Deploying an Indexer (Subgraph) on Celo with The Graph
Step-by-step guide to deploying a subgraph on Celo using The Graph for efficient blockchain data indexing and querying.
Setting up a subgraph on Celo with Mobula’s infrastructure is an easy process. This tutorial will guide you through each step to get your subgraph operational on the Celo 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
Prepare Your Subgraph
Configure your subgraph for Celo. Adjust your subgraph.yaml file to reference Celo-specific contracts and events. If you don’t have a subgraph yet, you can clone the Uniswap V2 subgraph template and tailor it for Celo:
git clone https://github.com/MobulaFi/univ2-subgraph-celo
Install Dependencies
Make sure you have The Graph CLI installed:
npm install -g @graphprotocol/graph-cli
Build Your Subgraph
Compile your subgraph before deployment:
graph codegen && graph build
Create the Subgraph
Use the following command to deploy your subgraph:
graph create --node http://subgraph.mobula.io:8020
Deploy to Mobula's Celo Node
Use the following command to deploy your subgraph:
graph deploy --node http://subgraph.mobula.io:8020 --ipfs http://subgraph.mobula.io:5001 --network celo
Authenticate
When requested, input your Mobula API key for authentication. Check the authentication section for detailed instructions on obtaining and using your API key.
Monitor Deployment
After deployment, you’ll receive a URL to monitor your subgraph’s indexing progress and status.
Best Practices
- Ensure your subgraph is consistently updated to stay compatible with the latest Celo network changes.
- Perform thorough testing on a testnet before deploying to the mainnet.
- Regularly monitor its performance and optimize queries for improved efficiency.
Troubleshooting
If you face issues during deployment:
- Review your
subgraph.yamlfile carefully. - Ensure the network name and Mobula node URLs are correct.
- Check that your API key is valid and has the appropriate permissions.
