Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

FabTally Decode Tools (4)

decode_log

Flagship.** Decode event LOGS to JSON. `{chain, tx_hash}` decodes every log in a tx, or `{chain, address, topics[], data}` a single log; optional `abi`. Returns event name + canonical signature + named/typed args — handling tuple/array/nested params, anonymous events, indexed vs non-indexed. Resolv…

decode_calldata

Decode a function call. `{chain, to?, data, abi?}` → selector resolved to a function signature (provided ABI / verified source / 4byte.directory) + fully decoded typed arguments.

selector_lookup

Resolve a 4-byte function selector (`0x`+8 hex) or a 32-byte event topic (`0x`+64 hex) to human signature(s) via 4byte.directory + openchain.xyz, with a verified flag.

abi_fetch

Fetch a contract's verified ABI + metadata (Sourcify/Blockscout) + verification status + full proxy-implementation resolution (EIP-1967/1822/OZ-legacy/beacon) — returns the implementation ABI for proxies. Args: `address`, `chain`.
