Key Features

Ergo node, a full blockchain node, the reference client implementation.
Ergo backends
- Explorer API, provides a set of HTTP API methods for querying chain/off-chain data.
- UTX watcher, dumps unconfirmed transactions from mempool to local database.
- UTX broadcaster, broadcasts unconfirmed transactions to Ergo nodes.
- Chain grabber, scans blockchain and dumps aggregated data to database.
- Yoroi backend, a wrapper for the Ergo explorer API providing light wallets endpoints.
Ergo frontends
- Ergo node panel, build-in
- Ergo explorer, a browser for viewing activity on the underlying blockchain network.

Installation

The bootstrap cluster is supposed to be a development tool and we do not recommend using it as a production deployment.

You need to have docker and docker-compose installed on your system. We recommend at least 8GB of memory.
