Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Amazon Managed Blockchain to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Amazon Managed Blockchain, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

For Agents

Provision and operate Hyperledger Fabric blockchain networks, manage members, peer nodes, and governance proposals through one API.

Use for: I need to create a new Hyperledger Fabric network for a supply chain consortium, Invite a member to join an existing blockchain network, Provision a new peer node for our member in availability zone us-east-1a, List all proposals currently open on a network

Not supported: Does not handle smart contract execution, wallet management, or token transfers - use for blockchain network, member, node, and governance provisioning only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Amazon Managed Blockchain API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Supply Chain Consortium Network

Manufacturers, logistics partners, and retailers stand up a permissioned Hyperledger Fabric network on Managed Blockchain to share traceability records. The API creates the network, admits each partner as a member through governance proposals, and provisions peer nodes per organization. AWS handles ordering services, certificate authorities, and node patching so the consortium owns only the chaincode and integration code.

Call CreateNetwork with FRAMEWORK=HYPERLEDGER_FABRIC and STARTER edition, then create a member for our organization with an admin user, and provision a single peer node in us-east-1a

Decentralised Application Backend

dApp teams use Managed Blockchain accessors to issue read-only access tokens for Ethereum mainnet and testnets without running their own nodes. CreateAccessor returns a billing token used to authorise JSON-RPC read calls; the API also handles listing and revoking accessors. This pattern offloads node operations and lets the agent focus on transaction crafting via wallets external to AWS.

Call CreateAccessor with AccessorType=BILLING_TOKEN, then list current accessors and return the active token for use against Ethereum read endpoints

Network Governance Workflows

Consortium operators use proposal and voting endpoints to admit or remove members, change configuration, and audit decisions. CreateProposal opens the vote, ListProposals shows open and closed items, and VoteOnProposal records each member's choice. All actions are tagged with members and timestamps so the consortium has an audit trail of governance.

List open proposals on the network, then vote YES on a specific ProposalId on behalf of MemberId m-ABC123

AI Agent Blockchain Operations

AI agents use Managed Blockchain through Jentic to provision nodes, monitor network status, and execute governance actions on behalf of operators. Jentic isolates AWS Signature v4 credentials in the vault and exposes the network, member, node, and proposal operations as discoverable tools so the agent can answer 'add a peer node in eu-west-1' without learning the AWS SDK.

Search Jentic for 'create a blockchain peer node', load the CreateNode operation, and execute it for NetworkId n-NET123 and MemberId m-MEM123 with an InstanceType of bc.t3.medium in availability zone eu-west-1a

Key Endpoints

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your AWS access key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and used to sign each Managed Blockchain request with SigV4 at execution time. The raw secret never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a blockchain peer node' or 'vote on a governance proposal', and Jentic returns the matching Managed Blockchain operation such as CreateNode with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the AWS reference.

FAQs

Specific to using Amazon Managed Blockchain API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Amazon Managed Blockchain?

AWS does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Amazon Managed Blockchain via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.

What authentication does the Amazon Managed Blockchain API use?

The control-plane API uses AWS HMAC request signing (Signature Version 4) with an access key ID and secret access key scoped via IAM. Through Jentic, AWS credentials sit in the encrypted vault and are signed into each request server-side, so the agent only handles short-lived scoped sessions.

Can I provision peer nodes with the Amazon Managed Blockchain API?

Yes. POST /networks/{networkId}/members/{memberId}/nodes creates a peer node with a chosen InstanceType (e.g. bc.t3.medium) and AvailabilityZone. GET on the same path lists existing nodes; the per-node DescribeNode endpoint returns status, framework attributes, and logging configuration.

What are the rate limits for the Amazon Managed Blockchain API?

AWS does not document per-second request limits for Managed Blockchain control-plane operations in the public spec. Instead, soft quotas apply to the number of networks, members per network, and nodes per member. Check the AWS service quotas console for current limits in your region.

How do I create a governance proposal through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create a blockchain proposal' to surface POST /networks/{networkId}/proposals. Load the schema with the Jentic SDK (pip install jentic), then execute it with the proposing MemberId and the Actions object describing the change. Use VoteOnProposal to record subsequent votes.

Is Amazon Managed Blockchain free?

No. Managed Blockchain charges per member per hour, per peer node by instance hours, and for data written and storage on the network. There is no free tier - see the AWS Managed Blockchain pricing page for current rates by framework and edition.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Amazon Managed Blockchain API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use. Managed Blockchain carries the network id in the URL path (/networks/{networkId}/...), so a rule can pin the agent to a single network where it can create members, nodes, and proposals and nothing outside it. You choose the exact operations it may call, so destructive ones such as network or node deletion are excluded unless you explicitly add them.
