Data Ingestion and Processing
Prism’s ingestion layer captures every ERC-20 token movement on each supported chain by decodingTransfer events from transaction receipts.
This approach provides a complete, receipt-accurate view of token flow, ensuring every transfer can be replayed and verified against the chain.
Through this unified pipeline, Prism delivers:
- Full token visibility: every ERC-20 movement, with no protocol blind spots.
- Mints and burns as first-class events: transfers from and to the zero address are classified explicitly rather than being lost in generic transfer traffic.
- Source-of-truth accuracy: all data is derived directly from on-chain event logs, not inferred from external indexers.
Coverage
Prism indexes the ERC-20 token standard, capturing transfers along with the mints and burns that change total supply.There is no balances dataset on EVM. ERC-20 balances live in contract storage
rather than in transaction metadata, so they cannot be derived from receipts
the way Solana’s pre- and post-transaction token balances can. Use
transfers to reconstruct flow.
