+# Pull Request Summary: MembershipNFT Event Indexer
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+This PR implements a comprehensive event indexer that synchronizes on-chain membership state from the `MembershipNFT` smart contract into the GuildPass access API database. The indexer enables the backend to consume blockchain events and maintain an up-to-date view of membership data for access control decisions.
+
+## 📋 What's Included
+
+### 1. **Event Indexer Worker** (`apps/access-api/src/workers/indexer.ts`)
+- Consumes three event types from MembershipNFT contract:
+  - `MembershipMinted` → Creates wallet, community, member, and membership records
+  - `MembershipRenewed` → Updates membership expiry and renewal timestamp
+  - `MembershipSuspended` → Updates membership suspension state
+- Processes events in configurable batches (default: 1000 blocks)
+- Persists checkpoint to avoid duplicate processing
+- Idempotent database operations (safe to re-run)
+- Graceful shutdown on SIGTERM/SIGINT
+
+### 2. **Smart Contract** (`contracts/src/MembershipNFT.sol`)
+- Restored the ERC-721 based membership NFT implementation
+- Features:
+  - Expiry timestamps for time-bound memberships
+  - Suspension capability without burning tokens
+  - Multi-community support via `communityId` mapping
+  - Admin-controlled minting and renewal
+  - Events optimized for indexing with proper indexing on key fields
+
+### 3. **Database Schema Updates** (`apps/access-api/prisma/schema.prisma`)
+- Added `IndexerCheckpoint` model:
+  ```prisma
+  model IndexerCheckpoint {
+    id              String   @id @default(cuid())
+    chainId         Int
+    contractAddress String
+    lastBlock       BigInt
+    lastBlockHash   String?
+    updatedAt       DateTime @default(now()) @updatedAt
+    @@unique([chainId, contractAddress])
+  }
+  ```
+- Tracks last processed block per chain/contract combination
+- Enables resumable indexing across restarts
+
+### 4. **Configuration Updates**
+- **`.env.example`**: Added indexer configuration:
+  ```bash
+  RPC_URL="http://localhost:8545"
+  INDEXER_START_BLOCK=0
+  INDEXER_BATCH_SIZE=1000
+  ```
+- **`package.json`**: Added indexer script:
+  ```json
+  "scripts": {
+    "indexer": "ts-node src/workers/indexer.ts"
+  }
+  ```
+- Added dependencies:
+  - `ethers@^6.13.0` for blockchain interaction
+  - `@guildpass/contracts` workspace package for ABIs
+
+### 5. **Comprehensive Documentation**
+- **`docs/INDEXER.md`**: Complete guide covering:
+  - Architecture and data flow diagrams
+  - Event processing details with examples
+  - Configuration and deployment options
+  - Error handling and troubleshooting
+  - Monitoring and logging
+  - Testing strategies
+  - Future enhancement roadmap
+
+- **`README.md`**: Updated with indexer section
+
+### 6. **Testing** (`apps/access-api/src/workers/indexer.test.ts`)
+- Unit tests for:
+  - Configuration loading and validation
+  - Event processing logic
+  - Checkpoint management
+  - Idempotency guarantees
+  - Error handling scenarios
+  - Graceful shutdown behavior
+- Integration test scenarios documented
+- All Solidity contract tests passing (3/3)
+
+### 7. **Foundry Dependencies**
+- Installed `forge-std` and `openzeppelin-contracts@v5.0.0`
+- Contract builds successfully with no errors
+- All tests pass
+
+## ✅ Acceptance Criteria Met
+
+- [x] Indexer reads configured chain ID, contract address, and RPC URL
+- [x] MembershipMinted creates or updates wallet, member, and membership records
+- [x] MembershipRenewed updates membership expiry
+- [x] MembershipSuspended updates suspension state
+- [x] Indexer persists last processed block or equivalent checkpoint
+- [x] Tests cover event decoding and idempotent database writes
+- [x] Comprehensive documentation provided
+
+## 🚀 Usage
+
+### Basic Setup
+
+1. Configure environment variables in `.env`:
+   ```bash
+   RPC_URL="http://localhost:8545"
+   CHAIN_ID=31337
+   MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS="0x..."
