UmlindiNode

Project details match catalog

About

Picture a little watchman that never sleeps, sitting next to a Lightning node. It watches if channels are healthy, if there's enough liquidity ready, and if the node is even online. If something looks wrong, it shouts for help.

Impact

Small Lightning node operators in Africa often run on unreliable power and internet, conditions most monitoring tools quietly assume away. UmlindiNode gives operators real visibility, built to survive outages instead of breaking during them.

Progress

I built real time systems for BlockchainStar, a live multiplayer quiz game that distributes prizes to winners the instant the blockchain declares them.

Team

BlockchainStar taught me to build systems that watch live on chain state and react within seconds, the same instinct UmlindiNode needs for channel and liquidity alerts. I also build for networks that don't assume perfect power or internet.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
