Matlab has a tool for blockchain (though i never tried that)

• https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/65419-matlab-blockchain-example

However, both Ethereum and Hyperledger has testnet to test your app and measure performance.

• https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
• https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.4/

Moreover, you can build your testnet from scratch

Thanks.

What kind of consensus possible to simulate with this simulators?

Many thanks all for your responses.

Sergii Kushch I'm beginner with Blockchain so I will test the execution time of transaction, its cost , etc ...

VIBES is a blockchain simulator for large-scale P2P networks that you may find it here:

https://github.com/i13-msrg/vibes

and here:

Conference Paper VIBES: fast blockchain simulations for large-scale peer-to-p...

As well, for a special case, you can find a Bitcoin simulator below:

https://arthurgervais.github.io/Bitcoin-Simulator/index.html

If You want to test some features of existing blockchains, You should try their respective testnets (there are usually ones) as Lohan Spies

For instance, Bitcoin has its "Testnet", which is similar to the mainnet in manner of transactions structure, fee logic, scripts logic and infrastructure (third party scanners, RPCs, software libs etc) and in all other ways of user/developer experience.

Ethereum has also a full pack of testnets: ropsten, rinkeby, kovan, goerli. They differs from each other by their node's interaction logic, but are similar for blockchain users and DApp developers, so they have the same user experience, contracts behavior (written using solidity programming language) as ones on the Ethereum mainnet.

If You are considering path of existing blockchain usage, the first steps are to be the following:

- determine the blockchain, that is to be used;

- create testnet (Bitcoin case) or universal (Ethereum case) wallet - receive address and key pairs;

- get some testnet coins via "faucets" (coins are granted for free) by giving them Your wallet's address. You can find faucets by one of the search engines - don't worry sometimes they have funny interface and demanding proving that You are not a robot;

- try to interact with blockchain's testnet via respective services or apps.

If You would have further questions - please specify the blockchain You are considering to use - user experience is quite different for different blockchains, so this would help to provide You with better answers.

As I understand, the question was about testing parameters of Blockchain before it's creation. It would help with an optimization the blockchain for the specific task before creation the one.

It depends on your task. There are many network simulators like SimBlock, but i think MATLAB is more suitable

Following

There is also another open source BC network simulator:

https://dsg-titech.github.io/simblock/

I don't know if you're still looking, but Ganache is probably what you want. https://www.trufflesuite.com/ganache

Hi, I would say Hyperledger and Ethereum have the most metrics and parameters to play with these days. Or else you can opt to create your own blockchain in Python or any other language using your design parameters and then analyze their behavior.

Thank you all for your help

SimBlock is new opensource software particularly made up for Blockchain simulation.

Recently we have published this new Bitcoin simulator. The simulator is built on Docker technology to generate local testing network, and use the original Bitcoin reference implementation. https://github.com/noureddinel/core-bitcoin-net-simulator

BlockchainDB can be one of the possible alternative

If you are still looking for it, in that case, you can look at my blog article name as

10 Blockchain Simulators And Testnets For All Your Testing Needs

Published at hackernoon website.

does anyone have ns3 configuration tutorials for blockchain environment?

If you are using ethereum methodology then for code or smart contract simulation is Solidity IDE. And if you are using randomly platform along with ethereum then SIM Block is best overall.

Dear All

There are a number of Blockchain simulators and each with its specific features:

• Developers have the ability to develop their own BC simulator using programming languages such as python or via other simulators like Matlab or NS3 network simulator.
• Simulator BC using Game Theory or Queuing Theory.

please refer to the following papers:

According to your work . best blockchain simulators or platforms are Ethereum and Hyperledger

Nice Dear Jaspreet Kaur

You can find some interesting simulators in this link:

https://blockblog.fr/10-simulateurs-et-reseaux-de-test-blockchain-pour-tous-vos-besoins-de-test/

Here you find e.g. the testnet of Ardor, which I used to build my game project on: https://testardor.jelurida.com/index.html

https://www.jelurida.com/ardor/downloads here you can download the full node and with a seperate link the testnet database (all transactions till now). When installing don't forget to click "testnet".

This is the learning hub for it: https://ardordocs.jelurida.com/Getting_started

Same here. I would like to use simblock to simulate the ethereum platform. Anyone know how to use it?

what is the link for live Blockchain???

Which simulation platform is better for Hyperledger Fabric?

According to your work. Best blockchain simulators or platforms are InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), Ethereum, and Hyperledger. I implemented my work using IPFS. IPFS, a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) swarm network. It allows the sharing and storing of data in an efficient, decentralized, and transparent manner.

Hi Khouloud Boukadi It varies depending on the purpose Blockchain (BC) is being used for. How a cryptocurrency transaction works can be seen simply signing up on the Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) online platform. To customize ETH smart contracts (SC) to make sure if it serves a particular experiment goal, one needs to pay ETH Gas (network transaction fees) which can be demonstrated using Metamask Wallet (Browser extension). I have not run yet; however, some open-source simulating tools are available online; namely, SimBlock (https://dsg-titech.github.io/simblock) developed by TIT, Japan or BlockSim (https://github.com/maher243/BlockSim), etc. ETH facilitates developing private BC using Quorom (https://consensys.net/quorum) or Hydrachain (https://github.com/HydraChain/hydrachain). In line with that, IBM Hyperledger (HL) developed Caliper (https://hyperledger.github.io/caliper), a BC performance benchmarking for permissioned setup, i.e., BC performance benchmarking for HL Besu, Fabric, ETH, etc. Previously I run HLF Caliper to measure the performance of a BC implementation with a set of my predefined use cases (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9446684). As mentioned earlier, one single tool may not fulfill all the purposes we strive to do a test with. For example, one certainly needs High-Performance Computing (HPC) to test consensus (mining) algorithms, i.e., PoW, PoS, etc. However, if anyone is willing to set up a small BC network, BlockSim should be helping him out. Similarly, Caliper presents performance results, such as latency, scalability or delay overhead etc. Hope this helps. Zia, RMIT.
