## What it is
Raven Core is the full-node reference implementation of Ravencoin, a Bitcoin-forked peer-to-peer blockchain optimized for issuing and transferring assets and tokens. It provides wallet, mining (KAWPOW), and asset-creation functionality for the RVN network.

## Use cases
- run a ravencoin full node
- create and issue tokens or NFTs on a blockchain
- mine RVN with GPU
- send and receive ravencoin payments
- issue security tokens or gift cards as blockchain assets
- set up a testnet for blockchain development

## When to choose
- you need to issue or transfer assets on the Ravencoin network
- you want a Bitcoin-like codebase with native token support
- you need a full node or wallet for RVN

## When to avoid
- you need smart contracts or general-purpose dApps
- you want the highest-liquidity or largest-ecosystem blockchain
- you need a lightweight SPV-only wallet
