Architecture
Built layer by layer. Built right.
Black Wall is a modular, microkernel-based OS designed from the bootloader up for safety, modularity and clarity.
Application Layer
Sandboxed user apps, native UI toolkit, IPC.
System Services
REST API server, AI assistant, recovery service.
Microkernel
Rust kernel: memory, scheduling, IPC, capabilities.
Hardware Abstraction
Drivers, HAL, UEFI bootloader.
Design Principles
Memory Safety
Rust ownership model eliminates entire vuln classes.
Capability-Based
Apps explicitly request narrow rights — no ambient authority.
Microkernel Design
Tiny trusted core; everything else runs in user space.
Modular by Default
Every subsystem is a swappable, versioned module.
