subxt-historic

This create is a work in progress and currently is released only as a preview.

While subxt is a library for working at the head of a chain (submitting transactions and obtaining the current state), subxt-historic is a library for decoding blocks and state that are anywhere in a chain. To broadly summarize the differences:

Feature subxt subxt-historic
Block access Head of chain Any block in chain
Connection to chain Light client or RPC node Archive RPC nodes only
Transaction submission Yes No
Metadata compatibility V14 and newer Any version
