Project Description
The Tux Project aimed to create a custom Linux-based operating system optimized for blockchain development using the Cosmos SDK. The client required a secure, lightweight, and pre-configured distribution that could streamline development workflows, simplify node deployments, and serve as a reliable base for running validators and related tools. With system-level automation and pre-integrated Cosmos dependencies, the platform was designed to accelerate blockchain setup.
Scope Of Work
The client needed a purpose-built Linux OS featuring Cosmos SDK integration, Starport CLI configuration, and automated validator node setup. The distribution had to support blockchain code compilation, include wallet and explorer modules, and allow consistent deployment across test and production hardware. As part of the engagement, the client also requested detailed documentation to support configuration, deployment, and node maintenance tasks for their internal teams.
Our Solution
To meet the client’s technical and operational needs, we delivered the following:
- Built a custom Linux image using the Yocto Project with Cosmos SDK pre-installed and optimized for blockchain environments
- Configured Starport CLI and initialized default chain parameters tailored to the client’s use case
- Developed validator node automation scripts to handle genesis setup, node initialization, and peer configurations
- Compiled the entire Cosmos SDK codebase for compatibility with the custom OS kernel and packages
- Delivered a web-based wallet interface for end users and developers to manage token operations
- Built a blockchain explorer for transaction visibility, block tracking, and network metrics
- Documented the full system—including setup instructions, validator operations, wallet usage, and explorer configuration—for internal IT training and support
