It features Yaci Store, a lightweight indexer using H2, and Yaci Viewer, a browser-based interface for viewing transactions. It supports flexible configurations, integrates with Ogmios and Kupo, and is compatible with Blockfrost API endpoints, all easily deployable with Docker Compose for efficient setup.
