SignCTRL

SignCTRL is a high availability solution for Tendermint that enables the creation of a highly available, self-managing set of validators that uses the blockchain itself as a perfectly synchronous communication line for double-signing protection.

⚠ SignCTRL is still beta software and not considered ready for production, yet. Use at your own risk.

Why SignCTRL?

1. Built-in double-signing protection
2. Very lightweight (no additional communication overhead for coordination work)
3. No more sentry nodes are needed, as the validators in the set back each other up
4. Minimal setup requires only two nodes

Requirements

• Go v1.16+
• Tendermint v0.34+ (with protobuf support)
