The Volt Platform Community edition is free, forever — the full workflow to build, sign, and run verifiable workloads on your own machine, with local offline ArmoredLedger signing and verification. One command gets you running.
The complete Volt workflow under our source-available license — free for individuals, education, and non-profits. No credit card, no trial clock.
Every artifact you build can be cryptographically signed and verified locally and offline — the same trust model that powers the paid hosted ledger.
An ultra-light runtime that runs containers, VMs, and native workloads on Linux without bolting security on afterward.
Paste this into a terminal on any 64-bit Linux machine. The script detects your architecture, verifies the download’s SHA-256 checksum, and installs the volt CLI.
curl -fsSL https://armoredgate-dl.b-cdn.net/install.sh | sh
Prefer to inspect first? Read the script at armoredgate-dl.b-cdn.net/install.sh before piping it to a shell, or download a tarball directly below.
Grab a release tarball for your platform from the latest channel. Each archive ships with a SHA-256 checksum file you can verify before extracting.
Four steps to build, sign, and run your first workload with provenance you can prove.
Check that the volt CLI is on your path and report its version.
volt version
Create a project and a local signing identity. Keys stay on your machine — Community signing is fully local and offline.
volt init my-app
cd my-app
volt keys generate
Build your workload and sign the artifact. The signature and a provenance record are written to your local ArmoredLedger.
volt build
volt sign ./dist # records provenance locally
Verify the signature before execution, then run it. Verification happens every time the workload starts.
volt verify ./dist
volt run ./dist
That is the whole trust model: signed at build, proven in the ledger, verified at runtime — on your own machine, at no cost.
Community is free forever for local use. Pro and Enterprise add the hosted, managed ArmoredLedger, unlimited nodes, team features, SLAs, and Gov-Secure options — tamper-evident provenance you can prove to an auditor without operating the infrastructure yourself.
