TSUNAGI Labs

Infrastructure Experiments and Protocol Tooling

TSUNAGI Labs provides access to the internal mechanics of the TSUNAGI node. Each tool exposes a different aspect of the runtime — block decoding, ledger telemetry, and operational diagnostics — built from the same deterministic pipeline that powers the node.

Experiments

Active Tooling

Decode Pipeline
Block Decoder
Visual inspection of decoded block structures, transaction deltas, and CBOR-level ledger data.
→ /decode/
Diagnostics
Runtime Telemetry
Live health metrics from the running node. Sync progress, tip age, subsystem status, and resource utilization.
→ /status/
Ledger View
Block Explorer
Timeline view of block processing events. Decode results, ledger deltas, and chain activity in real time.
→ /explorer/
Operations
Operator Tooling
Readiness assessment, monitoring workflows, backup strategies, and operational diagnostics for node operators.
→ /operator/
CBOR Tools
CBOR Playground
Paste CBOR hex and decode it into a readable tree. Pure JS, no dependencies, runs entirely in-browser.
→ /labs/cbor-playground.html
Mempool
Transaction Observatory
Live decoded summaries of mempool transactions. Inputs, outputs, fees, and metadata from the submission path.
→ /labs/mempool.html
Confirmation
Confirmation Tracker
Correlates locally submitted transactions with block inclusion. Tracks confirmation time via exact txid matching.
→ /labs/confirmation.html
Consensus
Slot Observatory
Chain rhythm observation. Tracks block arrivals per slot and computes inter-block gaps to visualize chain density.
→ /labs/slots.html
Network
Network Observatory
Peer connection events, block arrival tracking, and network activity timeline from the node's perspective.
→ /labs/network.html
Block Production
Producer Readiness
Offline producer status evaluation. VRF/KES material check, leadership evaluation, and candidate block readiness.
→ /operator/
Block Production
Producer Dry-Run
Slot-by-slot local production rehearsal with candidate validation telemetry.
→ /operator/
Research Direction

Research Directions Not Implemented

Cross-chain UTxO Experiments
Exploring deterministic UTxO verification across trust boundaries. Not implemented.
Deterministic Replay Harness
Reproducing exact ledger states from archived block sequences. Not implemented.
Storage Engine Benchmarking
Comparative analysis of persistence backends under ledger workloads. Not implemented.
Protocol Visualization Tools
Rendering Ouroboros protocol interactions and consensus state transitions. Not implemented.

These are engineering directions under consideration, not commitments or active features. Each will be pursued when the foundational infrastructure supports it.

Let It Run. Let It Resolve.
