The Blackbox is an ARM-first pluggable platform for deploying multi-chain applications. It is used as the basis for all Crypdex's Blackbox devices. Basic info and getting started stuff is on this page.
All documentation is available here.
The Blackbox builds on Docker container and orchestration tooling to address the specific needs of running blockchain-centric networks including security, data management, and inter-process communication. The goal is to make creating blockchain stacks simple.
Here are a few examples of what you can do with the Blackbox.
- Spin up a Bitcoin+Lightning node on
regtestfor local development - Create a "seedbox" that keeps a bunch of chains up to date
- Create a multi-chain staking node with all the classic Proof of Stake chains
- Run a Sparkswap Broker
More examples are in the documentation.
- Multiarch All The Things! Runs on
x86andarmchipsets. - Portable, Docker-based service stack.
- Optimized for running multiple full nodes.
- Expandable with new chains. Dynamically.
- Binary wrappers for easy CLI and RPC access
- Maintenance! Service definitions, recipes, and images are maintained and kept up-to-date ensuring that your project is always running the right fork.
All documentation is now at https://crypdex.github.io/blackbox. There you will find installation instructions and well as hardware and software requirements
There are other projects which overlap with this one. If you have a project you would like to include in this list, lemme know.
