RPC Event Service is a Node.js application that listens for and processes events from an EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) blockchain. This service utilizes RPC (Remote Procedure Call) to capture and respond to events triggered by smart contracts. It is built with Node.js and Express.js, and is designed for real-time event handling and scalability.
- Blockchain Event Capture: Listens to smart contract events on an EVM-compatible blockchain (Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, etc.).
- Real-Time Processing: Processes events in real time with minimal latency to enable quick reactions to blockchain activity.
- Integration: Seamlessly integrates with other backend services for processing blockchain data (e.g., updating databases, triggering notifications, etc.).
- Event Logs: Captures and stores all blockchain events with detailed information for analysis and troubleshooting.
- Scalability: Built using a microservice architecture, allowing the service to scale horizontally as needed.
- Node.js: JavaScript runtime for building the backend.
- Express.js: Lightweight web framework for building RESTful APIs and handling HTTP requests.
- MongoDB (Optional): For storing event logs, if required.
