Shadow is a platform that reduces engineering time and costs for advanced on-chain data indexing and analytics. It helps users obtain more data, save gas, and accelerate product development.The first product allows users to log any desired information on any smart contract without using gas. It offers a production-grade infrastructure for Shadow events, enabling users to obtain custom on-chain data with just a few lines of code.Shadow enables users to modify the source code of deployed contracts to add gasless custom event logs and view functions on a shadow fork that mirrors the mainnet state in real-time.Shadow provides users with tools and infrastructure to:Spin up a new shadow fork with a single clickAugment any contract with custom event logs and view functionsInstantly access data via standard RPC methodsView a real-time feed of shadow events from new transactionsQuickly backfill and export data for historical transactionsShadow is a fully hosted platform that manages various aspects, including:Nodes for both the shadow fork and public chainReal-time synchronization of state, including re-orgsCompilation and deployment of contracts on the shadow forkProxy patterns and application of changes to all factory-created contractsShadow fork and public chain RPC endpointsExport of decoded and indexed event data
