# Trace Retrieval Microservice
The trace retrieval microservice is used as an interface to the blockchain component (TIC). It receives and preprocesses all available traces.

The RESTful API gateway sends traces as messages to the trace retrieval microservice. These traces are then stored in a MongoDB document database and the semantic linking microservice is notified. This microservice provides access to all stored traces via REST.
