Tools

On this page

Every CLI block can install today: 51 tools across 17 blockchain systems, from the registry snapshot embedded in the binary. The same list, offline, from the block you have installed:

block list                 # every tool, with the systems it serves
block list ethereum        # one system, with the commands each tool provides

A tool that serves more than one system is listed under each — an IBC relayer belongs to both Cosmos and IBC work. Commands are what lands on your PATH after block sync. Platforms are the upstream’s decision, not block’s: where a project publishes no build, block says so rather than substituting something else.

Listing is discovery, not selection. Nothing here is installed until you name it in block.toml, which stays the one place that says what your toolchain is.

A tool the registry does not carry — or one you want from a fork — is declared in your own block.toml, with the same fields a registry recipe uses:

[tools.foo]
version = "1.2"

[tools.foo.source]
type = "github_release"
repo = "example/foo"
asset = "foo_{version}_{os}_{arch}.tar.gz"
bin = ["foo"]

See Bring your own tool for the whole set of knobs. Nobody waits for a registry merge; promoting a definition to block-registry afterwards is a copy.
