self-hosted indexer for ethereum and the op-stack.
connects straight to p2p. no rpc provider. no bills.

sieve --capabilities

# what sieve can index

▸ events Filter by contract, event signature, indexed params

topic0 + address matching at sync time, bloom pre-screening

▸ calls Decode function calldata for specific selectors

only successful (non-reverted) transactions

▸ transfers Track native ETH transfers with address filters

no ABI needed, sender/receiver filtering

▸ factory Dynamically discover and index child contracts

auto-subscribe on PoolCreated, PairCreated, etc.

▸ graphql Auto-generated API with filters, pagination, sorting

_in, _not_in, _gte, _lte, AND/OR composition

▸ stream Webhooks and RabbitMQ for real-time pipelines

per-event JSON messages, lazy reconnect

▸ chains Ethereum, Base, OP Mainnet, Unichain, World Chain

one chain key in TOML, own devp2p network each

▸ verify Peer quorum on each segment's canonical hash

header chain linked + payload roots checked, no quorum no commit
