Monitor and analyze the emergent behaviors of Bitcoin networks.

Major Features

• Launch a bitcoin network with a specified number of nodes connected to each other according to a network topology from a graphml file.
• Scenarios can be run across the network which can be programmed using the Bitcoin Core functional test_framework language.
• Nodes can have traffic shaping parameters assigned to them via the graph using tc-netem tool.
• Data from nodes can be collected and searched including log files and p2p messages.
• Performance data from containers can be monitored and visualized.
• Lightning Network nodes can be deployed and operated.
• Small networks can be deployed locally with Docker Compose, larger networks can be deployed remotely with Kubernetes
