The Kasparex API is a lightweight backend service that coordinates KREX Nodes, tracks uptime and performance, calculates rewards, and provides public data for the Kasparex frontend and ecosystem.

Think of KREX Nodes as the body (they pin and mirror data) and the Kasparex API as the brain (it tracks, scores, and coordinates them). The API does NOT replace Kaspa BlockDAG, Storacha, or IPFS - it simply manages the node network.

The API provides endpoints for node management (/api/node/*), reward calculations (/api/rewards/*), and public data (/api/dapps/*, /api/stats). All endpoints are documented at /api.
