Description

## Outcome

A later architecture decision determines whether and how GovTool should introduce a dedicated live-data indexer.

## Scope

- Compare db-sync, Blockfrost, Kupo, and Ogmios for live-data needs
- Identify latency, completeness, operational, and failure-mode requirements
- Define boundaries between provider adapters, indexing, caching, and API services
- Produce an ADR and follow-up options without committing implementation

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] Scope is decomposed into independently deliverable child issues.
- [ ] Architecture and API decisions are linked from this issue.
- [ ] Test, documentation, observability, rollout, and failure behavior are defined where applicable.
- [ ] Epic exit criteria are verified before closure.

## Planning note

This is a 2026 GovTool revamp work item. Its child features and tasks should be added as the scope is refined.

Research direction

Start by comparing db-sync, Blockfrost, Kupo, and Ogmios against the stated latency, completeness, operational, and failure-mode requirements. Define the boundaries between provider adapters, indexing, caching, and API services, then produce the ADR, split independently deliverable child issues, and link the resulting architecture and API decisions.
