Great project — the self-hosted node + your own indexer behind the explorer is the right call for trust-minimization.
One question about the rich-list page: are the top 10,000 entries raw per-address balances, or clustered by known custodial/exchange wallets before ranking? Raw address-balance rankings tend to overstate 'whale' concentration, since a lot of the top addresses are consolidation UTXOs or cold-storage batches held by exchanges rather than individual holders. Wallet-clustering heuristics (common-input-ownership, change-address detection) are how other explorers have separated real large holders from custodial aggregation, but they're nontrivial to build and keep current against your own indexer since deposit addresses get generated constantly.
If the list is currently unclustered, a short disclaimer ('balances shown are per-address, not per-entity — large addresses are frequently exchange or custodial wallets') might help newer users avoid reading it as an individual-wealth ranking. Curious whether clustering is already on the roadmap — it's a genuinely hard problem without an off-chain tagging database.