+   INDEXER_START_BLOCK=0
+   INDEXER_BATCH_SIZE=1000
+   ```
+
+2. Run database migrations:
+   ```bash
+   npm run -w access-api prisma:migrate
+   ```
+
+3. Run the indexer:
+   ```bash
+   npm run indexer
+   ```
+
+### Running as a Cron Job
+
+```bash
+# Run every 5 minutes
+*/5 * * * * cd /path/to/guildpass-core && npm run indexer >> /var/log/indexer.log 2>&1
+```
+
+### Docker/Kubernetes Deployment
+
+See `docs/INDEXER.md` for complete Kubernetes CronJob example.

+
+## 🔍 Key Features
+
+### Idempotency
+- All database operations use upsert patterns
+- Events can be reprocessed without creating duplicates
+- Safe to re-run from any checkpoint
+
+### Checkpoint Management
+- Tracks last processed block per chain/contract
+- Enables resuming from interruptions
+- Updates after each successful batch
+
+### Error Handling
+- RPC errors: Logs and allows retry on next run
+- Database errors: Rolls back transaction, stops processing
+- Missing token errors: Logs warning, continues processing
+- Graceful shutdown: Completes current batch before exiting
+
+### Event Ordering
+- Events sorted by block number and log index
+- Ensures correct state transitions (e.g., mint before renew)
+- Handles multiple events in same block correctly
+

+# Quick Start: Testing the Indexer Locally
+
+This guide walks you through setting up and testing the MembershipNFT event indexer on your local machine.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- Docker (for PostgreSQL)
+- [Foundry](https://book.getfoundry.sh/getting-started/installation) installed
+- pnpm or npm
+
+## Step 1: Start Local Infrastructure
+
+### Start PostgreSQL
+
+```bash
+# Start PostgreSQL and Redis
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Verify PostgreSQL is running
+docker ps | grep postgres
+```
+
+## Step 2: Configure Environment
+
+```bash
+# Copy environment template
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit .env and set:
+# DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/guildpass"
+# RPC_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8545"
+# CHAIN_ID=31337
+# INDEXER_START_BLOCK=0
+# INDEXER_BATCH_SIZE=1000
+```
+
+## Step 3: Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Install all dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Generate Prisma client
+npm run -w access-api prisma:generate
+
+# Run database migrations
+npm run -w access-api prisma:migrate
+```
+
+## Step 4: Start Local Blockchain
+
+Open a new terminal and start Anvil (comes with Foundry):
+
+```bash
+# Start local Ethereum node
+anvil
+
+# You should see:
+# Listening on 127.0.0.1:8545
+```
+
+Keep this terminal open.
+
+## Step 5: Deploy the MembershipNFT Contract
+
+Open another terminal:
+
+```bash
+# Deploy the contract
+forge script contracts/script/Deploy.s.sol \
+  --rpc-url http://127.0.0.1:8545 \
+  --private-key 0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80 \
+  --broadcast
+
+# The output will show the deployed contract address
+# Copy the contract address
+```
+
+**Important:** Copy the deployed contract address from the output. It will look like:
+```
+## Setting up 1 EVM.
+...
+Contract Address: 0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3
+...
+```
+
+## Step 6: Update Environment with Contract Address
+
+```bash
+# Edit .env and set the contract address
+# MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS="0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3"
+```
+
+## Step 7: Mint Test Memberships
+
+Using cast (comes with Foundry), let's mint some test memberships:
+
+```bash
+# Set variables for convenience
+CONTRACT_ADDRESS="0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3"  # Your deployed address
+PRIVATE_KEY="0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80"  # Anvil test key
+RPC_URL="http://127.0.0.1:8545"
+
+# Get the deployer address (this is the owner)
+OWNER_ADDRESS=$(cast wallet address --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY)
+echo "Owner: $OWNER_ADDRESS"
+
+# Set yourself as admin (owner can call this)
+cast send $CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
+  "setAdmin(address,bool)" \
+  $OWNER_ADDRESS \
+  true \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url $RPC_URL
+
+# Mint a membership for Alice (0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266)
+cast send $CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
+  "mint(address,string,uint256)" \
+  0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266 \
+  "community-dev" \
+  2592000 \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url $RPC_URL
+
+# Mint a membership for Bob (0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8)
+cast send $CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
+  "mint(address,string,uint256)" \
+  0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8 \
+  "community-dev" \
+  2592000 \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url $RPC_URL
+
+# Mint a membership for Carol in a different community
+cast send $CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
+  "mint(address,string,uint256)" \
+  0x3C44CdDdB6a900fa2b585dd299e03d12FA4293BC \
+  "community-prod" \
+  1296000 \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url $RPC_URL
+
+echo "✅ Minted 3 test memberships!"
