Sei Data: Index Trades, Tokens, and Contracts on the Sei EVM
Index Sei's parallelized EVM contract events, token transfers, and decoded trades in one pipeline, delivered to your own database. Real-time and full historical data, no node to run.
Sei calls itself the blockchain for trading, a Layer 1 built for the performance digital asset markets demand. Its parallelized EVM, shipped with Sei V2, runs Solidity contracts with full bytecode compatibility while executing independent transactions side by side instead of one at a time. Twin-Turbo consensus drives roughly 400ms block times and near-instant finality, which is why exchanges, perps venues, and high-frequency DeFi land here. Sei now runs as an EVM-only chain after its SIP-3 transition retired the Cosmos side, including CosmWasm and IBC. You can read how the team frames it at sei.io.
That speed is the data problem. When trades settle in under half a second and parallel execution packs orders into every block, swap events, order updates, and token transfers stream off Sei faster than a hand-rolled scraper can keep up. Indexing Co covers the Sei EVM 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 Sei data is hard
What Indexing Co delivers for Sei
Stand up and maintain the whole stack yourself.
- Run a Sei archive node or wire up a third-party EVM 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 Sei to your store.
- Sei EVM 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 Sei, for example |
|---|---|
| Contract events and logs | DEX swaps, perps order and fill events |
| Token transfers (ERC-20, ERC-721) | Stablecoin payments, NFT mints |
| Decoded transactions and traces | Smart-wallet and router multicalls |
| Protocol and account state | Pool reserves, lending positions, vault balances |
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;
}
Sei with Indexing Co
You want full control of node infrastructure and have the team to operate a Sei archive node, decode every protocol's ABIs, and build backfill and reorg handling in-house.
You want Sei EVM contract events, token transfers, and decoded trades delivered to your own database, with real-time plus complete history and no infrastructure to run.

FAQ
Do I need to run a Sei node?
No. Indexing Co sources Sei EVM 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 the Sei EVM?
Yes. Point a pipeline at any Sei contract or set of contracts, from DEXes and perps venues to lending markets or your own deployments, and we decode the events against the right ABI.
Does Indexing Co keep up with Sei's sub-second blocks?
Yes. The pipeline ingests Sei's roughly 400ms blocks in real time and preserves transaction order, so trade-sensitive data stays correct as the chain advances.
Where does the Sei 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 Sei data?
Yes. We backfill from your chosen start block and merge it with real-time data, so your Sei dataset is gap-free from genesis forward if you want it.
