Indexed ModeBlockchain Data

Mode is an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack, part of the Optimism Superchain, and open to the public since January 2024. It is an optimistic rollup: a sequencer orders transactions into two-second blocks and posts them to Ethereum, which holds the data and settles the chain. Execution is the EVM, unchanged, with the usual twenty-byte addresses, and gas is paid in ETH. MODE, introduced in 2024, is a separate token and does not pay for transactions. What distinguishes the network is where fee revenue goes. Through its fee-sharing system a developer registers a deployed contract and receives a transferable token representing the claim on the sequencer fees that contract produces; the accrued balance is withdrawn by whoever holds that token at the time. The chain’s own blocks start in late 2023, a few months before the public launch.

SonarX indexes blocks and headers, transactions and receipts, event logs decoded against contract ABIs, execution traces including internal value transfers, and token transfers and balances. The same normalized model is used on every chain SonarX covers, so Mode sits beside the other Superchain networks in one dataset instead of one pipeline each.

Full historical coverage is available today as a data-share or a file delivery. Real-time delivery is enabled on request. Balance tables and the balance APIs can be enabled for Mode on request. Kafka streaming can be enabled for Mode on request.

Revenue attribution on this chain is a graph problem, not a column. Fees earned by a contract accrue to a claim that is held as a token and can be sold, so the address that deployed a contract is not necessarily the address that collected from it, and an answer to who earned what is only correct if the claim’s ownership history is indexed alongside the fee accruals and withdrawals. The chain’s start needs care too: blocks exist from late 2023, months before the launch that brought users, so any activity baseline drawn from the first blocks is measuring an empty chain rather than a quiet one.

The recurring workload is application economics. A team running a protocol here can measure what its own contracts generated, what was withdrawn against that, and how the two diverge over a quarter, which is a reporting question rather than a research one. Position-level DeFi analytics is the second, since lending and yield strategies are the bulk of what the chain hosts and their state lives in decoded events. Cross-chain user analysis is the third: the same wallets appear on Optimism and the other Superchain networks, and following one user across them is only possible when the chains sit in one schema. Analysts on the outside read the fee-sharing registrations as a signal of which contracts a team expects to matter, which is a fourth. Treasury reporting draws on the same records.

Tell us the delivery target, how far back you need and how fresh it has to be, and the share is scoped against that. Mode history is available now, including the quiet months of blocks that precede the public launch. The published coverage matrix for every network SonarX indexes lives in the data documentation, and the rest of the catalogue is at all indexed chains.
