Work in progress

Work in progress: we are building this site ahead of MainNet. Details will change.

This site is still being built

ZooBC is building in the open. What you see here is current and honest, but it is not finished: read it as where we are today, not as a final statement.

Between now and MainNet, things will change: wording, structure, images, and figures. Some pages are placeholders.

The wider ZooBC ecosystem arrives in stages. The wallet, the explorer, and the community channels each come online as MainNet approaches, and this site grows alongside them.

If something reads wrong, looks broken, or seems misleading, tell us. Feedback now is worth more to us than a polished launch later.

Additional languages will be enabled after the site is complete.

ZOOBC / GATEWAY

This Gateway

ZooBC Gateway status, system resources, live chain figures, node routing, tools, and operator links.

Choose a network

A gateway belongs to the network it fronts. Each one reports its own status, its own allowlist, and the nodes it can actually reach.

01 / WHAT A GATEWAY IS

The HTTPS front door

A gateway terminates TLS, rate-limits, and proxies the chain API to the nodes behind it. That is the whole job. It holds no keys, decides nothing about consensus, and cannot change what the chain says.

It exists so a browser can talk to ZooBC without running a node. Everything it serves is also obtainable by asking a node directly, which is the point: a gateway is a convenience, never an authority.

02 / WHAT IT REPORTS

Status, and what it can reach

The status view shows the gateway's own mode and domain, how many nodes are on its allowlist, which of them are answering, and the live chain height it is serving. Those figures come from the gateway itself and from the nodes it proxies.

An unreachable node is reported as unreachable. It is never shown as a zero, because a gateway that cannot reach the chain and a chain with nothing in it are different facts and must not look the same.

03 / RUNNING ONE

Operators

Anyone can run a gateway. The installer sets one up alongside a node or on its own: curl -fsSL https://zoobc.network/install | bash -s -- --gateway. Roles combine, so --node --gateway --relay in one invocation is valid.

The developer guide covers the endpoints a gateway exposes, how GET and POST are routed differently, and the allowlist. The gateway API itself is documented under API reference.
