Developer Builds Real-Time Token Scanner Pipeline for Robinhood Chain

A developer is building a real-time token scanner for Robinhood Chain, initially focused on tracking token activity around Pons. The pipeline moves through distinct stages — event listening, decoding, normalization, filtering, and API exposure — with each layer handling a specific responsibility. A key design principle separates the scanner's role of detecting activity from any downstream trading strategy, making the infrastructure reusable. The system is engineered from the start to handle real-world failure scenarios such as dropped connections, RPC provider outages, and duplicate event delivery. Idempotency and validation close to the ingestion layer are highlighted as critical to maintaining data reliability across the entire pipeline.
