Overview

BlockForge is designed to foster the development of cutting-edge blockchain solutions, ranging from data relays and blockchain building tools to decentralized bridges, business process management systems, and ZK Rollup chains. By consolidating multiple projects into a single repository, we aim to promote code sharing, consistent dependency management, and a unified development experience.

Projects

The following projects are currently under development within the BlockForge monorepo:

• Necta: An ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool for blockchain data.

• Nova: A blockchain building tool that enables rapid scaffolding of Cosmos SDK-based blockchains.

Additional projects, such as a decentralized bridge, a decentralized business process management blockchain, and a ZK Rollup chain, are planned for future development within the monorepo.

Getting Started

To get started with BlockForge, follow these steps:
