The (MDW) is a powerful caching and reporting layer that sits between applications and æternity nodes, designed to enhance query performance and extend the blockchain's querying capabilities. It provides fast access to blockchain data and supports complex queries that would be inefficient or impractical to implement directly on the node level.

The Middleware documentation covers everything you need to know about setting up, configuring, and using the middleware, including:

  • Complete setup instructions for both mainnet and testnet environments

  • Comprehensive API reference for all available endpoints

  • Detailed guides for working with blockchain data like transactions, contracts, and tokens

  • Advanced features such as pagination and websocket interfaces

  • Tools and configurations for development and deployment

The middleware is currently hosted at for production use, though you can also deploy your own instance following the setup guides in this documentation.

Note: All examples in this documentation are based on the hosted infrastructure, but endpoints may differ slightly for local deployments.
