Listening to the Chain (Logs & VET)

Smart contracts love to talk! They emit Events to signal that something happened.

Apps can "listen" to these signals in two ways:

1. Historical: Filter logs from the past using filterEventLogs.

2. Real-time: Use WebSockets to hear events the moment they happen!

Instead, we use a dedicated method: filterTransferLogs.

// Find native VET transfers
const logs = await thor.logs.filterTransferLogs({
    criteriaSet: [{ recipient: '0x...' }]
});

// Find native VET transfers
const logs = await thor.logs.filterTransferLogs({
    criteriaSet: [{ recipient: '0x...' }]
});

// Find native VET transfers
const logs = await thor.logs.filterTransferLogs({
    criteriaSet: [{ recipient: '0x...' }]
});

Nice! This allows you to build analytics tools, heatmaps, and portfolio trackers.
