## Sample Notice
This dataset contains **a small sample** of the full BlockDB ERC-20 Tokens dataset.
It is provided **for evaluation, research, and interoperability testing only**.
If you need full historical coverage, real-time streaming, or end-of-day (EOD) exports
please contact us directly:
📧 **support@blockdb.io**

## Dataset Overview
Catalog of ERC-20 token contracts discovered on-chain. Each row represents a unique ERC-20 token with its metadata (name, symbol, decimals) and provenance information indicating where the token was first recognized or derived from on-chain activity.
Every token record includes deterministic tracing IDs that link the record to its genesis event and upstream sources, enabling full provenance tracking for downstream analytics.
## Chains and Coverage
ETH, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, Unichain, Avalanche, Polygon, Celo, Linea, Optimism (others on request).
Full history from chain genesis; reorg-aware real-time ingestion and updates.
## Schema
List of columns exactly as delivered:
• contract_address BYTEA – 20-byte address of the ERC-20 token contract (primary key)
• block_number BIGINT – Block of the log attributed as the genesis/recognition point
• block_time TIMESTAMPTZ – UTC timestamp when the block was mined
• tx_index INTEGER – Transaction index within the block
• log_index INTEGER – Log index within the block
• name TEXT – Name of the ERC-20 token
• symbol TEXT – Symbol/ticker of the ERC-20 token
• decimals SMALLINT – Number of decimal places used by the ERC-20 token
• _tracing_id BYTEA – Tracing ID of this ERC-20 token record
• _genesis_tracing_ids BYTEA[] – Tracing IDs of the genesis records leading to this token record
• _parent_tracing_ids BYTEA[] – Tracing IDs of the parent records leading to this token record
• _created_at TIMESTAMPTZ – Record creation timestamp
• _updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ – Record last update timestamp
### Notes
• Primary key: contract_address guarantees uniqueness per token.
• Indexes on (block_number, tx_index, log_index), block_number, and block_time support fast lookups.
• Binary values can be rendered as hex via encode(column, 'hex') in SQL for display or downstream joins.
## Lineage
Each token record includes deterministic _tracing_id, _genesis_tracing_ids, and _parent_tracing_ids, providing:
• Provenance tracking from raw logs to decoded token metadata
• Reproducible analytics and signal extraction
• Cross-system consistency checks (RPC vs. indexers vs. internal warehouses)
## Common Use Cases
• Building token registries and metadata catalogs
• Enriching swap, liquidity, and DeFi analytics with token information
• Token discovery and new listing detection
• Portfolio tracking and wallet analytics
## Quality
• Verifiable lineage: deterministic cryptographic hashes per row
• Reorg-aware ingestion: continuity and consistency across forks
• Complete historical coverage: from chain genesis to present
