Chia

aid: chia
name: Chia
description: Chia Network is the company behind the Chia blockchain, a decentralized layer-1 network whose native coin is
  XCH. Chia replaces energy-intensive Proof of Work with Nakamoto-consensus Proof of Space and Time, letting participants
  "farm" with standard disk hardware. The open-source Python reference client runs a full node, farmer, harvester, timelord
  and wallet and exposes a local JSON-RPC API (secured with mutual TLS) across full-node, wallet, farmer, harvester, DataLayer,
  DID, NFT, offers, DAO, VC and simulator services, plus the `chia` command-line client. On-chain smart transactions are authored
  in Chialisp / CLVM, and the network supports CATs (tokens), NFTs, DIDs, offers, DataLayer and DAOs. Chia was surfaced as
  a portfolio company of a16z and Greylock and enriched from its public developer surface.
