Ord canister

A canister for indexing RUNE UTXOs on bitcoin.

Overview

The Ord canister periodically fetch bitcoin blocks from btc-rpc-proxy since 840000 using HTTP-outcall and resolve all transactions to RUNE UTXOs. The main purpose of this canister is providing an online decentralized RUNE indexer for querying all etched RUNE assets given a UTXO.

Currently, the Ord canister has been deployed on mainnet: o25oi-jaaaa-aaaal-ajj6a-cai and ready to serve.

Rust usage:

use rune_indexer_interface::*;

let indexer = Principal::from_text("o25oi-jaaaa-aaaal-ajj6a-cai").unwrap();
let (result,): (Result<Vec<RuneBalance>, OrdError>,) = ic_cdk::call(indexer, "get_runes_by_utxo", ("ee8345590d85047c66a0e131153e5202b9bda3990bd07decd9df0a9bb2589348", 0)).await.unwrap();

RPC Proxy

Usually, the bitcoin RPC getblocks responses are greater than 2M which exceeds the max_response_bytes limit of HTTP-outcall, so we have to implement Range requests in Ord canister then combine the responses into btc raw transactions.

For the same reason, the ord canister requires the RPC servers to support HTTP Range requests while most RPC providers don't. So, there is a crate btc-rpc-proxy behalf the real RPC providers.

When btc-rpc-proxy receives a request from Ord canister, if the request header contains a range field, it will split the response body following the range then return to Ord canister. Typically, Ord caister needs to repeat 3 requests on a same block to fully fetch it.
