Architecture

Otterscan itself can be split into three parts:

• Otterscan UI
• Otterscan API Specification
• Otterscan API Implementation

Otterscan UI

This is the main block explorer UI that end users will interact with.

It is a React single-page application, and the repository is available at https://github.com/otterscan/otterscan.

Otterscan API Specification

This is the set of API definitions the Otterscan UI depends on.

See more here.

Otterscan API Implementation

This is server software that implements the Otterscan API.

The reference implementation is Erigon, but any Ethereum client (in theory) could implement it.
