Deploying a subgraph on Base with Mobula’s infrastructure is a simple process. This guide will walk you through the steps to get your subgraph up and running on the Base network.

​
What you’ll need

  • Basic knowledge of The Graph and subgraphs.
  • Your subgraph project files
  • The Graph CLI installed
  • A Mobula API key (for authentication)

​
Walkthrough

1

Prepare Your Subgraph

Make sure your subgraph is set up for Base. Modify your subgraph.yaml file to point to Base-specific contracts and events. If you don’t have a subgraph yet, you can clone the Uniswap V2 subgraph template and adjust it for Base:
git clone https://github.com/MobulaFi/univ2-subgraph-base
2

Install Dependencies

Ensure that The Graph CLI is installed:
npm install -g @graphprotocol/graph-cli
3

Install Mobula CLI

Install our CLI tool using npm:
npm i mobula-cli
4

Setup API Key

Configure your API key with the CLI. You can get your API key from the Dashboard. Please refer to the authentication section for detailed steps on obtaining your API key.
mob apikey set
5

Build Your Subgraph

Compile your subgraph before deployment:
graph codegen && graph build
6

Deploy your subgraph

Deploy your subgraph using the Mobula CLI:
mob deploy -n subgraphName
7

Monitor Deployment

After deployment, you’ll receive a URL to monitor your subgraph’s indexing progress and status.

​
Best Practices

  • Keep your subgraph regularly updated to maintain compatibility with the latest Base network changes.
  • Thoroughly test your subgraph on a testnet before deploying to the mainnet.
  • Continuously monitor your subgraph’s performance and optimize queries for better efficiency.

​
Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during deployment:
  • Carefully review your subgraph.yaml configuration.
  • Confirm that you’re using the correct network name and Mobula node URLs.
  • Make sure your API key is valid and has the required permissions.
