blockgauge

This is a microservice to accompany blockprint and blockdreamer.

The aim of the gauge is to measure blockprint's accuracy live using synthetic blocks from blockdreamer. It does this by receiving blocks from blockdreamer via POST /classify, and then preparing and sending them to blockprint for classification. The classifications are then compared to the known identities of the nodes, recorded by the gauge and served on the GET /accuracy endpoint.

Installation

A Docker image is available on the GitHub container registry:

docker pull ghcr.io/blockprint-collective/blockgauge

Or you can build from source:

cargo build --release

Configuration

Blockgauge needs to be pointed at a blockprint API server and a Lighthouse node.

Measure the accuracy of a blockprint instance using synthetic blocks

Usage: blockgauge [OPTIONS] --lighthouse-url <URL> --blockprint-url <URL>

Options:
      --lighthouse-url <URL>  Lighthouse node to fetch block reward data from
      --blockprint-url <URL>  Blockprint instance to use for classifying blocks
      --listen-address <IP>   Address to listen on [default: 127.0.0.1]
      --port <N>              Port to listen on [default: 8002]
  -h, --help                  Print help
  -V, --version               Print version

API endpoints

• POST /classify: accept a JSON ClassifyRequest containing blocks to classify.
• GET /accuracy: return a JSON Summary containing information about the classified blocks.
