🔍 PoiPal

🚀  Blazing fast CLI tool for Proof of Indexing (POI) Investigations on The Graph

A powerful command-line interface for fetching and analyzing Proof of Indexing (POI) data from The Graph Network. PoiPal helps indexers and developers verify POI consistency, detect divergences, and troubleshoot indexing issues with beautiful, table-formatted output.

✨ Features

• 🔄 Multi-threaded POI fetching for blazing-fast performance
• 📊 Table-formatted output grouped by POI hash
• 🔍 Binary search divergence detection to find exact divergence points
• 🤖 Automatic block detection from IPFS manifests and chain head

Prerequisites 🛠️

• Rust - Install Rust
• The Graph API Key (for network subgraph access). You can get it from The Graph Studio

Installation 💻

cargo install poipal

Usage

PoiPal provides two main commands:

1. POI Command - Fetch POIs for a specific block

poipal poi --deployment <DEPLOYMENT_ID> --block <BLOCK_NUMBER> --api-key <GRAPH_API_KEY>

Example:

poipal poi \
  --deployment QmdKXcBUHR3UyURqVRQHu1oV6VUkBrhi2vNvMx3bNDnUCc \
  --block 370000000 \
  --api-key your_graph_api_key_here

2. Check Divergence Command - Find POI divergences using binary search

poipal check-divergence \
  --deployment <DEPLOYMENT_ID> \
  --start-block <START_BLOCK> \
  --end-block <END_BLOCK> \
  --indexer <TRUSTED_INDEXER_ID> \
  --api-key <GRAPH_API_KEY>

Example with all parameters:

poipal check-divergence \
  --deployment QmdKXcBUHR3UyURqVRQHu1oV6VUkBrhi2vNvMx3bNDnUCc \
  --start-block 370000000 \
  --end-block 371000000 \
  --indexer 0xbdfb5ee5a2abf4fc7bb1bd1221067aef7f9de491 \
  --api-key your_graph_api_key_here

Example with auto-detection (recommended):

# Auto-detects start block from IPFS manifest and end block from chain head
poipal check-divergence \
  --deployment QmdKXcBUHR3UyURqVRQHu1oV6VUkBrhi2vNvMx3bNDnUCc \
  --indexer 0xbdfb5ee5a2abf4fc7bb1bd1221067aef7f9de491 \
  --api-key your_graph_api_key_here

Environment Variables 🔧

Set these environment variables to avoid passing them as CLI arguments:

# Required: The Graph API key
export GRAPH_API_KEY="your_graph_api_key_here"

# Optional: Trusted indexer for divergence checking
export TRUSTED_INDEXER="0xbdfb5ee5a2abf4fc7bb1bd1221067aef7f9de491"