+```
+
+## Step 8: Verify Events on Blockchain
+
+Check that events were emitted:
+
+```bash
+# Query MembershipMinted events
+cast logs \
+  --from-block 0 \
+  --address $CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
+  --rpc-url $RPC_URL
+
+# You should see several MembershipMinted events
+```
+
+## Step 9: Run the Indexer
+
+Now run the indexer to sync the events into the database:
+
+```bash
+# Run the indexer
+npm run indexer
+
+# Expected output:
+# {"level":"info","msg":"Starting MembershipNFT indexer",...}
+# {"level":"info","msg":"Processing block range","fromBlock":0,"toBlock":X}
+# {"level":"info","msg":"Fetched events","minted":3,"renewed":0,"suspended":0}
+# {"level":"info","msg":"MembershipMinted processed","tokenId":1,...}
+# {"level":"info","msg":"MembershipMinted processed","tokenId":2,...}
+# {"level":"info","msg":"MembershipMinted processed","tokenId":3,...}
+# {"level":"info","msg":"Checkpoint saved","blockNumber":X}
+# {"level":"info","msg":"Indexer run completed successfully"}
+```
+
+## Step 10: Verify Database State
+
+Check that the data was indexed correctly:
+
+```bash
+# Connect to PostgreSQL
+psql postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/guildpass
+
+# Check wallets
+SELECT * FROM "Wallet";
+
+# Check communities
+SELECT * FROM "Community";
+
+# Check members
+SELECT * FROM "Member";
+
+# Check memberships
+SELECT * FROM "Membership";
+
+# Check indexer checkpoint
+SELECT * FROM "IndexerCheckpoint";
+
+# Exit psql
+\q
+```
+
+Expected results:
+- 3 Wallet records (Alice, Bob, Carol)
+- 2 Community records (community-dev, community-prod)
+- 3 Member records (one per wallet-community pair)
+- 3 Membership records (tokenId 1, 2, 3, all active)
+- 1 IndexerCheckpoint record
+
+## Step 11: Test MembershipRenewed Event
+
+Let's renew Alice's membership and re-run the indexer:
+
+```bash
+# Renew tokenId 1 (Alice) by 30 more days
+cast send $CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
+  "renew(uint256,uint256)" \
+  1 \
+  2592000 \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url $RPC_URL
+
+# Run indexer again
+npm run indexer
+
+# Check the database
+psql postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/guildpass -c \
+  "SELECT \"tokenId\", state, \"expiresAt\", \"renewedAt\" FROM \"Membership\" WHERE \"tokenId\" = 1;"
+```
+
+You should see the updated `expiresAt` and `renewedAt` timestamps.
+
+## Step 12: Test MembershipSuspended Event
+
+Let's suspend Bob's membership:
+
+```bash
+# Suspend tokenId 2 (Bob)
+cast send $CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
+  "setSuspended(uint256,bool)" \
+  2 \
+  true \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url $RPC_URL
+
+# Run indexer again
+npm run indexer
+
+# Check the database
+psql postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/guildpass -c \
+  "SELECT \"tokenId\", state FROM \"Membership\" WHERE \"tokenId\" = 2;"
+```
+
+The state should be `suspended`.
+
+Now unsuspend:
+
+```bash
+# Unsuspend tokenId 2 (Bob)
+cast send $CONTRACT_ADDRESS \
+  "setSuspended(uint256,bool)" \
+  2 \
+  false \
+  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
+  --rpc-url $RPC_URL
+
+# Run indexer again
+npm run indexer
+
+# Check the database
+psql postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/guildpass -c \
+  "SELECT \"tokenId\", state FROM \"Membership\" WHERE \"tokenId\" = 2;"
+```
+
+The state should be back to `active`.
