Guides for Node and API Operators

WAX infrastructure can be split into a few broad service types:

• chain nodes for peer and API workloads
• state-history nodes for downstream consumers
• indexed history stacks such as Hyperion
• asset-oriented APIs for NFT and marketplace workloads
• supporting services such as load balancers, routing, storage, and monitoring
