<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-an-introduction-to-arc">An introduction to ARC</h2>



<p>ARC is designed to connect to every mining node on the network and includes peering logic, retry logic for transaction tracking, transaction validation, and an API for clients. It also calculates Merkle paths for broadcasted transactions. ARC&#8217;s microservices include the API server, validator (with the ability to scale for increased workload), metamorph for managing changing transaction statuses, and a peer manager to handle connections.</p>



<p>Additionally, ARC stores a new format of blocks containing transaction IDs rather than full transaction data.&nbsp;This architecture aims to enhance transaction reliability and efficiency in the Bitcoin network. ARC consists of four microservices: the API, Metamorph, BlockTX and Callbacker.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-understanding-liteclient">Understanding LiteClient</h2>



<p>LiteClient allows exchanges to validate their subset of transactions by leveraging Merkle proofs via block headers, and the ability to check unspent transactions on the blockchain. This approach eliminates the need to run a full node, which can cost thousands of dollars per month.</p>



<p>By utilising LiteClient infrastructure, exchanges can significantly reduce their running costs by approximately 100 times at the moment. Simultaneously, they can still ensure the validation of transactions efficiently and securely.</p>



<p>The key advantage of LiteClient is that it enables businesses to scale with the volume of their transactions rather than the total network volume. This scalability is crucial as more businesses adopt blockchain applications.