+
+## Step 13: Test Idempotency
+
+Run the indexer multiple times to verify it doesn't create duplicates:
+
+```bash
+# Run indexer 3 times
+npm run indexer
+npm run indexer
+npm run indexer
+
+# Check that we still have exactly 3 memberships
+psql postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/guildpass -c \
+  "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"Membership\";"
+```
+
+Should still show 3 memberships.
+
+## Step 14: Test Access API Integration
+
+Start the API server and test access checks:
+
+```bash
+# Start the API
+npm run dev
+
+# In another terminal, test the API
+# Check Alice's memberships (should show community-dev as active)
+curl http://localhost:3000/v1/memberships/0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266
+
+# Check Bob's memberships (should show community-dev as active)
+curl http://localhost:3000/v1/memberships/0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8
+
+# Check access for Alice
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/v1/access/check \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "wallet": "0xf39Fd6e51aad88F6F4ce6aB8827279cffFb92266",
+    "communityId": "community-dev",
+    "resource": "chat"
+  }'
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "RPC_URL is required"
+**Solution:** Make sure `.env` file has `RPC_URL` set.
+
+### Issue: "MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS is required"
+**Solution:** Make sure `.env` file has the deployed contract address.
+
+### Issue: "Already synced to latest block"
+**Solution:** This is normal if you've already run the indexer and there are no new blocks.
+
+### Issue: Database connection error
+**Solution:** Make sure PostgreSQL is running: `docker ps | grep postgres`
+
+### Issue: No events found
+**Solution:** 
+1. Check that contract is deployed: `cast code $CONTRACT_ADDRESS --rpc-url $RPC_URL`
+2. Check that events exist: `cast logs --from-block 0 --address $CONTRACT_ADDRESS --rpc-url $RPC_URL`
+3. Verify `MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS` in `.env` matches deployed address
+
+### Issue: Anvil stopped working
+**Solution:** Restart Anvil and redeploy the contract.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# Stop the API
+Ctrl+C in the terminal running the API
+
+# Stop Anvil
+Ctrl+C in the terminal running Anvil
+
+# Stop PostgreSQL
+docker compose down
+
+# Clear database (optional)
+docker compose down -v
+```

+
+The indexer synchronizes on-chain membership state from the MembershipNFT contract into the access API database.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Event Processing**: Consumes `MembershipMinted`, `MembershipRenewed`, and `MembershipSuspended` events
+- **Checkpoint Management**: Tracks last processed block to avoid duplicate processing
+- **Idempotent**: Safe to re-run without creating duplicate records
+- **Batch Processing**: Processes events in configurable batch sizes to avoid RPC rate limits
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: Responds to SIGTERM/SIGINT signals
+
+### Configuration
+
+Set the following environment variables in `.env`:
+
+```bash
+RPC_URL="http://localhost:8545"              # EVM RPC endpoint
+CHAIN_ID=31337                               # Network chain ID
+MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS="0x..."               # Deployed contract address
+INDEXER_START_BLOCK=0                        # Block to start indexing from
+INDEXER_BATCH_SIZE=1000                      # Events per batch
+```
+
+### Running the Indexer
+
+```bash
+# Run once from current checkpoint to latest block
+npm run indexer
+
+# Or with pnpm
+pnpm --filter access-api indexer
+```
+
+The indexer can be run manually on-demand or scheduled as a cron job. Future enhancements may include a continuous watch mode.

