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.
