The Fuel indexer is a standalone service that can be used to index various components of the blockchain. These indexable components include blocks, transactions, receipts, and state within the Fuel network, allowing for high-performance read-only access to the blockchain for advanced dApp use-cases.
TLDR: It's Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for Web3 dApp backends.
Fuel's indexer supports Linux (x64 & arm64) and macOS (x64 & Apple Silicon).
If you don't want to deal with dependency issues we recommend just using Fuel's indexer with Docker, via the included docker-compose file.
Install Fuel's toolchain manager - fuelup.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://install.fuel.network/fuelup-init.sh | shThe
