Pocketdex Indexer
Pocketdex documentation is minimal. This page covers what is currently known. If you’re building on Pocketdex, check the poktroll repository for the latest source and configuration.
Pocketdex is a blockchain indexer for Pocket Network’s Shannon protocol. It indexes on-chain events and state into a queryable database, enabling applications to efficiently retrieve historical data that would be expensive to compute from raw chain state.
What Pocketdex Does
- Indexes Shannon chain events (claims, proofs, settlements, staking transactions, governance actions)
- Provides queryable APIs for historical relay data, token flows, and actor state changes
- Powers analytics platforms like POKTscan with the underlying data layer
When to Use Pocketdex
Use Pocketdex if you’re building a tool that needs historical or aggregated chain data — analytics dashboards, reward calculators, network health monitors, or governance tracking tools. For simple current-state queries (balances, parameters, active actors), the standard pocketd CLI or REST/gRPC endpoints are sufficient.
Getting Started
Pocketdex is part of the poktroll repository. For setup and configuration, consult the developer guide in the poktroll docusaurus documentation under 4_develop/developer_guide/.
