# Introduction

[**sn-api**](http://github.com/status-im/sn-api) (the hedgehog) is blazing fast offchain engine of Status Network written running on NodeJS.

It's responsible for indexing and managing any offchain data for the Status Network Hub, as well as management of Karma points rewarding system done through the offchain actions.

It's the canonical off-chain indexing and operations service for official Status Network applications.
