cryo is the easiest way to extract blockchain data to parquet, csv, json, or a python dataframe.

cryo is also extremely flexible, with many different options to control how data is extracted + filtered + formatted

cryo is an early WIP, please report bugs + feedback to the issue tracker

note that cryo's default settings will slam a node too hard for use with 3rd party RPC providers. Instead, --requests-per-second and --max-concurrent-requests should be used to impose ratelimits. Such settings will be handled automatically in a future release.

Example Usage

use as cryo <dataset> [OPTIONS]

Example Command
Extract all logs from block 16,000,000 to block 17,000,000 cryo logs -b 16M:17M
Extract blocks, logs, or traces missing from current directory cryo blocks txs traces
Extract to csv instead of parquet cryo blocks txs traces --csv
Extract only certain columns cryo blocks --include number timestamp
Dry run to view output schemas or expected work cryo storage_diffs --dry
Extract all USDC events cryo logs --contract 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48

For a more complex example, see the Uniswap Example.

cryo uses ETH_RPC_URL env var as the data source unless --rpc <url> is given

Installation

The simplest way to use cryo is as a cli tool:

Method 1: install from source

git clone https://github.com/paradigmxyz/cryo
cd cryo
cargo install --path ./crates/cli

This method requires having rust installed. See rustup for instructions.

Method 2: install from crates.io

cargo install cryo_cli

This method requires having rust installed. See rustup for instructions.

Make sure that ~/.cargo/bin is on your PATH. One way to do this is by adding the line export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH" to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile.

Python Instalation

cryo can also be installed as a python package:

Installing cryo python from pypi

(make sure rust is installed first, see rustup)

pip install maturin
pip install cryo

Installing cryo python from source

pip install maturin
git clone https://github.com/paradigmxyz/cryo
cd cryo/crates/python
maturin build --release
pip install --force-reinstall <OUTPUT_OF_MATURIN_BUILD>.whl

Data Schemas

Many cryo cli options will affect output schemas by adding/removing columns or changing column datatypes.

cryo will always print out data schemas before collecting any data. To view these schemas without collecting data, use --dry to perform a dry run.

Schema Design Guide

An attempt is made to ensure that the dataset schemas conform to a common set of design guidelines:

  • By default, rows should contain enough information in their columns to be order-able (unless the rows do not have an intrinsic order).
  • Columns should usually be named by their JSON-RPC or ethers.rs defaults, except in cases where a much more explicit name is available.
  • To make joins across tables easier, a given piece of information should use the same datatype and column name across tables when possible.
  • Large ints such as u256 should allow multiple conversions. A value column of type u256 should allow: value_binary, value_string, value_f32, value_f64, value_u32, value_u64, and value_d128. These types can be specified at runtime using the --u256-types argument.
  • By default, columns related to non-identifying cryptographic signatures are omitted by default. For example, state_root of a block or v/r/s of a transaction.
  • Integer values that can never be negative should be stored as unsigned integers.
  • Every table should allow a chain_id column so that data from multiple chains can be easily stored in the same table.

Standard types across tables:

  • block_number: u32
  • transaction_index: u32
  • nonce: u32
  • gas_used: u64
  • gas_limit: u64
  • chain_id: u64
  • timestamp: u32

JSON-RPC

cryo currently obtains all of its data using the JSON-RPC protocol standard.

dataset blocks per request results per block method
Blocks 1 1 eth_getBlockByNumber
Transactions 1 multiple eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_getBlockReceipts, eth_getTransactionReceipt
Logs multiple multiple eth_getLogs
Contracts 1 multiple trace_block
Traces 1 multiple trace_block
State Diffs 1 multiple trace_replayBlockTransactions
Vm Traces 1 multiple trace_replayBlockTransactions

cryo use ethers.rs to perform JSON-RPC requests, so it can be used any chain that ethers-rs is compatible with. This includes Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB, and Avalanche.

A future version of cryo will be able to bypass JSON-RPC and query node data directly.

Code Guide

  • Code is arranged into the following crates:
    • cryo_cli: convert textual data into cryo function calls
    • cryo_freeze: core cryo code
    • cryo_python: cryo python adapter
    • cryo_to_df: procedural macro for generating dataset definitions
  • Do not use panics (including panic!, todo!, unwrap(), and expect()) except in the following circumstances: tests, build scripts, lazy static blocks, and procedural macros
