Zilliqa is the C++ reference client for the Zilliqa layer-1 public blockchain, a high-throughput smart contract platform that uses sharded architecture to process thousands of transactions per second. This repository contains the core protocol implementation running the Zilliqa mainnet and testnet, including node software, consensus, and RPC APIs.
Use cases
- run a Zilliqa node or seed node on the mainnet or testnet
- become a Zilliqa validator or miner
- query Zilliqa blockchain data via JSON-RPC API
- deploy and call Scilla smart contracts on Zilliqa
- study or contribute to a sharded blockchain protocol implementation
- set up a private Zilliqa network for testing
When to choose
- you need to operate infrastructure for the live Zilliqa network
- you want to inspect or modify the core Zilliqa protocol in C++
- you are running a Zilliqa mining or staking node
When to avoid
- you want to build dApps rather than run nodes - use the Zilliqa SDKs instead
- you need Zilliqa 2.0 features - this is the legacy zq1 client
- you want a general-purpose blockchain framework to fork for your own chain
