Targets

A target is a filter of a data source that is in the interest. Watchers will only generate events if it matches the specified targets. Each target type will be compatible with only certain types of Watchers.

Target types

Contract Target

A contract target focuses on events from a specific contract. To use a contract target, contract address, chain, and ABI is required.

Inspex Lighthouse will automatically try to find the ABI when chain and contract address is provided. If it cannot find ABI, you can find the contract ABI and add manually

Note: If a contract is a proxy contract (ERC-1967), you might need to add ABI manually. See finding contract ABI

Token Target

A contract target focuses on events from a specific tokens. Currently ERC-20 (tokens), ERC-721 (NFTs), and native tokens are supported. For watchers that wanted to monitor multiple tokens or chains, you can create a target that targets any token on any chain.