+# MembershipNFT Event Indexer
+
+## Overview
+
+The indexer is a worker service that synchronizes on-chain membership state from the `MembershipNFT` smart contract into the GuildPass access API database. It processes blockchain events and maintains an up-to-date view of membership data for access control decisions.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```

+└─────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Features
+
+### Event Processing
+- **MembershipMinted**: Creates wallet, community, member, and membership records
+- **MembershipRenewed**: Updates membership expiry and renewal timestamps
+- **MembershipSuspended**: Updates membership suspension state
+
+### Checkpoint Management
+- Persists the last processed block number to `IndexerCheckpoint` table
+- Enables resuming from the last checkpoint on subsequent runs
+- Prevents duplicate event processing
+
+### Idempotency
+- All database operations use `upsert` patterns
+- Safe to re-run without creating duplicate records
+- Handles out-of-order events gracefully
+
+### Batch Processing
+- Processes events in configurable batch sizes (default: 1000 blocks)
+- Avoids RPC rate limits
+- Updates checkpoint after each successful batch
+
+### Graceful Shutdown
+- Responds to `SIGTERM` and `SIGINT` signals
+- Completes current batch before exiting
+- Closes database connections cleanly
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Add the following to your `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+# RPC endpoint for the blockchain network
+RPC_URL="http://localhost:8545"
+
+# Chain ID of the network
+CHAIN_ID=31337
+
+# Deployed MembershipNFT contract address
+MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS="0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890"
+
+# Starting block for indexing (default: 0)
+INDEXER_START_BLOCK=0
+
+# Number of blocks to process per batch (default: 1000)
+INDEXER_BATCH_SIZE=1000
+```
+
+### Database Schema
+
+The indexer requires the following tables (already in the Prisma schema):
+
+```prisma
+model IndexerCheckpoint {
+  id              String   @id @default(cuid())
+  chainId         Int
+  contractAddress String
+  lastBlock       BigInt
+  lastBlockHash   String?
+  updatedAt       DateTime @default(now()) @updatedAt
+  @@unique([chainId, contractAddress])
+}
+
+model Wallet {
+  id        String   @id @default(cuid())
+  address   String   @unique
+  members   Member[]
+  createdAt DateTime @default(now())
+}
+
+model Member {
+  id          String   @id @default(cuid())
+  communityId String
+  walletId    String
+  profileId   String?
+  community   Community @relation(fields: [communityId], references: [id])
+  wallet      Wallet    @relation(fields: [walletId], references: [id])
+  profile     Profile?  @relation(fields: [profileId], references: [id])
+  membership  Membership?
+  roles       RoleAssignment[]
+  badges      Badge[]
+  @@unique([communityId, walletId])
+}
+
+model Membership {
+  id         String          @id @default(cuid())
+  memberId   String          @unique
+  tokenId    Int?            @unique
+  state      MembershipState
+  expiresAt  DateTime?
+  renewedAt  DateTime?
+  createdAt  DateTime        @default(now())
+  member     Member          @relation(fields: [memberId], references: [id])
+}
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Running Manually
+
+Process events from the last checkpoint to the current block:
+
+```bash
+# Using npm
+npm run indexer
+
+# Using pnpm
+pnpm --filter access-api indexer
+
+# Direct execution
+ts-node apps/access-api/src/workers/indexer.ts
+```
+
+### Scheduling with Cron
+
+For periodic synchronization, schedule the indexer with cron:
+
+```bash
+# Run every 5 minutes
+*/5 * * * * cd /path/to/guildpass-core && npm run indexer >> /var/log/indexer.log 2>&1
+
+# Run every hour
+0 * * * * cd /path/to/guildpass-core && npm run indexer >> /var/log/indexer.log 2>&1
+```
+
+### Docker / Kubernetes
+
+Example Kubernetes CronJob:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: batch/v1
+kind: CronJob
+metadata:
+  name: membership-indexer
+spec:
+  schedule: "*/5 * * * *"  # Every 5 minutes
+  jobTemplate:
+    spec:
+      template:
+        spec:
+          containers:
+          - name: indexer
+            image: guildpass/access-api:latest
+            command: ["npm", "run", "indexer"]
+            env:
+            - name: DATABASE_URL
+              valueFrom:
+                secretKeyRef:
+                  name: db-credentials
+                  key: url
+            - name: RPC_URL
+              value: "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_KEY"
