Understand the services that make up an OpenScan.AI explorer deployment.
OpenScan.AI is an AI-powered block explorer and Explorer-as-a-Service (EaaS) platform. The Architecture section gives you the complete picture of how data flows from the chain to the user — from the indexer that ingests raw blocks to the API that serves structured JSON, all the way to the branded frontend your users interact with.
Whether you’re running a self-hosted instance or evaluating a managed deployment, understanding these components helps you operate, debug, and scale your explorer with confidence.
