AccessNode Indexing Modes

AccessNode offers two distinct indexing modes: Light Mode and Full Mode. These modes control the amount and type of data being indexed and allow you to customize how much blockchain information you want to track.

Light Mode

Light mode focuses on tracking basic purchase and user data. This mode is ideal for integrating AccessNode into your existing systems and backend services.

Features

• Indexes purchases and user data for each AccessTime contract.
• Best suited for services that don’t require detailed statistics or voting data.
• Lower computational and storage requirements compared to Full mode.

Use Cases

• Integrating AccessNode into a subscription-based service.
• Using AccessNode data to track purchases, user accounts, and other basic events.

Configuration

In Light mode, you will only need to configure:

• Contract addresses
• Networks
• Start blocks for each network

Full Mode

Full mode extends the functionality of Light mode by including additional features like voting, statistics, and project overviews. Full mode is suitable for more complex use cases where you want to track comprehensive data and provide analytics on the AccessTime ecosystem.

Features

• Includes all Light mode features.
• Tracks statistics and voting data for each contract.
• Provides an overview of all projects (contract addresses) within the system.
• Ideal for analytics and governance scenarios.

Use Cases

• Supporting a more complex decentralized application (dApp) that requires voting and statistics.
• Building dashboards or analytics services for blockchain-based projects.

Configuration

Full mode requires all configurations from Light mode.
