## What it is
Bazuka is the wallet and node software for the Ziesha Protocol, a layer-1 proof-of-stake cryptocurrency that uses zero-knowledge proofs (Zero Contracts) as the backend of its smart contracts. It keeps contract states publicly available so anyone can update and build on them.

## Use cases
- run a Ziesha blockchain node
- validate blocks on the Ziesha network
- manage a Ziesha cryptocurrency wallet
- interact with zero-knowledge smart contracts
- join the Ziesha testnet as a validator
- store and update public contract states

## When to choose
- you want to run or validate on the Ziesha network
- you need a wallet for the Ziesha cryptocurrency
- you want to experiment with zero-knowledge smart contracts on a layer-1 chain

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose blockchain toolkit
- you want a production-ready wallet for an established cryptocurrency
- you need software for a different blockchain protocol

## Facets
- artifact type: application
