Data catchups/backfill

PreviousDeployNextMonitor Execution

Last updated 7 months ago

Mercury's Data Catchups feature allows you to backfill historical data for your programs. It generates artificial ledger transitions for past events, enabling you to retrieve and process data from before your program creation.

This feature is ideal for projects requiring complete historical records or starting indexing mid-way through a contract's lifecycle. Data Catchups seamlessly integrate past data with your current indexing, ensuring a comprehensive view of on-chain activities without modifying your existing logic.
