The reference node implementation of the æternity blockchain, a scalable public blockchain platform written in Erlang. It supports smart contracts, state channels, oracles, a naming system, and tokens, and can be run via installer packages or Docker.
Use cases
- run an aeternity blockchain node
- mine aeternity coins
- deploy and execute smart contracts on aeternity
- sync the aeternity mainnet or testnet from a snapshot
- operate a node in docker for blockchain development
- build decentralized apps on the aeternity platform
- run a hyperchain sidechain secured by bitcoin PoW
When to choose
- you need to operate or participate in the æternity network as a miner or node operator
- you are building dapps or smart contracts targeting the æternity protocol
- you want a blockchain with state channels for high-throughput off-chain transactions
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose blockchain framework to build your own chain from scratch
- you want Ethereum or EVM compatibility
- you are not working with the æternity ecosystem specifically
