Introduction - EigenExplorer Docs

Welcome

This section outlines how our data is being processed and calculated in both our dashboard and our data api.

Data Sources

Our data infrastructure is built upon the EigenLayer smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. These contracts serve as the primary source of our data, delivering critical information through event logs, state data, and transaction details.

Data Calculations

In addition to the raw on-chain data obtained from the source smart contracts, we perform various calculations to enhance our insights within the restaking ecosystem. This includes metrics such as rewards and other key performance indicators.

Data Collection & Synchronization

We maintain different synchronization frequencies based on the nature of the data and its update requirements:

Data Type	Update Frequency	Description
Core Protocol Data	Every 2 minutes	TVL, operator statistics, and staker activities
Beacon Chain Data	Every 10 minutes	Beacon chain ETH TVL calculations
LST Strategy Data	Real-time	Direct contract queries for current strategy states
Position Data	Database-backed	Regular updates through event processing
