Documentation

Everything you need to interact with ShardoChain — from your first transaction to running a validator. The docs mirror the internal protocol design and stay in sync with each release.

Where to start

• Quickstart — install the wallet, fund an address, send your first transfer in under five minutes.
• Wallet CLI — every shardo-wallet subcommand with examples.
• Light client — verify the header chain without running a full node.

Understand the protocol

• Architecture — the 13-crate Rust core, the Go API bridge, and where each subsystem lives.
• Proof of History — SHA-256 verifiable delay function, slot derivation, and how PoH integrates with consensus.
• HotStuff-2 — header v4, view-change protocol, lock-on-QC, and recovery paths.
• Protocol specs — full parameter table, signature schemes, address format, and storage layout.

Operate

• JSON-RPC API — every shard_* method, request and response examples.
• Run a validator — staking flow, hardware sizing, monitoring, slashing.
• Tokenomics — supply, fees, inflation rewards, vesting.
