Scroll Data: Index Contracts, Tokens, and zkEVM Activity
Index Scroll's contract events, token transfers, and decoded transactions in one pipeline, delivered to your own database. Real-time and complete historical data, no node to run.
Scroll is a zkEVM Layer 2 for Ethereum, a zero-knowledge rollup that reaches bytecode-level equivalence with the EVM. Every opcode runs the way it does on Ethereum mainnet, so contracts written in Solidity or Vyper deploy unchanged and tooling carries over without a translation layer. Scroll batches transactions, generates validity proofs, and posts both to Ethereum L1, which is how it keeps fees low while inheriting L1 security. In September 2026 the Scroll team said it plans to turn Scroll into a private, application-specific network built around its AI product Compass over about nine months; the plan is not yet a DAO-approved proposal. The team's site is scroll.io.
That proof-backed design is also where the data work begins. Scroll settles through a sequencing layer and a proving layer before anything lands on L1, and the decoded chain still spills out contract events, token transfers, and traces from every contract deployed there. Indexing Co covers Scroll in a single pipeline, decodes the raw chain into the shape you want, and delivers it to your own PostgreSQL, warehouse, or webhook. Real-time and full history, with no node to operate.
Why Scroll data is hard
What Indexing Co delivers for Scroll
Stand up and maintain the whole stack yourself.
- Run a Scroll archive node or wire up a third-party RPC.
- Fetch and decode logs, traces, and receipts against the right ABIs.
- Track proxy upgrades and per-protocol event schemas by hand.
- Build backfill, reorg handling, and real-time delivery from scratch.
One pipeline sources, decodes, and delivers Scroll to your store.
- Scroll contract events, token transfers, and decoded txs in a single pipeline.
- Decoded data, shaped by your JavaScript transform.
- Lands in your PostgreSQL, BigQuery, warehouse, or webhook.
- Real-time delivery plus complete backfilled history. No node, no RPC babysitting.
What you can index
| EVM data type | On Scroll, for example |
|---|---|
| Contract events and logs | DEX swaps, lending borrows and repays |
| Token transfers (ERC-20, ERC-721) | USDC and ETH transfers, NFT mints |
| Decoded transactions and traces | L1-to-L2 deposits, bridge withdrawals |
| Protocol and account state | Lending positions, vault balances, token holdings |
A transform, not a subgraph
You write the transform in JavaScript, not AssemblyScript, and change it without re-indexing from block zero. Indexing Co runs your function over each block server-side: decode the logs you care about and return rows for your destination.
// Indexing Co transform: reshape each block into rows for your database
function transform(block) {
const results = [];
const signatures = [
'event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 value)'
];
for (const tx of block.transactions || []) {
for (const log of tx.receipt?.logs || []) {
const event = utils.evmDecodeLogWithMetadata(log, signatures);
if (!event) continue;
results.push({
chain: block._network,
block: Number(block.number),
tx_hash: tx.hash,
contract_address: log.address?.toLowerCase(),
from: event.decoded.from,
to: event.decoded.to,
value: event.decoded.value,
});
}
}
return results;
}
Scroll with Indexing Co
You want full control of node infrastructure and have the team to operate a Scroll archive node, decode every protocol's ABIs, and build backfill and reorg handling in-house.
You want Scroll contract events, token transfers, and decoded transactions delivered to your own database, with real-time plus complete history and no infrastructure to run.

FAQ
Do I need to run a Scroll node?
No. Indexing Co sources Scroll blocks, logs, and traces for you, including full historical data, so you never operate an archive node or babysit an RPC endpoint.
Can I index any protocol on Scroll?
Yes. Point a pipeline at any Scroll contract or set of contracts, from DEX pools and lending markets to your own deployments, and we decode the events against the right ABI. Because Scroll is bytecode-equivalent with the EVM, the same ABIs you use on Ethereum mainnet apply here.
Does Indexing Co handle Scroll reorgs and proxy upgrades?
Yes. The pipeline accounts for chain reorganizations and tracks proxy implementation changes so your decoded data stays correct as contracts upgrade.
Where does the Scroll data go?
Into your own destination: PostgreSQL, BigQuery, a warehouse, or a webhook. You define the output schema and own the storage.
Can I get complete historical Scroll data?
Yes. We backfill from your chosen start block and merge it with real-time data, so your Scroll dataset is gap-free from the chain's mainnet launch forward if you want it.
