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.
