2. Architecture

To function properly, MinaMesh requires access to two key components of the Mina ecosystem:

1. Archive Node Database
   The Archive Node stores historical blockchain data. MinaMesh uses this database to fetch and process transaction details. You’ll need a PostgreSQL instance populated with the Mina Archive database dump.

2. Mina Node GraphQL API
   The Mina Node provides real-time blockchain state information via a GraphQL API. MinaMesh uses this API for live interactions and data retrieval.
