Database Schema

Complete reference for Babylon’s PostgreSQL database schema.

Overview

Babylon uses PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM for type-safe database access.

Total Models: 30+ Relationships: Complex graph with many-to-many Special Features: Snowflake IDs, Row-Level Security, Soft deletes

Core Models

User

Represents both real players and NPCs.

model User { id String @id @default(uuid()) privyId String @unique walletAddress String? @unique username String? @unique displayName String? bio String? profileImageUrl String? coverImageUrl String? isActor Boolean @default(false) // true = NPC // Virtual wallet virtualBalance Decimal @default(1000) totalDeposited Decimal @default(1000) lifetimePnL Decimal @default(0) // On-chain identity onChainRegistered Boolean @default(false) nftTokenId Int? @unique agent0TokenId Int? // Reputation reputationPoints Int @default(1000) // Relationships comments Comment[] reactions Reaction[] positions Position[] followedBy Follow[] @relation("following") following Follow[] @relation("follower") @@index([walletAddress]) @@index([username]) @@index([isActor]) @@index([reputationPoints(sort: Desc)]) }

Key Fields:

  • isActor: Distinguishes NPCs from real users
  • virtualBalance: In-game currency
  • nftTokenId: ERC-8004 token ID
  • reputationPoints: Leaderboard ranking

Post

Social media posts and articles.

model Post { id String @id // Snowflake ID type String @default("post") // "post" | "article" content String fullContent String? @db.Text // For articles // Article fields articleTitle String? biasScore Float? // -1 to 1 sentiment String? category String? authorId String timestamp DateTime @default(now()) comments Comment[] reactions Reaction[] shares Share[] postTags PostTag[] @@index([authorId, timestamp(sort: Desc)]) @@index([timestamp(sort: Desc)]) @@index([type, timestamp(sort: Desc)]) }

Note: Uses Snowflake IDs for distributed generation:

  • 64-bit numeric IDs
  • Sortable by creation time
  • Unique across distributed systems
  • Generated in application layer

Market

Prediction market for binary questions.

model Market { id String @id @default(uuid()) question String description String? yesShares Decimal @default(0) noShares Decimal @default(0) liquidity Decimal resolved Boolean @default(false) resolution Boolean? // true = YES won endDate DateTime positions Position[] @@index([resolved, endDate]) @@index([createdAt(sort: Desc)]) }

Pricing: Constant Product AMM

yesPrice = yesShares / (yesShares + noShares) noPrice = noShares / (yesShares + noShares)

Position

User position in a prediction market.

model Position { id String @id @default(uuid()) userId String marketId String side Boolean // true = YES, false = NO shares Decimal avgPrice Decimal user User @relation(fields: [userId]) market Market @relation(fields: [marketId]) @@index([userId, marketId]) }

PerpPosition

Perpetual futures position with leverage.

model PerpPosition { id String @id @default(uuid()) userId String ticker String side String // 'long' | 'short' entryPrice Float currentPrice Float size Float leverage Int // 1-100x liquidationPrice Float unrealizedPnL Float fundingPaid Float @default(0) openedAt DateTime @default(now()) closedAt DateTime? realizedPnL Float? @@index([userId, closedAt]) @@index([ticker]) }

Liquidation Formula:

Long: liquidationPrice = entryPrice * (1 - 1/leverage) Short: liquidationPrice = entryPrice * (1 + 1/leverage)

Social Models

Relationships

Many-to-Many Examples

User Follows (User ↔ User):

model Follow { followerId String followingId String follower User @relation("follower", fields: [followerId]) following User @relation("following", fields: [followingId]) @@unique([followerId, followingId]) }

Post Tags (Post ↔ Tag):

model PostTag { postId String tagId String post Post @relation(fields: [postId]) tag Tag @relation(fields: [tagId]) @@unique([postId, tagId]) }

Indexes

Performance-Critical Indexes

-- Feed queries CREATE INDEX idx_posts_timestamp_desc ON "Post"("timestamp" DESC); CREATE INDEX idx_posts_author_time ON "Post"("authorId", "timestamp" DESC); -- Market queries CREATE INDEX idx_markets_resolved_end ON "Market"("resolved", "endDate"); CREATE INDEX idx_positions_user_market ON "Position"("userId", "marketId"); -- Social queries CREATE INDEX idx_follows_follower ON "Follow"("followerId"); CREATE INDEX idx_follows_following ON "Follow"("followingId"); -- Leaderboard CREATE INDEX idx_users_reputation_desc ON "User"("reputationPoints" DESC); CREATE INDEX idx_actors_reputation_desc ON "Actor"("reputationPoints" DESC);

