Chia Network

aid: chia-network
name: Chia Network
description: Chia Network is the company behind an open-source, decentralized blockchain that uses a Proof of Space and Time
  consensus model, letting participants "farm" with unused disk space instead of energy-intensive mining. Its reference implementation,
  chia-blockchain, runs a full node, farmer, harvester, timelord, and wallet, and exposes a set of local, TLS-certificate-secured
  JSON RPC services (full node, wallet, farmer, harvester, DataLayer, crawler, timelord, solver, and a WebSocket daemon) alongside
  the `chia` command-line interface and the Chialisp smart-contract language. Chia also builds tooling for tokenized carbon
  and climate applications (Climate Action Data Trust). The developer surface centers on the RPC APIs, official Python and
  Rust packages, and an extensive GitHub organization rather than a public hosted API.

  description: Local JSON-over-HTTPS RPC surface exposed by the chia-blockchain reference node. Each service (full_node, wallet,
    farmer, harvester, datalayer, crawler, timelord, solver) listens on its own port and is secured with TLS client certificates;
    the daemon additionally routes RPCs over WebSocket. Intended to run on localhost.
