Blueprint Manager

The Blueprint Manager is the operator-side runtime that turns on-chain services into running off-chain infrastructure.

At a high level, the Blueprint Manager:

  • Watches the chain for service lifecycle events (service activation, job calls, service termination).
  • Fetches and verifies blueprint artifacts (native binaries, containers, WASM, etc.).
  • Runs service instances in the target execution environment.
  • Submits liveness heartbeats and optional QoS metrics on-chain.
  • Handles streamed fee drips (when services use streaming payments).

This page focuses on the operational role of the Blueprint Manager. For integration details, see:
