### Hydra explorer supporting multiple versions

TODO
The hydra explorer currently supports only one version on one network. This is
because the Hydra scripts are compiled into `hydra-node` and
`hydra-chain-observer` binaries and the observer talks is connected to a single
`cardano-node` running as a client on one network. To support multiple versions,
we need to compile the scripts of each version into individual chain observer
binaries and communicate with them through an API. While Plutus validators
change on any modification (their hashes and addresses), this API between the
`hydra-chain-observer` and `hydra-explorer` components can serve as an
integration point which we can support through multiple versions of the
protocol.
