Brenthy & Walytis are technologies that take the development of blockchain tech to a new level. Walytis is a lightweight, flexible, accessible and application-oriented type of blockchain, and Brenthy is a framework to aid the development and deployment of new blockchain types.
Developed together, they share a repository because they rely on each other very strongly.
A flexible, lightweight, nonlinear blockchain, built to be built upon.
Walytis is a type of blockchain that is essentially a fully distributed database-management system with a focus on accessibility, flexibility and lightweightedness. Applications can create a new Walytis blockchain (i.e. a new database) whenever they need one. While they can always add new data to it, existing data can never be deleted or modified.

Walytis project source: ./Brenthy/blockchains/Walytis_Beta
A framework for developing and deploying new kinds of blockchains.
Brenthy takes care of all the non-blockchain-related machinery like installation, update and auto-start of itself and its blockchain types. It also provides API-infrastructure to ease the development of blockchain APIs for applications. Using these ready-made features of Brenthy's allows developers of new blockchains to focus on developing their blockchain's core.

- Brenthy uses Walytis: A Walytis blockchain lies at the core of Brenthy's update system.
- Developed together: Brenthy & Walytis were developed as one project, and were compartmentalised to facilitate other blockchain inventors in developing and deploying their inventions.
- Live in the same repository: The code for Brenthy & Walytis live in the same repository to ease their development, testing, installation & deployment.
Ubuntu quick start:
# install prerequisites
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y python3-virtualenv git
# download BrenthyAndWalytis
git clone https://github.com/emendir/BrenthyAndWalytis
cd BrenthyAndWalytis
# set up python environment (you can skip this if you only want to install)
virtualenv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r Brenthy/requirements.txt
pip install walytis_beta_api # install API library
# run Brenthy, it will offer to install itself
python3 .Brenthy wil ask you whether you want to install or just run it.

- Install the
walytis_beta_apiPython package:
pip install walytis_beta_api- Start playing around in Python:
import walytis_beta_api as waly
blockchain = waly.Blockchain.create("MyFirstBlockchain")
block = blockchain.add_block("Hello there!".encode())Read the Tutorial to learn how to use Walytis, and start building cool stuff!
The above sections already contain some links to relevant parts of Brenthy & Walytis' documentation. It is still a work in progress, but already covers most aspects. Dive into the full documentation here: Documentation Overview
If you have any thoughts on Brenthy & Walytis or want to discuss the sensibility of their unique features, feel free to share them under GitHub discussions. I would especially appreciate reviews and analyses of Walytis' blockchain-architecture security.
Despite the documentation on Brenthy & Walytis' DevOps not being written yet, feel free to submit pull requests via GitHub if you think you know what you're doing.
If you don't have the time to learn how to contribute code directly, feel free to request features or report bugs via GitHub Issues.
