Gateway API

To support upcoming partnerships, public API access, and rising traffic, Subnet 17 built a high-throughput, low-latency subnet access layer. It’s designed to handle a large number of concurrent uploads from validators, real-time stats, and with support for dynamic load balancing, for more information read the whitepaper.

Key Components of the Project:

• Consensus Engine – Based on Raft (OpenRaft), the system achieves distributed consensus across nodes and shares the internal state for every node in the cluster.
• Transport Protocol – QUIC transports RAFT messages, ensuring fast, low-latency communication while also encrypting all data.
• API Layer – The interface operates over HTTP/3, adhering to modern web standards for responsive client interactions.
• Encryption – Rustls provides TLS 1.3 encryption to secure communication channels.
• Concurrency Model – The solution is entirely non-blocking and employs lock-free algorithms throughout, with the only exception being an RwLock used in the commit log for consistency.

Development Environment

To run the project with 3 nodes, just execute:

./dev-env.sh
