✅ Ecosystem Manager
The Ecosystem Manager lets you create and customize your blockchain universe, simulating real-world scenarios with virtual users and projects.
6.1 Blockchain Settings
Purpose: Configure your blockchain's core parameters.
Network Parameters
Consensus Settings:
Mining difficulty: 1-10 scale
Higher = More secure, slower blocks
Lower = Faster blocks, less secure
Block time target: Desired seconds between blocks (5-60s)
Max block size: Maximum transactions per block
Token Settings:
KNL Token:
Name: Kennel Token
Total supply cap
Initial distribution
KGAS Token:
Name: Gas Token
Gas price (adjustable)
Fee burn rate
Reward Structure:
Mining reward: KNL per block
Reward halving: Reduce rewards over time (like Bitcoin)
Halving interval: Blocks until reward cuts in half
Network Rules
Transaction Rules:
Minimum transaction amount
Maximum transaction amount
Transaction fee calculation method
Validation Rules:
Required confirmations: Blocks before transaction is final
Double-spend protection: Enabled/disabled
Orphan block handling
Save Configuration: Apply changes to blockchain
6.2 Virtual Users Manager
Purpose: Populate your blockchain with simulated users who perform actions.
Creating Virtual Users
User Profiles:
Name: Auto-generated or custom (e.g., "Alice_Dev", "Bob_Trader")
Role:
Miner: Focuses on mining blocks
Trader: Makes frequent transactions
Holder: Accumulates and holds tokens
Developer: Deploys contracts
Starting balance: Initial KNL and KGAS allocation
Avatar: Auto-generated visual identifier
Bulk Creation:
Generate Multiple button: Create 5, 10, or 20 users at once
Random names and roles assigned
Even distribution of starting balances
User Behaviors
Behavior Configuration (per user):
Activity level: How often they perform actions
High: Very active
Medium: Moderate activity
Low: Occasional actions
Transaction frequency: Transactions per hour
Mining participation: CPU power dedicated (for miners)
Risk tolerance: For traders (affects transaction sizes)
Automated Actions: When simulation is running, virtual users:
Send transactions to each other
Mine blocks (if role = Miner)
Respond to market conditions
Interact with deployed contracts
User Management
User List displays:
Name and role
Current KNL and KGAS balance
Total transactions sent/received
Blocks mined (if miner)
Last active timestamp
Actions per user:
Edit: Modify settings
Delete: Remove user
View Activity: See transaction history
Manual Control: Trigger specific actions
Learning Objectives
Simulate a real blockchain network
Observe emergent behaviors from many actors
Test blockchain under load
Study transaction patterns
6.3 Projects Manager
Purpose: Create decentralized applications and track their blockchain usage.
Creating Projects

Track progress
Associate blocks with milestones
Team Collaboration
Team Members:
Add wallet addresses of team members
Assign roles (Owner, Developer, Admin)
Track contributions
Permissions:
Who can modify project settings
Who can deploy new contracts
Who has admin access
