fix(evm): subscribe addresses immediately, adds are not rate limited

[kaladinlight]

Follow-up to #1286 / #1287.

Context

Moralis confirmed their rate limit docs are out of date: there is no 5-requests-per-5-minutes limit on adding stream addresses. Address mutations only spend the normal account throughput budget.

That limit was the basis for pacing adds at one per minute in #1286. With it gone, the pacing is pure latency — a newly subscribed address could wait up to a minute before reaching the stream, and any transaction landing in that window is missed for that user.

Changes

• Adds go out immediately. Dropped STREAM_ADD_LIMIT / STREAM_ADD_WINDOW / STREAM_ADD_INTERVAL and the nextStreamAdd deadline. subscribeAddresses already calls updateStream directly, so an address now reaches the stream in roughly one round trip instead of up to 60s.
• Adds are issued before removals. A failed deleteAddress would otherwise throw past the add in the same pass, letting cosmetic cleanup delay the addresses we actually need to catch transactions for.
• Removals stay paced. STREAM_REMOVE_INTERVAL was never about rate limits — every mutation reloads the stream before new blocks are processed for it, so pacing keeps a disconnect-heavy stretch from reloading constantly. It never blocks an add.
• No backoff on failed address mutations. The retry tick is 5s, already longer than Moralis's 4-second rolling throughput window, so a throughput 429 clears before the next attempt. streamAddresses is only updated after a request succeeds, so anything that failed stays in the diff and is retried alongside whatever arrived since.
• Initialization keeps its backoff (~60s jittered). Creating a stream validates the webhook URL against a limit that genuinely is shared across every coinstack on the account — the failure fix(evm): halve stream webhook validations and jitter init retries #1287 addressed. nextStreamUpdate now has a single setter.

What this does not change

Local address tracking, the stream recreate on startup, and the diff-driven convergence are all untouched — those solved the request storm, which was a separate problem from the pacing.

Testing

Typechecks clean. Not exercised against the live API. The signal to watch is rateLimited: true on failed to update stream — if account throughput does turn out to bind on address mutations, that is where it will show.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Moralis stream address updates no longer throttle additions. Stream removals retain separate pacing. Initialization failures use a 60-second backoff, while update failures use a 10-second backoff without replacing a longer initialization backoff.

Changes

Moralis stream timing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Timing constants and initialization retry node/coinstacks/common/api/src/evm/moralisService.ts	Replaces the add-rate-limit constants with separate removal, initialization backoff, and update backoff intervals. Initialization failures use the initialization backoff.
Address update scheduling node/coinstacks/common/api/src/evm/moralisService.ts	Removes add throttling from stream updates. Address additions proceed immediately when needed. Update failures use the update backoff and preserve a longer initialization backoff.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0c7cd

Address subscriptions now execute immediately, but if the provider still enforces a per-address quota, repeated retries could leave new addresses unmonitored and miss transactions during the quota window. Confirm the provider behavior or retain quota-aware pacing before merging.

Poem

A rabbit watched the streams align,
Additions now move without delay.
Removal pacing keeps its time,
While backoffs guard the retry way.
Sixty hops for setup’s trail,
Ten for updates when they fail.

pacing: retain or restore a limiter so failed toAdd batches cannot retry faster
than five requests per five minutes. Update the retry handling around the
address-add flow and its backoff constants, while preserving immediate batching
for successful additions and existing removal/update behavior.
