Features

Fast synchronization of blocks from the Cardano network(s)	↗️
Transaction submission with enhanced error messages	↗️
Evaluation of Plutus script execution units	↗️
Local mempool monitoring	↗️
State queries Network queryNetwork Information blockHeight The chain's highest block number. genesisConfiguration Get the genesis configuration of a specific era. startTime The chain's start time (UTC). tip The network's current tip. Ledger queryLedgerState Information epoch The current epoch of the ledger. eraStart The information regarding the beginning of the current ledger era. eraSummaries Era bounds and slot parameters details, required for proper slotting arithmetic. liveStakeDistribution Distribution of the stake across all known stake pools, relative to the total stake in the network. projectedRewards The projected rewards of an account in a context where the top stake pools are fully saturated. This projection gives, in principle, a ranking of stake pools that maximizes delegator rewards. protocolParameters The current protocol parameters. proposedProtocolParameters The last update proposal w.r.t. protocol parameters, if any. rewardAccountSummaries Current delegation settings and rewards of chosen reward accounts. rewardsProvenance Get details about rewards calculation for the ongoing epoch. stakePools The list of all pool identifiers currently registered and active. tip The current tip the ledger is at. Said differently, the slot number and header hash of the last block that has been processed by the ledger. utxo Current UTXO, possibly filtered by output reference.	↗️
Dual WebSocket/HTTP support	↗️
Structured JSON logging	↗️
Health monitoring, with runtime and application statistics	↗️

Note

Test vectors that cover every part of the protocol are available here. Use them without moderation for a smooth integration!
