}The API server (cmd/api-server) watches the addresses of its watch list and posts
signed, Porto-shaped events to a Porto API. This section describes what is implemented
today; the sections above also describe planned features.
All watched addresses read the chain through one shared block scanner
(internal/blockchain/monitor/block_scanner.go): it polls the head (header only, a few
hundred bytes, with a fallback to the full head block on nodes without that query),
fetches and parses every new block once, and fans each transaction out to the monitors
of the addresses it involves. N watched addresses cost one block fetch per block, not N.
The transaction info of a matched transaction is read once, even when several watched
addresses are in it. Each monitor keeps its own event channel, filters and progress
(currentBlock never passes a match that is still being handled).
At startup, watched addresses whose stored block is at most monitor.catchUpWindow
blocks behind the newest one are caught up together by the scanner; an address further
behind (or one added later with an older startBlock) catches up on its own first and
then joins the scanner.
A block that cannot be fetched is retried one poll interval later, by the scanner and by a catch-up alike. A failure counts only while the node answers the head, so a node that is down never makes a block be skipped. After 10 counted failures in a row the block is skipped and recorded as a gap (next section).
On the shared scanner an event waits for room in its monitor's channel instead of being
dropped, and the manager waits for room in the router's queue instead of dropping: the
stored currentBlock of an address never passes an event that was not handed to the
router. Only that address waits; the scanner and the other addresses go on. The
periodic save of currentBlock skips a round while events still wait in the channel,
and a monitor that stops (unsubscribe, shutdown) routes the events already in its
channel before it ends. Every head read and block fetch has a 30 s deadline.
monitor.sharedScanner: false restores one polling loop per watched address. That mode
keeps its old behaviour: a block whose fetch fails is skipped (logged) and no gap is
recorded or retried.
Every skipped block is written to the scanner_gaps collection (block, address for a
catch-up gap or empty for the scanner, error, time, retry attempts, last error, retried
or abandoned time) and logged as a Warn with stable fields: event=block_skipped
(scanner) and event=scanner_gap_recorded (manager), with block, address, error.
The manager retries pending gaps every minute, 10 per round, those tried least recently
first (so gaps that keep failing never starve the others): one block read per gap, then
the block's events are routed through the normal pipeline for every watched address (or
the one address of a catch-up gap). A retry counts as an attempt only while the node
answers a head read, so an outage never brings a gap closer to being abandoned. After
60 counted failed retries a gap is abandoned with an Error log
(event=scanner_gap_abandoned). Gaps a previous run left are loaded at start.
GET /api/v1/health carries the counters to alert on:

curl -X DELETE 'http://mongotron.example.com:8080/api/v1/watchlist/TXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?walletType=keep_level'Wallet types: platform, nps, portal, exchange, gasstation, invoice, general
(the default) and keep_level. A keep_level address is watched for its resource usage
only: it produces energy_usage events and no transfer or operation events for Porto, so
watching it can never credit anything.
Event (eventType) |
Sent for | Path (config key, default) |
|---|---|---|
trx_transfer, trc10_transfer, trc20_transfer (USDT transfer/transferFrom) |
transfers to or from a watched address (watch list entries pass successful transactions only) | webhooks.porto.webhookPath, /v1/webhooks/mongotron/transfer |
freeze_balance, unfreeze_balance, withdraw_unstake, delegate_resource, undelegate_resource, vote_witness, permission_update, claim_rewards |
gas station operations of a watched address | webhooks.porto.operationPath, /v1/webhooks/mongotron/operation |
energy_usage |
every transaction SENT by a watched address of a wallet type in webhooks.porto.usageWalletTypes, successful or failed |
webhooks.porto.usagePath, /v1/webhooks/mongotron/usage |
Every event is a JSON POST signed with the shared secret (webhooks.porto.webhookSecret):
X-MongoTron-Signature = hex HMAC-SHA256(secret, body), X-MongoTron-Signature-V2 =
hex HMAC-SHA256(secret, timestamp + "." + body), X-MongoTron-Timestamp = Unix seconds of
the attempt. X-MongoTron-Event carries the event type and X-Subscription-ID the
subscription. Delivery makes up to 3 attempts with a growing pause (1 s, then 2 s) and
does not retry a 4xx answer other than 408 and 429.
Sent for every transaction whose owner (the account that signs and pays) is the watched
address: any contract call (approve, swap, transfer, a reverted or out-of-energy call:
those consume energy too), a TRX or TRC10 transfer (bandwidth), a delegation, and any
other contract type. It is not sent when the receipt shows nothing was consumed, nor for
transactions where the watched address is only the receiver. The transfer filters of the
subscription (assetTypes, success only) do not apply to it.
Delivery runs on background workers fed by a bounded queue: block processing never waits
for it, and a full queue drops the event (counted in usage.dropped and logged). Treat
the event as a hint ("this address just used resources"), not as an exact ledger.

}| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
eventId |
usage_<txHash>_<subscriptionId>: the same for a redelivery of the same transaction |
blockTimestamp |
block time, Unix milliseconds |
success |
true only when the transaction info proves a successful execution |
result |
receipt result of a contract call (SUCCESS, REVERT, OUT_OF_ENERGY, OUT_OF_TIME, ...); SUCCESS or FAILED for other types; UNKNOWN when the transaction info could not be read |
resultMessage |
the node's result message, when there is one (omitted otherwise) |
receiptKnown |
false when the transaction info could not be read: the figures are then 0 |
ownerAddress |
the sender, always the watched address |
contractAddress, methodSignature, methodName |
the called (or created) contract, the 4-byte selector, the decoded method name when known (omitted when empty) |
energyUsage |
energy taken from the owner's own available energy (its stake plus energy delegated to it): the drop a keep-level rental refills |
energyUsageTotal |
all energy the execution used: own, contract origin and burned |
originEnergyUsage |
energy paid by the contract deployer |
energyPenaltyTotal |
extra energy of the dynamic energy model, part of the total |
energyFee, netFee, fee |
SUN burned for energy, for bandwidth, and the transaction's total fee |
netUsage |
bandwidth taken from the owner's staked or free bandwidth |
walletType, userId, label, metadata, subscriptionId, watchedAddress |
from the watch list registration |
- Register a
keep_leveladdress with"failIfOtherWalletType": trueand remove it withDELETE /api/v1/watchlist/{address}?walletType=keep_level, always. Without them an upsert takes over, and a removal stops, an address watched under another type (an invoice or a platform address). - The usage route (
/v1/webhooks/mongotron/usage) must exist on Porto before anykeep_leveladdress is registered: a 404 is a 4xx answer and is not retried, so those events are lost. energy_usageevents are hints only (a full queue drops them; a node read stays the source of truth). Transfer crediting keeps deduplicating ontxHash: a retried gap or a catch-up can deliver a transfer event again.

Health Check Tests (4):
- Health endpoint validation
- Kubernetes readiness probe
- Kubernetes liveness probe
- Service unavailable handling
Subscription Handler Tests (9):
- Subscription creation (success & validation)
- Subscription retrieval (success & not found)
- Subscription listing (default & custom pagination)
- Subscription deletion (success & error handling)
- Advanced filtering support
Full API Lifecycle:
- Complete subscription flow (create → read → list → delete)
- Error handling scenarios (validation, 404, 500)
- Rate limiting validation (100 req/min)
- Pagination with multiple subscriptions
- Concurrent request handling (10 goroutines)
Unit Tests (fast, no external dependencies):

# Terminal 1: Start API server

# Terminal 2: Run integration tests

open coverage.htmlMongoTron uses testify for mocking and assertions:
func TestExample(t *testing.T) {
// Arrange
mockManager := new(MockSubscriptionManager)
mockManager.On("Subscribe", mock.Anything).Return(subscription, nil)
// Act
result := handler.CreateSubscription(req)
// Assert
assert.Equal(t, 200, result.StatusCode)
mockManager.AssertExpectations(t)
