The development board for the decentralised world
With another 41 days to go on Kickstarter, the Elk has already reached its goals. Elk is a development board for the blockchain and the decentralized web. It combines the simplicity of Arduino along with native support for decentralized networks. With only a few lines of code you can build IoT that interfaces with Ethereum, IPFS, Whisper, and much more.
The Elk development board includes a powerful processor (Allwinner H3) to connect directly to decentralized networks with no intermediaries. It is plug-and-play just like an Arduino, includes an Arduino compatible SDK, and a mobile app that allows you to communicate with your hardware privately through decentralized technologies.
GENERAL SPECS
- Easy to use and extensible SDK for Ethereum, Whisper, IPFS, Status, and more on the way.
- A mobile app to easily control your hardware via Whisper
