Firehose: gRPC Endpoint details #13

Closed jubeless closed 2 months ago

jubeless commented 1 year ago

We need a page to explain the steps and what to expect from the firehose/substreams gRPC output. How they relate to different chain's websockets and/or polling mechanisms.

Context is someone asking:

"What's the difference between RPC calls eth_newHeads + eth_getBlockByNumber and Firehose push mechanic mentioned here https://thegraph.com/blog/substreams-parallel-processing"
