Quick Start

Get the demo running end-to-end in minutes.

1) Install dependencies

pnpm i

2) Set up environment

Copy the example environment file:

cp .env.example .env

Make sure to fill in any required values inside .env (e.g. RPC URLs or API keys if used).

3) Start Redis

Run Redis locally (choose Docker or Podman):

# Using Docker
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack:latest
 
# Using Podman
podman run -d -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack:latest

4) Start the demo indexer

Run the included Uniswap V2 demo adapter:

pnpm start adapters/uniswap-v2/tests/config/uniswap-v2.absinthe.json

Result: You'll see Uniswap V2 swap events streaming to a CSV file with live USD pricing. This confirms your environment is working end-to-end.