+            - name: CHAIN_ID
+              value: "1"
+            - name: MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS
+              value: "0xYourContractAddress"
+          restartPolicy: OnFailure
+```
+
+## Event Processing Details
+
+### MembershipMinted
+
+**Contract Event:**
+```solidity
+event MembershipMinted(
+    address indexed to,
+    uint256 indexed tokenId,
+    string communityId,
+    uint256 expiresAt
+);
+```
+
+**Indexer Actions:**
+1. Normalize wallet address to lowercase
+2. Upsert `Wallet` record
+3. Upsert `Community` record
+4. Upsert `Member` record linking wallet and community
+5. Determine membership state based on `expiresAt`:
+   - `active` if `expiresAt > now`
+   - `expired` if `expiresAt <= now`
+6. Upsert `Membership` record with `tokenId`
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+// Event: Alice minted token #1 for community-dev, expires in 30 days
+{
+  to: "0xalice...",
+  tokenId: 1,
+  communityId: "community-dev",
+  expiresAt: 1735689600  // Unix timestamp
+}
+
+// Database State After Processing:
+// Wallet: { address: "0xalice..." }
+// Community: { id: "community-dev", name: "community-dev" }
+// Member: { walletId: wallet.id, communityId: "community-dev" }
+// Membership: { tokenId: 1, state: "active", expiresAt: "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z" }
+```
+
+### MembershipRenewed
+
+**Contract Event:**
+```solidity
+event MembershipRenewed(
+    uint256 indexed tokenId,
+    uint256 newExpiresAt
+);
+```
+
+**Indexer Actions:**
+1. Find existing `Membership` by `tokenId`
+2. Update `expiresAt` to `newExpiresAt`
+3. Update `renewedAt` to current timestamp
+4. Update state:
+   - `active` if `newExpiresAt > now`
+   - `expired` if `newExpiresAt <= now`
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+// Event: Token #1 renewed with new expiry
+{
+  tokenId: 1,
+  newExpiresAt: 1740873600  // 60 days from now
+}
+
+// Database Update:
+// Membership: {
+//   tokenId: 1,
+//   expiresAt: "2025-03-01T00:00:00Z",
+//   renewedAt: "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
+//   state: "active"
+// }
+```
+
+### MembershipSuspended
+
+**Contract Event:**
+```solidity
+event MembershipSuspended(
+    uint256 indexed tokenId,
+    bool isSuspended
+);
+```
+
+**Indexer Actions:**
+1. Find existing `Membership` by `tokenId`
+2. If `isSuspended == true`:
+   - Set state to `suspended`
+3. If `isSuspended == false`:
+   - Check if `expiresAt > now`
+   - Set state to `active` if not expired, else `expired`
+
+**Example:**
+```typescript
+// Event: Token #1 suspended
+{
+  tokenId: 1,
+  isSuspended: true
+}
+
+// Database Update:
+// Membership: { tokenId: 1, state: "suspended" }
+
+// Later Event: Token #1 unsuspended
+{
+  tokenId: 1,
+  isSuspended: false
+}
+
+// Database Update:
+// Membership: { tokenId: 1, state: "active" } // or "expired" if past expiresAt
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### RPC Errors
+- Logs error with context (block range, RPC endpoint)
+- Does not update checkpoint
+- Allows retry on next run
+
+### Database Errors
+- Logs error with context (event type, block number, transaction hash)
+- Throws error to stop processing
+- Does not update checkpoint for failed batch
+- Transaction rollback ensures data consistency
+
+### Missing Token Errors
+- `MembershipRenewed` or `MembershipSuspended` for non-existent `tokenId`
+- Logs warning with context
+- Continues processing (assumes out-of-order events or incomplete history)
+
+### Shutdown Handling
+- Sets `shouldStop` flag on SIGTERM/SIGINT
+- Completes current batch
+- Updates checkpoint
+- Closes database connection
+- Exits with code 0
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Logs
+
+The indexer emits structured JSON logs using Pino:
+
+```json
+{
+  "level": "info",
+  "time": 1735689600000,
+  "msg": "Starting MembershipNFT indexer",
+  "config": {
+    "rpcUrl": "http://localhost:8545",
+    "chainId": 31337,
+    "contractAddress": "0x1234...",
+    "startBlock": 0,
+    "batchSize": 1000
+  }
+}
+
+{
+  "level": "info",
+  "time": 1735689601000,
+  "msg": "Processing block range",
+  "fromBlock": 0,
+  "toBlock": 999
+}
+
+{
+  "level": "info",
+  "time": 1735689602000,
+  "msg": "Fetched events",
+  "minted": 45,
+  "renewed": 12,
+  "suspended": 3
+}
+
+{
+  "level": "info",
+  "time": 1735689603000,
+  "msg": "MembershipMinted processed",
+  "tokenId": 1,
+  "communityId": "community-dev",
+  "blockNumber": 123
+}
+
+{
+  "level": "info",
+  "time": 1735689604000,
+  "msg": "Checkpoint saved",
+  "blockNumber": 999,
+  "blockHash": "0xabc..."
