## What it is
The official Go implementation of the Bytom blockchain protocol, providing a full node daemon (bytomd) and CLI client (bytomcli) for a multi-asset shared ledger. It lets participants manage keys, accounts, and assets, and issue, spend, and retire digital assets via JSON-RPC over HTTP, WebSocket, and IPC.

## Use cases
- run a bytom full node
- issue and transfer digital assets on a multi-asset blockchain
- manage blockchain keys and accounts from the command line
- interact with the bytom network via json rpc
- operate an archive node retaining full historical state
- set up a private bytom blockchain network

## When to choose
- you need to run or interact with the Bytom blockchain network
- you want a Go-based full node for issuing and transferring multi-chain digital assets
- you need a CLI and JSON-RPC gateway into the Bytom ledger

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose smart contract platform like Ethereum
- you want an actively developed blockchain with a large community
- you only need a wallet app rather than node software
- you were looking for the LLM token API now hosted at the bytomdao.org domain, which is unrelated to this repository