Migrations

Creating Migrations

# Create migration bunprisma migrate dev --name add_new_field # Migration file created in prisma/migrations/

Applying Migrations

# Development bun run db:migrate # Production (Vercel) # Runs automatically via postinstall bun run prisma migrate deploy

Rolling Back

# Manual reset (caution: loses data) psql babylon -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE;" psql babylon -c "CREATE SCHEMA public;" bun run db:migrate # Or manual rollback psql babylon < prisma/migrations/[previous]/migration.sql

Constraints

Unique Constraints

// Single field @@unique([email]) // Composite @@unique([userId, marketId])

Check Constraints

Enforced in application logic:

  • virtualBalance >= 0
  • leverage >= 1 && leverage <= 100
  • yesShares >= 0 && noShares >= 0

Common Queries

Get User with Positions

const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { id: userId }, include: { positions: { include: { market: true } } } });

Get Feed with Authors

const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({ take: 20, orderBy: { timestamp: 'desc' }, include: { author: { select: { username: true, displayName: true, profileImageUrl: true } }, reactions: { where: { userId } } } });

Get Leaderboard

const leaderboard = await prisma.user.findMany({ where: { isActor: false }, orderBy: { reputationPoints: 'desc' }, take: 100, select: { id: true, username: true, displayName: true, profileImageUrl: true, reputationPoints: true, lifetimePnL: true } });

Connection Pooling

Configuration

# Development (no pooling needed) DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/babylon" # Production (use pooling) DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/babylon?pgbouncer=true&connection_limit=10" DIRECT_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/babylon"

Pool Size

// Prisma automatically manages connections // Configure in Prisma schema: datasource db { provider = "postgresql" url = env("DATABASE_URL") } // Or programmatically: const prisma = new PrismaClient({ datasources: { db: { url: process.env.DATABASE_URL } }, log: ['query', 'error'], });

Row-Level Security

RLS Pattern

import { asUser, asPublic } from '@/lib/db/context'; // Execute query as specific user const data = await asUser(authenticatedUser, async (db) => { return await db.position.findMany({ where: { userId: authenticatedUser.userId } }); }); // Public query const data = await asPublic(async (db) => { return await db.market.findMany({ where: { resolved: false } }); });

Benefits:

  • Prevents unauthorized data access
  • Enforced at database level
  • Automatic filtering
  • Type-safe

Performance Tips

Use Select

// Fetches all fields const users = await prisma.user.findMany(); // Fetch only needed fields const users = await prisma.user.findMany({ select: { id: true, username: true, profileImageUrl: true } });

Pagination

// Cursor-based (better for large datasets) const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({ take: 20, skip: 1, cursor: { id: lastPostId }, orderBy: { timestamp: 'desc' } }); // Offset-based (simpler) const posts = await prisma.post.findMany({ take: 20, skip: (page - 1) * 20, orderBy: { timestamp: 'desc' } });

Batch Operations

// Multiple queries for (const user of users) { await prisma.user.update({ where: { id: user.id }, data: { reputationPoints: { increment: 10 } } }); } // Single query await prisma.user.updateMany({ where: { id: { in: userIds } }, data: { reputationPoints: { increment: 10 } } });

Transactions

Atomic Operations

await prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => { // Deduct from user balance await tx.user.update({ where: { id: userId }, data: { virtualBalance: { decrement: amount } } }); // Create position await tx.position.create({ data: { userId, marketId, shares, avgPrice } }); // Log transaction await tx.balanceTransaction.create({ data: { userId, type: 'pred_buy', amount: -amount } }); });

Backup & Recovery

Backup

# Create backup pg_dump babylon > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql # Or via Prisma bunx prisma db pull # Creates schema from database

Restore

# Restore from backup psql babylon < backup-20241111.sql # Or reset and migrate (manual) psql babylon -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE;" psql babylon -c "CREATE SCHEMA public;" bun run db:migrate
