Allways

Universal Transaction Layer

Trustless native transactions across independent assets — Bittensor Subnet 7 (SN7).

Overview

Allways creates a verification layer above independent systems. Assets move natively. Miners complete transactions, validators independently verify the results, and a smart contract enforces outcomes through collateral and slashing.

Currently live with BTC ↔ TAO. Designed to scale to any verifiable asset.

Getting Started

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Bittensor wallet
• Docker & Docker Compose

Installation

Running with Docker

Miner:

docker compose -f docker-compose.miner.yml up -d

Validator:

docker compose -f docker-compose.vali.yml up -d

Both require a .env file with PORT and WALLET_PATH configured.

CLI

uv sync
# activate the uv virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate

alw --help

Architecture

• Miners: Post exchange rate pairs and collateral, fulfill swap orders
• Validators: Monitor swaps, verify on-chain transactions, vote on outcomes
• Smart Contract: Manages collateral, swap lifecycle, and validator voting
• CLI: User interface for posting pairs, managing collateral, and executing swaps
