# 2.2 Blockchain-as-a-Service (Litecoin Only)

Running blockchain infrastructure is operationally heavy.

PTERI provides **Litecoin Blockchain-as-a-Service** so developers can focus on products, not nodes.

#### What this includes

* Litecoin node access
* Address and UTXO indexing
* Transaction construction
* Broadcasting
* Confirmation tracking
* MWEB-aware handling

#### What this does *not* include

* Custody
* Key management
* Transaction signing

PTERI infrastructure **verifies and observes** — it does not control.

#### Why Litecoin

Litecoin provides:

* Proven proof-of-work security
* UTXO-based verification
* Faster block times for better UX
* Optional privacy via MWEB
* Minimal protocol complexity

This makes Litecoin ideal as:

* A settlement layer
* A verification layer
* A public time-ordering system

> Litecoin is infrastructure — not an experiment.
