What does this mean " when we make any transaction of erc20 on the blockchain event get trigger." and its relevance with the question? Maybe I am missing something. Whenever we need to monitor state of an event(in this case a transaction) there are two options: 1) Polling: Similar to what @cleanunicorn suggested. Querying the status at certain intervals using the txn hash. 2) Socket Communication: Socket communication is basically used for notification models. Web3 provides SocketProvider aprt from HTTPProvider and IPCProvider, though it is still in beta. But, I hope you can find a way out usi– Valgrind1691Commented Aug 7, 2018 at 7:54

Yes, that is possible. Watch for new blocks and process all transactions.
For each transaction you can run eth_getTransactionReceipt And the logs array will contain all the events
logs: Array - Array of log objects, which this transaction generated.

I am trying to find some other solution so that I can watch any transaction on a particular address. so that I don't need to filter out the entire block. like for any smart contract address. Commented Apr 26, 2018 at 12:39
