What it is

Canopy is the official Go implementation of the Canopy Network Protocol, a recursive blockchain framework where chains bootstrap each other into independence. It functions as an Ethereum-RPC compatible L1 that enables native transfers and integrates with existing Ethereum tooling (MetaMask, exchanges, indexers) while implementing a peer-to-peer recursive architecture for decentralized chain launches. Modular monorepo structure organized by layer: lib/ contains core protocol types (block, certificate, consensus, codec) and cryptography (lib/crypto/ with 15+ signing/hashing schemes); bft/, fsm/, controller/, p2p/, and store/ directories (referenced in README) contain consensus,…

Start here

Open these first:

  • bft/bft.go — Core Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus engine that orchestrates block proposal, voting, and finalization.
  • lib/block.go — Block structure and validation logic that defines the fundamental unit of the blockchain.
  • lib/tx.go — Transaction structure and encoding that represents state-change operations on the network.
  • lib/crypto/key.go — Cryptographic key management abstraction supporting multiple signature schemes (Ed25519, secp256k1, BLS).
  • cmd/cli/cli.go — Primary command-line interface entry point for node operators and developers.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Verify repository manifest first. Clone: git clone https://github.com/canopy-network/canopy.git && cd canopy. For the Go implementation, use go mod download (standard Go); for the explorer frontend, use `npm install…

Daily commands:

For the explorer (Node.js): npm run dev (Vite dev server on default port, per package.json). For Go binary: consult Makefile and controller/README.md for main entry points (not fully shown in data). Requires Go 1.21+…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Small team — 3 contributors active in recent commits
  • Protobuf regeneration: .pb.go files are generated; editing them directly will be overwritten. Use protoc to regenerate from .proto sources (not shown in data). Cryptographic scheme coupling: lib/crypto/…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
