examples

​

Multi-chain

This example shows how to define multiple chains with many addresses.

{
  "name": "TokenDeployed",
  "abis": {
    "TokenRegistry": {
      "path": "./abis/tokenRegistryAbi.json"
    }
  },
  "chains": ["mainnet", "avalanche", "evmos", "moonbeam", "milkomedac1"],
  "instances": [
    {
      "abi": "TokenRegistry",
      "address": "0x0A6f564C5c9BeBD66F1595f1B51D1F3de6Ef3b79",
      "startBlock": 13983724,
      "chain": "mainnet"
    },
    {
      "abi": "TokenRegistry",
      "address": "0x2d6775C1673d4cE55e1f827A0D53e62C43d1F304",
      "startBlock": 13718798,
      "chain": "avalanche"
    },
    {
      "abi": "TokenRegistry",
      "address": "0x10B84C73001745D969e7056D7ca474ce1D959FE8",
      "startBlock": 59533,
      "chain": "evmos"
    },
    {
      "abi": "TokenRegistry",
      "address": "0xa7E4Fea3c1468D6C1A3A77e21e6e43Daed855C1b",
      "startBlock": 171256,
      "chain": "moonbeam"
    },
    {
      "abi": "TokenRegistry",
      "address": "0x19d4b0F5871913c714554Bbb457F2a1549f52E04",
      "startBlock": 1356181,
      "chain": "milkomedac1"
    }
  ]
}

This configuration results in multiple deployed subgraphs, each with an identical GraphQL schema for you to fetch data. If you prefer a combined view of the data across all deployed subgraphs, please have a look at cross-chain subgraphs.

​

Factory patterns

Some contracts create other child contracts, which then emit events that you need to track. The configuration here can handle that by allowing you specify a source inside an instance entry. The source tells the indexer which Factory contract event creates a new contract, and the address of the new contract as inferred from the event argument.

{
  name: "TokenDeployed",
  abis: {
    Factory: {
      path: "./abis/factory.json",
    },
    Pool: {
      path: "./abis/pool.json",
    },
  },
  chains: ["bsc"],
  instances: [
    {
      abi: "Factory",
      address: "0xa98242820EBF3a405D265CCd22A4Ea8F64AFb281",
      startBlock: 16748800,
      chain: "bsc",
    },
    {
      abi: "Pool",
      source: {
        abi: "Factory",
        eventSignature: "PoolCreated(address,address,bool)",
        addressParam: "pool",
      },
    },
  ],
}

• Factory: { path: "./abis/factory.json": The path to the ABI for the Factory contract
• Pool: { path: "./abis/pool.json": The path the ABI for the contract deployed by the Factory contract
• { abi: "Pool": This is the main difference between the configuration for factory vs non-factory applications. In this example, the Factory contract makes new Pool contracts and the below configuration specifies that with this source object.
• source: { abi: "Factory": The ABI name which creates this contract.
• eventSignature: "PoolCreated(address,address,bool)",: This is the signature of the event from the Factory contract which indicates that this contract was created.
• addressParam: "pool": The name of the parameter from the Factory contract’s event that contains the new address to track.

In this example, there is a defined factory contract that makes many pools, and each pool needs to be tracked. We have two ABIs and the last instance entry looks for any PoolCreated event in the Factory ABI, gets a parameter from it, and uses that as a data source to watch for future Pool events in the Pool ABI.
