Should I expect it to work out of the box, just running my own graphprotocol node?

This chain may be under consideration/research for indexing, but is not available for indexing right now.

I’m just testing this now and it seems to partially work. (For context for others, BSC nodes implement some but not all of Ethereum’s JSON-RPC methods).

Running it works out of the box (e.g. by using the [docker-compose.yaml](https://github.com/graphprotocol/graph-node/blob/master/docker/docker-compose.yml) file, replacing `mainnet:http://host.docker.internal:8545` with `bsc:https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/`).

But not all subgraph features will work - notably using callHandlers instead of eventHandlers doesn’t seem to work (due to `trace_filter` not working).
