The team at blk.io have been hard at work during the past few months. We’ve been working on a number of initiatives which we’re now ready to bring together to present Epirus, our enterprise blockchain platform.

Epirus is made up of a number of core components, including:

Quorum blockchain

Crux transaction enclave

Blockchain Explorer

This is supported by further components such as web3j to provide straight forwards application integration, authentication services to provide permission access to the components in line with your organisations policies and finally the option of on-premise, cloud or SaaS deployment.

However, we want to get our platform in the hands of many, so we have made available a free version which you can install by running:



cd epirus

./epirus.sh git clone https://github.com/blk-io/epirus.git cd epirus./epirus.sh

This will run up a 4-node permissioned Quorum network, and our Blockchain Explorer, so you have a full Quorum environment to work with.

Once everything has started a browser window will open and you can start browsing the blockchain straight away with our Explorer!

The free platform node endpoints are fixed to keep things simple, they are available below and here.

The 4-node Quorum endpoints

Please get in touch if you want to find out more, or head to our new updated website to find out about our SaaS offerings too.

We’re still busy hiring, so if you want to come join our team please, check out our openings here!
