ZIGChain Chain Information

TL;DR: Official mainnet and testnet links for ZIGChain—network folders, RPC/API/gRPC nodes, seeds, peers, genesis, snapshots, addrbook, and the testnet faucet.

Overview​

This page lists links for connecting to ZIGChain on mainnet and testnet: official network data, the testnet faucet, snapshots, and related downloads. Use them for development and integration; for production, prefer your own full node or infrastructure you trust.

Key Concepts​

  • Network folder: GitHub directory with chain ID, genesis, node lists, and version files for one network.
  • RPC node: Tendermint RPC endpoint for blocks and transactions.
  • API (LCD) node: REST layer for Cosmos SDK queries.
  • gRPC node: Binary gRPC interface for tooling and services.
  • Snapshot: Compressed chain state download for faster node sync.
  • Addrbook: Peer address list for node discovery.
  • Genesis file: Initial chain state at launch.
  • Seed node: Peer discovery entry point; persistent peers maintain longer-lived connections.
  • Binaries folder: Shared zigchaind release archives and SHA-256 checksums, grouped by version under binaries/.

Release binaries are shared at the repo root under binaries/, grouped by version folder (v4.x, v5.0.0, and so on). Use version.txt from the network folder to pick the matching build.
