NEW EPISODE 🚨 Should we Keep Event Logs on Ethereum?? 🤔

@alvinh (shadow.xyz) & @tynes (@optimism) joined us this week to share their perspective and help answer this very question

As crypto scales, there will be demand for 100x more structured data about onchain activity than there is today

In *addition* to onchain logs, offchain logs are a necessary piece of the puzzle. They are not mutually exclusive

Like subgraphs, dune spells, and much other offchain data infrastructure, offchain events are an interpretation layer that aid our understanding of what’s happening onchain

Shadow empowers developers with more control over what, how, and when they log contracts

You can get offchain logs on your own node by running open source shadow-reth

Or let us manage the infra for you with Shadow’s hosted platform
