Filtering Options​

The filter options are defined in the request.proto file. You can filter transfers using the following filters:

message SubscribeTransfersRequest {
  AddressFilter sender = 1;
  AddressFilter receiver = 2;
  AddressFilter token = 3;
}

Available filters:

  • sender: Filter by sender's address
  • receiver: Filter by receiver's address
  • token: Filter by token mint address (e.g., WSOL, USDC)

Transfer Types​

The transfers stream captures various transfer-related events:

  • SPL Token transfers: Standard token transfers using SPL Token program
  • SPL Token 2022 transfers: Enhanced token transfers with additional features
  • SOL transfers: Native Solana transfers
  • Authority transfers: Transfers authorized by token authorities

Transfer Data Fields​

  • Amount: The amount being transferred (in smallest unit)
  • Sender: The source account/token account
  • Receiver: The destination account/token account
  • Authority: The account that authorized the transfer
  • Currency: Token information including mint address and decimals
  • InstructionIndex: The position of the transfer instruction in the transaction
