Each event carries an array of updates. It is the widest stream: transfers, token instructions, traffic purchases, governance votes, reward issuance and app-specific contracts all arrive here. Use it for transaction monitoring, compliance screening and forensics, where you need to see every action a party takes, including the ones that are not simple transfers. ## Public and private updates Canton keeps transaction content private to the parties involved. CC View therefore knows two kinds of updates, and the event tells you which one you got: * **Public update.** The transaction content is visible to CC View, for example a Canton Coin transfer or a DSO governance action. The event carries `public` with the main action and a summary of every ledger event in the update. * **Private update.** The content is confidential. What CC View knows comes from the synchronizer and the mediator: which parties submitted it, through which venue, how much traffic it consumed and whether it was accepted. The event carries `private`. An event carries one of the two. The other is `null`. Use the `dataScope` filter to receive only one kind. ## Subscribe Public updates on mainnet, with the action and the event summaries: ```graphql subscription Updates { updatesCreated(filter: { network: "mainnet", dataScope: PUBLIC }) { recordTime updateId migrationId actingParties instruments public { primaryAction eventsSummaries } } } ``` [Open in GraphiQL ↗](https://ccview.io/graphiql?query=subscription%20Updates%20%7B%0A%20%20updatesCreated%28filter%3A%20%7B%20network%3A%20%22mainnet%22%2C%20dataScope%3A%20PUBLIC%20%7D%29%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20recordTime%0A%20%20%20%20updateId%0A%20%20%20%20migrationId%0A%20%20%20%20actingParties%0A%20%20%20%20instruments%0A%20%20%20%20public%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20primaryAction%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20eventsSummaries%0A%20%20%20%20%7D%0A%20%20%7D%0A%7D) ## Filter All fields are optional and combine with AND. See [Filters](/reference/streams#filters) for the shared rules. | Field | Type | Matches | | :-------------- | :----------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `network` | `String` | `mainnet`, `testnet` or `devnet` | | `dataScope` | `UpdatesDataScope` | `PUBLIC` delivers only updates with a `public` payload, `PRIVATE` only updates with a `private` payload. Omit to receive both | | `actingParties` | `[String!]` | Party IDs. An update matches when any of them acted in it | | `instruments` | `[String!]` | Instrument (asset issuer) party IDs. An update matches when it touches any of them | ## Event fields | Field | Type | Meaning | | :----------------------- | :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `network` | `String!` | Network the update belongs to | | `updateId` | `String!` | Daml update ID in multihash format: `1220` followed by 64 lowercase hex characters, 68 characters in total | | `migrationId` | `Int!` | Synchronizer migration the update was recorded under. Together with `updateId` it identifies the update on the ledger | | `recordTime` | `String!` | Ledger record time, ISO 8601 UTC | | `actingParties` | `[String!]!` | Party IDs that acted in the update | | `instruments` | `[String!]!` | Instrument (asset issuer) party IDs touched by the update. Empty when the update does not touch a token | | `public` | `UpdatePublic` | Set for public updates, otherwise `null` | | `public.primaryAction` | `String!` | The main action of the transaction. Uses the same taxonomy as [Get update details](/reference/update_details_v1): `transfer`, `token_instruction`, `token_allocation`, `transfer_command`, `traffic_purchase`, `preapproval`, `validator_activity`, `activity_marker`, `governance`, `rewards`, `mining_round`, `amulet_lifecycle`, `other` | | `public.eventsSummaries` | `String!` | JSON-encoded array with one summary per ledger event in the update. Parse it with your JSON library | | `private` | `UpdatePrivate` | Set for private updates, otherwise `null` | | `private.provider` | `String!` | Provider party ID of the venue (featured app) that submitted the transaction | | `private.senders` | `[String!]!` | Party IDs that submitted the transaction | | `private.tokens` | `String` | JSON-encoded map of the tokens involved, when CC View can tell. Otherwise `null` | | `private.trafficInBytes` | `Int` | Synchronizer traffic the transaction consumed, in bytes | | `private.verdictResult` | `String!` | The mediator's verdict for the transaction | ## Example message A public transfer and a private app transaction in one batch. Values are illustrative. ```json { "data": { "updatesCreated": [ { "recordTime": "2026-09-30T14:03:11.482913130Z", "updateId": "122050503ac262ae61001e430f2ba3ff9b1854b74f78a1a1da1f8f9948640088591f", "migrationId": 4, "actingParties": ["alice::1220a3f0c2…", "bob::1220c81d9e…"], "instruments": [], "public": { "primaryAction": "transfer", "eventsSummaries": "[{\"type\":\"exercised\",\"template\":\"Splice.AmuletRules:AmuletRules\",\"choice\":\"AmuletRules_Transfer\"}]" }, "private": null }, { "recordTime": "2026-09-30T14:03:11.982004512Z", "updateId": "1220a7c4e1d9b2f6…", "migrationId": 4, "actingParties": ["venue-1::12203b7a0f…"], "instruments": ["issuer-x::1220d44c1a…"], "public": null, "private": { "provider": "venue-1::12203b7a0f…", "senders": ["venue-1::12203b7a0f…"], "tokens": null, "trafficInBytes": 18432, "verdictResult": "accepted" } } ] } } ``` ## Example: watch a venue's private activity Filter on `dataScope: PRIVATE` and the venue's party ID. You will see every confidential transaction the venue submits, with its traffic cost and verdict, without seeing the content. ```graphql subscription PrivateUpdates { updatesCreated( filter: { network: "mainnet", dataScope: PRIVATE, actingParties: ["venue-1::12203b7a…"] } ) { recordTime updateId actingParties private { provider senders trafficInBytes verdictResult } } } ``` [Open in GraphiQL ↗](https://ccview.io/graphiql?query=subscription%20PrivateUpdates%20%7B%0A%20%20updatesCreated%28%0A%20%20%20%20filter%3A%20%7B%20network%3A%20%22mainnet%22%2C%20dataScope%3A%20PRIVATE%2C%20actingParties%3A%20%5B%22venue-1%3A%3A12203b7a%E2%80%A6%22%5D%20%7D%0A%20%20%29%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20recordTime%0A%20%20%20%20updateId%0A%20%20%20%20actingParties%0A%20%20%20%20private%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20provider%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20senders%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20trafficInBytes%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20verdictResult%0A%20%20%20%20%7D%0A%20%20%7D%0A%7D) ## Related REST endpoints [Updates list](/reference/updates_list_v1) for history and backfill.
