Who it’s for

Teams that need raw onchain events in their own database — protocol teams indexing their own contracts, analytics platforms building chain-wide event feeds, and data teams covering custom or non-standard events that the decoded endpoints don’t model. The output is a complete, ordered, reorg-safe log table you decode against your own ABIs.

Raw logs vs decoded recipes

Data Feeds ships two kinds of event data. Reach for raw logs when the decoded path doesn’t cover what you need:
Use…When
Decoded recipes (Token Transfers, Token Approvals, Swaps, NFT Transfers)The event is a standard, already-decoded type — you want typed columns, no ABI decoding.
Raw log recipes (this use case)A custom/unsupported contract or event, or you want every event a contract emits, or one signature chain-wide — and you’ll decode data against your own ABI.

The recipe bundle

RecipeRole
Contract LogsEvery raw event log emitted by a specific contract, in on-chain order. The “index my protocol’s contracts” path. Optional (contract, topic0) grouping for high-volume contracts.
Logs by Event SignatureOne event signature (topic0) across all contracts, chain-wide — every Transfer, Approval, Swap, etc. The “index one event everywhere” path. Optional (topic0, contract) grouping.

Two access patterns

Contract Logs            Logs by Event Signature
  key: contract_address    key: topic0
  "everything contract      "this event across
   X emitted"                all contracts"
  • By contract — point Contract Logs at your protocol’s addresses and get a complete, ordered event log per contract. Decode in your application against the contract ABI.
  • By event signature — point Logs by Event Signature at a topic0 and capture that event chain-wide. Because popular signatures (Transfer, Approval) span the whole chain, scope reads to a block range. Enable the optional (topic0, contract) grouping when you frequently narrow to specific contracts within a signature.

Decoding the payload

Both recipes are intentionally raw: topic0 is the event signature hash, topic1…topic3 are the indexed parameters, and data is the ABI-encoded non-indexed payload as hex. Decode data (and interpret the indexed topics) against the event ABI in your application — Data Feeds delivers the complete, ordered, reorg-safe primitives; the decode layer stays under your control.

Notes and considerations

  • EVM only. Raw log extraction covers EVM event logs (topic0…3 + data). Solana program logs are a different model.
  • Heavier source. Logs come from the wide raw block data (all logs and transactions per block), so per-block volume is higher than the compact decoded recipes. tx_hash is recovered by joining each log to its sibling transaction row; drop that join if you don’t need it.
  • Scope popular signatures. A chain-wide Transfer/Approval feed is large — bound it to a block range and run the ClickHouse path for live, reorg-safe ingestion.
  • Pair with decoded recipes. Use raw logs for the long tail and custom events; use the decoded recipes where a typed, ready-made shape already exists.