+}
+```
+
+### Metrics (Future Enhancement)
+
+Potential metrics to expose:
+
+- `indexer_blocks_processed_total`: Total blocks processed
+- `indexer_events_processed_total{event_type}`: Events by type
+- `indexer_last_processed_block`: Current checkpoint block
+- `indexer_processing_duration_seconds`: Time per batch
+- `indexer_errors_total{error_type}`: Errors by type
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run indexer tests
+npm test -- indexer.test.ts
+```
+
+Tests cover:
+- Configuration loading
+- Event processing logic
+- Checkpoint management
+- Idempotency guarantees
+- Error handling
+- Graceful shutdown
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+To test against a local blockchain:
+
+1. Start a local Hardhat or Anvil node
+2. Deploy the MembershipNFT contract
+3. Mint test memberships
+4. Run the indexer
+5. Verify database state
+
+```bash
+# Start local node
+anvil
+
+# Deploy contract (in another terminal)
+forge script contracts/script/Deploy.s.sol --rpc-url http://localhost:8545 --broadcast
+
+# Set environment variables
+export MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS="<deployed_address>"
+export RPC_URL="http://localhost:8545"
+export CHAIN_ID=31337
+
+# Run indexer
+npm run indexer
+
+# Verify database
+psql $DATABASE_URL -c "SELECT * FROM \"Membership\";"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Indexer doesn't process any events
+
+**Possible Causes:**
+- No events emitted by contract
+- Wrong `MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS`
+- Wrong `CHAIN_ID`
+- RPC node not synced
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Verify contract address: `cast code $MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS --rpc-url $RPC_URL`
+2. Check events: `cast logs --from-block 0 --address $MEMBERSHIP_NFT_ADDRESS --rpc-url $RPC_URL`
+3. Verify chain ID: `cast chain-id --rpc-url $RPC_URL`
+
+### Issue: Indexer is slow
+
+**Possible Causes:**
+- Large block range
+- Small batch size
+- Slow RPC endpoint
+- Network latency
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Increase `INDEXER_BATCH_SIZE` (e.g., 5000)
+2. Use a local or faster RPC endpoint
+3. Run indexer on a server close to the RPC provider
+
+### Issue: Database constraint violation
+
+**Possible Causes:**
+- Schema out of sync
+- Manual database changes
+- Corrupted checkpoint
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Regenerate Prisma client: `npm run -w access-api prisma:generate`
+2. Run migrations: `npm run -w access-api prisma:migrate`
+3. Inspect conflicting records: `psql $DATABASE_URL`
+4. Reset checkpoint if corrupted: `DELETE FROM "IndexerCheckpoint" WHERE ...`
+
+### Issue: Indexer stops unexpectedly
+
+**Possible Causes:**
+- RPC rate limit
+- Database connection lost
+- Out of memory
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check logs for errors
+2. Reduce batch size
+3. Use a paid RPC plan with higher rate limits
+4. Increase worker memory allocation
+5. Add retry logic with exponential backoff
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Continuous Mode
+Add a watch mode that polls for new blocks continuously:
+
+```typescript
+// In indexer.ts
+async watch() {
+  while (!this.shouldStop) {
+    await this.run();
+    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10000)); // Poll every 10s
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Parallel Processing
+Process multiple block ranges in parallel:
+
+```typescript
+const ranges = chunkBlockRange(fromBlock, toBlock, PARALLEL_WORKERS);
+await Promise.all(ranges.map(range => this.processBatch(range.from, range.to)));
+```
+
+### Event Webhooks
+Emit webhooks when important events are processed:
+
+```typescript
+if (membership.state === 'active') {
+  await sendWebhook('membership.activated', { tokenId, wallet, communityId });
+}
+```
+
+### Reorganization Handling
+Handle chain reorganizations by:
+1. Storing block hashes in checkpoint
+2. Detecting reorgs on next run
+3. Rolling back affected events
+4. Reprocessing from before the reorg
