Visualize Ethereum ERC20 Token Data Using Amazon Managed Blockchain Query and Amazon QuickSight

Businesses issuing stablecoins or other Ethereum-based tokens (like Paxos) often need to track critical metrics such as:

• Top holders
• Daily active users
• Transaction volume
• Total holders
• Latest transfers
• Top DeFi protocols used by the token

With Amazon Managed Blockchain (AMB) Query and Amazon QuickSight, analyzing ERC20 token data becomes seamless. This guide demonstrates how to leverage AWS data services (like AWS Glue, Athena, and QuickSight) to create actionable dashboards.

Why Use AMB Query for Token Visualization?

1. Real-Time and Historical Data

AMB Query provides:

• Continuously updated finalized data via ListTransactions and ListTransactionEvents APIs.

  • Example: Track PayPal’s PYUSD token transfers to identify top DeFi platforms.
• Historical snapshots of token balances via ListTokenBalances.

2. Cost Efficiency

• Pay-as-you-go pricing eliminates the need for expensive ETL pipelines.
• Predictable costs based on API call complexity.

Solution Architecture

Key Components:

1. AMB Query

   • Fetch token data (transactions, balances, events).

2. AWS Glue

   • Run Python scripts to extract data hourly/daily.

3. Amazon S3

   • Store raw token data.

4. Amazon Athena

   • Query S3 data using SQL.

5. Amazon QuickSight

   • Visualize metrics (e.g., pie charts for top holders).

Hypothetical workflow

Step-by-Step Implementation

1. Prerequisites

• AWS account with IAM permissions.

2. Create an S3 Bucket

• Store token data from AWS Glue jobs.

3. Query Data with AMB Query

Use the AMB Query Editor to:

• Retrieve transactions (ListTransactions).
• Get token balances (ListTokenBalances).

4. AWS Glue Jobs

Job 1: token-transfers.py

• Captures hourly token transfers.
• Scheduled to run every hour.

Job 2: token-snapshot.py

• Generates daily holder snapshots.

5. Query Data in Athena

Create tables for:

• events (transfers).
• token_snapshot (holder balances).

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE events(
  contractaddress STRING,
  eventtype STRING,
  from STRING,
  to STRING,
  value STRING,
  transactionhash STRING,
  transactiontimestamp STRING
) LOCATION 's3://YOUR-BUCKET/TOKEN-ADDRESS/events';

6. QuickSight Dashboards

• Import Athena data.

• Create visualizations:

  • Pie charts for top holders.
  • Line graphs for daily volume.

• Truncate addresses for cleaner labels:

  concat(substring(address, 1, 6), '...', substring(address, 39, 4))

FAQs

Q1: How often does AMB Query update data?

• Finalized data: Updated continuously.
• Historical data: Available on-demand.

Q2: Can I analyze NFTs (ERC721) with this solution?

Yes! Replace the ERC20 token address with an NFT contract address.

Q3: What’s the cost of running this pipeline?

Costs depend on API calls (AMB Query) and QuickSight usage.

Clean Up

• Delete AWS Glue schedules.
• Adjust QuickSight subscription.
• Empty the S3 bucket.
