**APIs profiled:** 1

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.
