## What it is
Go-quai is the official Go implementation of the Quai Network protocol, a sharded blockchain. It provides a node client that can be built from source and run to participate in the network, including mining and slice participation.

## Use cases
- run a Quai Network node
- mine Quai coins with a coinbase address
- participate in specific network slices
- connect to the garden test network
- develop and test against the Quai protocol

## When to choose
- you want to operate a full node on the Quai Network
- you want to mine Quai
- you need the reference implementation for protocol development

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight wallet only
- you work with a different blockchain
- you cannot build Go projects from source

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: blockchain, cli, networking, cryptography
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools
- platform: windows, go, cli
- tags: blockchain-node, quai-network, golang, proof-of-work, sharded-blockchain, cryptocurrency, command-line, linux, macos
