Brontes Book
Documentation for Brontes users and developers.
Brontes is a blazingly fast and modular blockchain analytics pipeline, designed to systematically identify MEV.
Why Brontes?
Brontes, developed by Sorella Labs, is a blockchain analytics pipeline built on top of Reth. It addresses a critical challenge in blockchain research: the overwhelming flood of data and tedious preprocessing that often derail researchers from their core focus.
Key features:
- Transforms raw Ethereum data into a structured, analyzable format
- Enhances analysis with off-chain data (metadata, CEX prices, p2p data...)
- Provides a modular framework to easily implement user-defined inspectors for custom analytics
Blockchain data analysis, especially at the trace level, can overwhelm even seasoned researchers. While a few masochists might find satisfaction in the chore of data preprocessing and normalization, most of us are captivated by the intellectual challenge of crafting innovative analytical techniques.
Our Inspector Framework allows you to focus on developing and applying novel methodologies. By eliminating initial hurdles, Brontes frees you to immerse yourself in creative analysis rather than getting bogged down in preprocessing.
Who is this for?
Brontes is designed for:
- Blockchain researchers and data scientists
- MEV analysts and strategists
- DeFi protocol developers
- Anyone working with large-scale Ethereum data
