Overview
The big picture: how data flows from your blockchain to the browser, and what each component is responsible for.
Chain Node Layer
The EVM node underneath everything — JSON-RPC, archive data, and what the indexer requires from it.
Indexing Layer
How blocks, transactions, logs, and token transfers are fetched, transformed, and stored.
API Layer
The REST API that powers the frontend and third-party integrations.
