 # Logos Execution Zone Indexer Module
 
-A Logos Core **service module** (`type: core`) that runs the Logos Execution Zone (L2) indexer and exposes it to the Logos ecosystem. It is a thin Qt plugin around the `indexer_ffi` library from
-[`logos-execution-zone`](https://github.com/logos-blockchain/logos-execution-zone): it starts the indexer, which connects to an L1/bedrock node, indexes the zone's channel, and serves queries over an RPC (WebSocket) server.

+Registered module name: **`lez_indexer_module`**. Its public methods *are* its API — other modules call them in-process over the Logos protocol. It pairs with the
+[`lez-explorer-ui`](https://github.com/logos-co/lez-explorer-ui) block explorer, which reads from it **in-process over the Logos protocol** (typed `modules().lez_indexer_module.*` calls) — no RPC endpoint or socket in between.
 
 > [!TIP]
 >
-> **Keep the module name short.** `logos_host` derives a Qt Remote Objects `local:` socket from it (`local:logos_<name>_<id>`), and Unix socket path names are limited in at most 108 bytes (see [man unix](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/unix.7.html)). The build emits the library with no `lib` prefix so its filename equals the registered name (`lez_indexer_module`) - consumers derive the QtRO invoke target from the filename, so the two must stay identical.

 - `config_path` — **absolute** path to a JSON config (see

+- `port` — **legacy** parameter, still required by the pinned `indexer_ffi`. Logos-protocol consumers do not use it; pass any value as a **string** (e.g. `"8779"`). It is slated for removal once the FFI drops it.

+### Query methods (the Logos-protocol API)
+
+Each returns a compact JSON string (an **empty** string means not-found / failed query); all ids/hashes are 32-byte hex, all numeric args/ids are decimal strings.
+
+| Method | Returns |
+| --- | --- |
+| `getLastFinalizedBlockId()` | tip block id (bare decimal string) |
+| `getBlockById(block_id)` | block JSON |
+| `getBlockByHash(hash)` | block JSON |
+| `getBlocks(before, limit)` | JSON array of blocks; `before` = `""` for the tip, else a block id to page back from |
+| `getTransaction(hash)` | transaction JSON |
+| `getAccount(account_id)` | account JSON (the payload omits the id; callers inject the queried id) |
+| `getTransactionsByAccount(account_id, offset, limit)` | JSON array of transactions touching the account |
+
+Because the module uses the universal authoring model (`interface: "universal"`), it publishes a typed LIDL contract, so universal consumers get Qt-typed wrappers (`modules().lez_indexer_module.getBlockById(...)`) rather than dynamic by-name calls.
