Blockchain Crawler

A simple trawler, crawler, and general miscrient for finding, decoding and writing data from logs on Ethereum chains running official versions of Open Zeppelin's Ethernaut.

Adaptable with some small-ish tub of elbow grease, and completed using Alchemy/Infura.

To ensure project is initialised & correct dependencies are installed

yarn

Ethernaut

This code has been uploaded filled with majestic data points, but can be ran from scratch if need be.

Here's the process that needs to be taken if starting from scratch.:

  • run yarn leaderboard:oldCrawler successfully, writing the network-by-network ${network.name}PlayersBoard's

If you're OZ, it's crawled its crawl and populated historical data already, right up to a very recent block indeed. Check it out in utils/networkDetails > "fromBlock" for each network.

All the cron job needs to do is trigger this right here:

  • run yarn leaderboard:triggerNextCrawl to populate each ${network.name}PlayersBoard with new entries & write the global leaderboard

...as often as you like. A draft of this .yml file is contained in crondraft.yml.

NB. _Be sure to initialise allPlayersBoard.json and newPlayersBoard.js with an empty array [] if starting from scratch.

NB. _Any automator/action triggers a crawl from the block defined as lastFrom under utils/networkDetails per network. At the end of each run, this fromBlock value is updated. As such, if testing, be sure to omit the updateNetworkDetails function until you are happy to leave the action running on whatever period.

NB _during a cron job action crawl, try/catch blocks are used to omit RPC errors/missing responses. These are not tracked in this PR, and subsequently, although rare, occasionally data on chain will not reflect that as shown on the leaderboard.
