Let's check all USDC transfers but filter transactions where the recipient or the sender is the zero address and if the amount is greater or equal to 10000 USDC.

  1. Create a new Stream


  2. Fill out the Stream settings:

    - Add the USDC contract address



    - Input the event ABI and select the Transfer topic




    - Set the filter for Mints & Burns by adding below values (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000)

    Programmatically

    const transferUsdcAbi = [
    {
    anonymous: false,
    inputs: [
    {
    indexed: true,
    internalType: "address",
    name: "from",
    type: "address",
    },
    {
    indexed: true,
    internalType: "address",
    name: "to",
    type: "address",
    },
    {
    indexed: false,
    internalType: "uint256",
    name: "value",
    type: "uint256",
    },
    ],
    name: "Transfer",
    type: "event",
    },
    ];

    const filter = {
    or: [
    {
    and: [
    { eq: ["sender", "0x00000...00000"] },
    { gte: ["amount", "10000000000"] },
    ],
    },
    {
    and: [
    { eq: ["receiver", "0x00000...00000"] },
    { gte: ["amount", "10000000000"] },
    ],
    },
    ],
    }; // we will only receive events when the transfer recipent or the sender is the zero address meaning we are filtering mints and burn

    const options = {
    chains: [EvmChain.ETHEREUM], // Monitor USDC on ethereum
    description: "Token burns and mints", // your description
    tag: "mintsAndBurns", // give it a tag
    abi: transferUsdcAbi,
    includeContractLogs: true,
    topic0: ["Transfer(address,address,uint256)"],
    advancedOptions: [
    {
    topic0: "Transfer(address,address,uint256)",
    filter,
    includeNativeTxs: true,
    },
    ],
    webhookUrl: "https://YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL", // webhook url to receive events,
    };

    const stream = await Moralis.Streams.add(options);

    const { id } = stream.toJSON(); // { id: 'YOUR_STREAM_ID', ...stream }

    // Attach the contract address to the stream
    await Moralis.Streams.addAddress({
    id,
    address: "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48", // USDC address
    });
