Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want a small JavaScript example for configuring and starting wallet transfer monitoring, especially for the testnet scenario described in its README.
Who it is for
- Developers learning or prototyping Ethereum wallet-transfer monitoring.
- Teams exploring a configurable Ether and ERC-20 transfer-tracking example.
Documented uses
- Track Ether transfers involving configured wallet values and an amount.
- Track token transfers using a configured token contract address.
- Run a transfer-monitoring demonstration against the documented Rinkeby testnet setup.
Requirements & limits
- Requires Node.js 8 or later; Yarn is listed as optional.
- Configuration includes RPC and WebSocket endpoints, a token contract address, wallet values and an amount.
- The README's run instructions use a Rinkeby testnet example.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up and start the transfer tracker example
Configure the example for specified wallets and an amount, then start its service as described in the README.
Before you start
- Node.js 8 or later
- Yarn is optional
- An Ethereum RPC endpoint and WebSocket endpoint
- A token contract address, wallet values and an amount
Steps
Clone the repository and change into its project directory.
Install dependencies with Yarn, as shown in the README.
Fill .env from .env.example with the token contract address, wallet values, amount and connection settings.
Run yarn start; the README describes making a transfer between wallets on its Rinkeby testnet example.
Expected outcome
The configured Node.js service starts for the documented transfer-tracking example.
Guide limitations
- The documented running example uses Rinkeby and the supplied Pluton token contract address.
- The README does not describe production deployment or a separate alerting interface.
