Ahoy Developers!

We’re back with our third monthly community update, where we'll give you an exclusive view of what the Envio team has been shipping over the past month. As usual, we’ll be covering upcoming events, technical developments, and exciting milestones. So, grab a cuppa, and let’s get technical! 💃

Our team has been doing some serious benchmarking tests to assess the syncing performance of various web3 indexing solutions. Builders want to move swiftly and iterate fast…and boy-o-boy is Envio F-A-S-T! Envio v0.0.20 ranked the fastest at indexing out of all the indexing solutions that we battle-tested. Our goal is to develop Envio as a top-tier performance blockchain indexing solution, validating this through rigorous data-driven approaches.

More details about the findings can be found here.

The bounty game was strong this month! 💪

We released another three bounties with a total prize pool of a whopping $1400 USDC in our Discord that were quickly claimed by our builder community. These bounties included migrating the existing Aave V3 subgraph to an Envio Indexer using our Subgraph Migration Toolkit, an ENS multi-chain indexer, and a POAP multi-chain indexer that indexes the POAP smart contracts. We’ve seen some incredible milestones and received loads of valuable feedback. Big ups to all the builders who continue to inspire, participate, and help build Envio. 🙏

Keep an eye out for more exciting bounties in the coming month of November. All Envio bounties are announced in our bounties💰announcement channel in Discord and on our Dework profile, so be sure to turn on those notifications. Remember, the early bird catches the worm! 🪱🦅

If you don’t see anything that tickles your fancy, we also have the Envio “Build Bigger. Ship faster” grant program running with a few interesting use cases where you are more than welcome to apply using your own ideas. Feel free to DM the team or drop your suggestions in our Discord and we’ll get back to you ASAP Rocky!

Technical Overview 🏗️​

Current release: 🚀

We’re thrilled to announce that we have released a new version of Envio, v0.0.20!

What's changed:

  • Handled BigDecimal from subgraph migration.
  • Added error codes to input validation.
  • Validated against using language-reserved keywords.
  • Reduced default batch sizes.
  • Added dynamic contracts to allow loading from all events.
  • Improved ERC20 templates with approval entity.
  • Handleed dynamic contracts in raw events worker.
  • Fixed raw events resync.
  • Implemented hooks for stop worker.
  • Fixed deferred breaking on an empty array.
  • Implemented local scope in memory store - this makes the indexer less error-prone, and easier to test and reason about from a developer's point of view.
  • Changed db functions to use quotes around table names for case consistency - allowing more diverse names for tables with capitalizations, etc.
  • Refactor in memory store to have local state.
  • Updated templates with a new layout for capitalization.
  • Added Goerli testnet as an option for Hypersync - Goerli will be lightning-fast now.
  • Template integration tests - fixed + included in the workflow.
  • Improved Hypersync Fetching And Parsing - this is one of the big factors responsible for the speedup of the indexer from v0.0.19 to v0.0.20.
  • Update the casing of entities to allow users to choose casing.
  • Integration testing using Matrix for test isolation - this means the starter templates will always be tested thoroughly before use.
  • Added test to validate that multiple sync sources don’t break.
  • Upgraded Ethers to Parse ABI files.
  • Hypersync: Gnosis config.
  • Event Sync State Table.
