Why the Stack Matters
For most Forgers, the no-code builder feels like magic: drag a block, connect it, hit deploy. But behind that smooth experience is a carefully chosen modern tech stack that makes AiForge fast, reliable, and future-proof.
We don't expect every Forger to obsess over frameworks or runtimes — but for those who do, here's a transparent look at what powers the forge. This isn't smoke and mirrors. It's a stack engineered with the same seriousness as Fortune 500 software, built to scale as the community scales.
The Frontend: Fast, Clean, and Intuitive
The user interface is where Forgers spend their time, so the frontend stack is designed for performance and clarity:
- Next.js 15 – A modern React framework that delivers lightning-fast load times, server-side rendering, and scalability for complex dashboards.
- TypeScript – Every component is strongly typed, reducing bugs and improving developer confidence. It keeps the builder consistent and safe to use.
- Tailwind CSS – Utility-first styling that keeps the interface clean, responsive, and easy to iterate on. This ensures the no-code builder works just as smoothly on desktop and mobile.
- React Query – Handles all the data fetching, caching, and state management behind the scenes. This is why workflows update instantly and why Forgers rarely see loading spinners.
The result? A UI that feels snappy, stable, and effortless, even as complexity grows.
The API Gateway: The Heartbeat of AiForge
Between the frontend and the blockchain infrastructure is the API Gateway — the translator, protector, and orchestrator. It's powered by:
- Node.js & Express.js – Lightweight, fast, and proven under load. Perfect for handling thousands of concurrent requests.
- JWT Authentication – Every call is validated with secure tokens, ensuring only authorized requests are processed.
- WebSockets – Enables real-time communication between the builder and deployed agents. This is what makes testing feel instant and responsive.
This gateway makes sure the forge doesn't just work — it works securely, consistently, and at scale.
Blockchain & Web3 Layer
AiForge is deeply tied to 0G, and the blockchain stack ensures seamless integration:
- 0G Network – Provides decentralized compute, storage, and data availability. This is the backbone of every agent deployment.
- Smart Contracts – Automate agent logic, marketplace interactions, and ownership records.
- Web3.js – A trusted library for blockchain interactions, wallet connections, and transactions.
- Wallet Connect – Lets Forgers securely connect their wallets for deploying, owning, and monetizing agents.
This means AiForge agents aren't just apps — they're on-chain assets, with real ownership and verifiable execution.
Storage & Persistence
We've already covered storage in detail, but in stack terms:
- 0G Storage for decentralized resilience.
- IPFS for immutable content addressing.
- MongoDB for metadata, configs, and quick lookups.
- Encryption Layers on all storage systems to ensure data security.
AI Runtime & Orchestration
The brains of the operation — where agents actually run — are powered by:
- Docker & Kubernetes – Containerized and orchestrated environments that ensure agents can scale up or down dynamically.
- TensorFlow & PyTorch – Industry-standard frameworks for running and fine-tuning AI models when required.
- Auto-Scaling Logic – Ensures no agent is ever starved of resources, even under spikes.
This is why AiForge agents behave like first-class citizens: they're isolated, scalable, and resilient.
Why This Stack Matters
Choosing this stack wasn't about hype — it was about reliability and longevity.
- Forgers get a frontend that feels light and intuitive.
- Agents live on infrastructure that can handle thousands of queries per second.
- Every layer, from database to blockchain, is built with security, scale, and stability in mind.
When you build on AiForge, you're not building on a toy. You're building on the same foundations trusted by global enterprises, but delivered in a no-code package accessible to everyone.
For Forgers
You don't need to know React, Node, or Kubernetes to use AiForge — but it should give you confidence to know that's what's working behind the scenes.
The forge feels simple because the stack is powerful.
And when you deploy your first agent, you're tapping into one of the most robust no-code infrastructures ever built.
