Ethereum network sender address mapper

Script that, once deployed in a Docker container, monitors a live feed of the Ethereum network via a WebSocket connection, stores the sender addresses with transaction counts, and creates statistics of the most active addresses.

Configuration

A list of the possible environment variables and their purpose:

• MODE: Either development or production, the logging level is set based on this
• EXPORT_INTERVAL: The interval of how often the SQLite database is exported as a JSON file, does nothing if IS_EXPORT is not true
  • Notably set as a string (similar to all environment variables)
• IS_EXPORT: Boolean that indicates whether the aforementioned export task is enabled or not
  • Possible values that are interpreted as True (case insensitive): true, 1, and t

Development

Most critically MODE=development should be specified, as it sets the logging level from INFO to DEBUG. Low EXPORT_INTERVAL should be used for testing the export functionality (obviously).

mkvirtualenv chainmapper # OR 'workon chainmapper'
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
touch .env # Optional, see the previous section

Usage

The included deploy.sh shellscript should be used for any kind of (development or production) deployment. It builds a new Docker image without caching, prompts for removal of any possible conflicting containers, and finally deploys the newly built image as a container with the data/ local directory mounted as a volume.

chmod +x ./scripts/deploy.sh
./scripts/deploy.sh
