Data Ingestion and Processing

Prism’s ingestion layer captures every ERC-20 token movement on each supported chain by decoding Transfer 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.
