Overview

HostsHost A Shinzo node that receives indexed data from indexers over P2P, verifies it, runs lens transforms to produce view documents, and serves those documents over GraphQL. play a very important role in the Shinzo ecosystem. The HostHost A Shinzo node that receives indexed data from indexers over P2P, verifies it, runs lens transforms to produce view documents, and serves those documents over GraphQL.'s role is primarily as a data transformer and data availability layer. HostsHost A Shinzo node that receives indexed data from indexers over P2P, verifies it, runs lens transforms to produce view documents, and serves those documents over GraphQL. are responsible for transforming primitive data (blocks, logsLog A document type the indexer produces for event logs emitted during transaction execution. `topics` holds the indexed parameters and `data` holds the non-indexed ones, both as raw hex. ABI decoding happens later, in a lens., transactions, etc.) into useful "ViewsView A curated, SDL-defined representation of defraDB documents. Views transform raw indexed data into a structured output shape." of data.

"ViewsView A curated, SDL-defined representation of defraDB documents. Views transform raw indexed data into a structured output shape." can be thought of as user-defined APIs. The user/developer is responsible for defining how to retrieve the primitive data, how to transform the data, and finally how to serve the data. The HostHost A Shinzo node that receives indexed data from indexers over P2P, verifies it, runs lens transforms to produce view documents, and serves those documents over GraphQL. is responsible for providing the infrastructure, compute, and memory required to actually perform those transactions and to deliver the ViewView A curated, SDL-defined representation of defraDB documents. Views transform raw indexed data into a structured output shape. output to the users that need it.

HostsHost A Shinzo node that receives indexed data from indexers over P2P, verifies it, runs lens transforms to produce view documents, and serves those documents over GraphQL. also play an integral role in the security of the Shinzo network. They are responsible for creating "Attestation Records" which are used to propogate sign-offs from IndexerIndexer A node that reads blockchain data from a source chain, parses it into structured documents, and writes them to defraDB. Indexers are write-only: they push data out over P2P and reject all incoming replication.(s) on primitive data; users have the option to validate the source data against what other IndexersIndexer A node that reads blockchain data from a source chain, parses it into structured documents, and writes them to defraDB. Indexers are write-only: they push data out over P2P and reject all incoming replication. have posted, providing a means for data self-verification.

To help facilitate the HostHost A Shinzo node that receives indexed data from indexers over P2P, verifies it, runs lens transforms to produce view documents, and serves those documents over GraphQL. role, the Shinzo team provides a HostHost A Shinzo node that receives indexed data from indexers over P2P, verifies it, runs lens transforms to produce view documents, and serves those documents over GraphQL. application client that we highly recommend using.
