+### Galexie (Ledger Meta Exporter)
+
+Galexie is a ledger meta exporter that captures ledger close meta, which contains transaction meta, from the network and stores it locally. The exported ledger meta follows the [SEP-54](https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/ecosystem/sep-0054.md) format and is served via a file server.
+
+The ledger meta is only available in `--local` network mode. To enable it use the `--enable` option to specify all the services you wish to run and include `galexie`.
+
+```
+docker run -it -p 8000:8000 stellar/quickstart --local --enable core,rpc,galexie
+```
+
+
+The ledger meta is available at:
+
+```
+http://localhost:8000/ledger-meta
+```
+
+The ledger meta store includes:
+- `.config.json` - Configuration file describing the data format
+- Partition directories containing compressed XDR files compressed with zstd with one ledger per file (`.xdr.zst`)
+
 ### Using in GitHub Actions
 
 The quickstart image can be run in GitHub Actions workflows using the provided action. This is useful for testing smart contracts, running integration tests, or any other CI/CD workflows that need a Stellar network.
