EthTx - Ethereum transactions decoder

Introduction

Source Code: https://github.com/ethtx/ethtx

Installation

pip install ethtx

Requirements

The package needs a few external resources, defined in EthTxConfig object:

1. Erigon/Geth node - required to have access to the raw Ethereum data; it must be a full archive node with the debug option ON
2. Etherscan API key - required to get the source code and ABI for smart contracts used in transaction
3. (Optional) MongoDB database - required to store smart contracts' ABI and semantics used in the decoding process. If you don't want to setup permanent database, you can enter mongomock://localhost/ethtx, then in-memory mongo will be set up that discards all data with every run.

Getting started

from ethtx import EthTx, EthTxConfig
from ethtx.models.decoded_model import DecodedTransaction

ethtx_config = EthTxConfig(
    mongo_connection_string="mongomock://localhost/ethtx",  ##MongoDB connection string,
    etherscan_api_key="",  ##Etherscan API key,
    web3nodes={
        "mainnet": {
            "hook": "_Geth_archive_node_URL_",  # multiple nodes supported, separate them with comma
            "poa": _POA_chain_indicator_  # represented by bool value
        }
    },
    default_chain="mainnet",
    etherscan_urls={"mainnet": "https://api.etherscan.io/api", },
)

ethtx = EthTx.initialize(ethtx_config)
decoded_transaction: DecodedTransaction = ethtx.decoders.decode_transaction(
    '0x50051e0a6f216ab9484c2080001c7e12d5138250acee1f4b7c725b8fb6bb922d')

Features

EthTx most important functions:

1. Raw node data access:

web3provider = ethtx.providers.web3provider

from ethtx.models.w3_model import W3Transaction, W3Block, W3Receipt, W3CallTree

# read raw transaction data directly from the node
w3transaction: W3Transaction = web3provider.get_transaction(
    '0x50051e0a6f216ab9484c2080001c7e12d5138250acee1f4b7c725b8fb6bb922d')
w3block: W3Block = web3provider.get_block(w3transaction.blockNumber)
w3receipt: W3Receipt = web3provider.get_receipt(w3transaction.hash.hex())
w3calls: W3CallTree = web3provider.get_calls(w3transaction.hash.hex())

2. ABI decoding:

from ethtx.models.decoded_model import (
    DecodedTransfer,
    DecodedBalance,
    DecodedEvent, DecodedCall,
)
from ethtx.models.objects_model import Transaction, Event, Block, Call

# read the raw transaction from the node
transaction = Transaction.from_raw(
    w3transaction=w3transaction, w3receipt=w3receipt, w3calltree=w3calls
)

# get proxies used in the transaction
proxies = ethtx.decoders.get_proxies(transaction.root_call, "mainnet")

block: Block = Block.from_raw(
    w3block=web3provider.get_block(transaction.metadata.block_number),
    chain_id="mainnet",
)

# decode transaction components
abi_decoded_events: List[Event] = ethtx.decoders.abi_decoder.decode_events(
    transaction.events, block.metadata, transaction.metadata
)
abi_decoded_calls: DecodedCall = ethtx.decoders.abi_decoder.decode_calls(
    transaction.root_call, block.metadata, transaction.metadata, proxies
)
abi_decoded_transfers: List[
    DecodedTransfer
] = ethtx.decoders.abi_decoder.decode_transfers(abi_decoded_calls, abi_decoded_events)
abi_decoded_balances: List[DecodedBalance] = ethtx.decoders.abi_decoder.decode_balances(
    abi_decoded_transfers
)

# decode a single event
raw_event: Event = transaction.events[3]
abi_decoded_event: DecodedEvent = ethtx.decoders.abi_decoder.decode_event(
    raw_event, block.metadata, transaction.metadata
)

# decode a single call
raw_call: Call = transaction.root_call.subcalls[0]
abi_decoded_call: DecodedCall = ethtx.decoders.abi_decoder.decode_call(
    raw_call, block.metadata, transaction.metadata, proxies
)

3. Semantic decoding:

from ethtx.models.decoded_model import DecodedTransactionMetadata

# semantically decode transaction components
decoded_metadata: DecodedTransactionMetadata = (
    ethtx.decoders.semantic_decoder.decode_metadata(
        block.metadata, transaction.metadata, "mainnet"
    )
)
decoded_events: List[DecodedEvent] = ethtx.decoders.semantic_decoder.decode_events(
    abi_decoded_events, decoded_metadata, proxies
)

decoded_calls: Call = ethtx.decoders.semantic_decoder.decode_calls(
    abi_decoded_calls, decoded_metadata, proxies
)
decoded_transfers: List[
    DecodedTransfer
] = ethtx.decoders.semantic_decoder.decode_transfers(
    abi_decoded_transfers, decoded_metadata
)
decoded_balances: List[
    DecodedBalance
] = ethtx.decoders.semantic_decoder.decode_balances(
    abi_decoded_balances, decoded_metadata
)

# semantically decode a single event
decoded_event: DecodedEvent = ethtx.decoders.semantic_decoder.decode_event(
    abi_decoded_events[0], decoded_metadata, proxies
)
# semantically decode a single call
decoded_call: Call = ethtx.decoders.semantic_decoder.decode_call(
    abi_decoded_calls.subcalls[0], decoded_metadata, proxies
)
