Chain Core is a Go application for operating and connecting to permissioned blockchain networks conforming to the Chain Protocol, maintaining a cryptographically-secured multi-asset shared ledger for issuing and transferring digital assets. The Developer Edition is a free, open-source (AGPL-3.0) version for learning, experimenting, and prototyping locally on Mac, Windows, or Linux.
Use cases
- run a local permissioned blockchain node
- issue and transfer digital assets on a shared ledger
- prototype a blockchain network before production
- connect to the public Chain testnet
- learn how the Chain Protocol works
- build a multi-asset ledger with a trusted issuer
When to choose
- you need a permissioned, scalable blockchain rather than a public one
- you want to experiment with digital asset issuance locally for free
- you need a multi-asset ledger with interoperable asset formats
- you want to prototype against the Chain Protocol in Go
When to avoid
- you need a public, permissionless blockchain like Ethereum or Bitcoin
- you want a hosted stablecoin payments API rather than self-run ledger software
- your project requires active community development - the project appears to be in maintenance mode
- you need smart contract programmability beyond asset issuance and transfer
