It can be used as a lightweight bootstrap node to aid in finding peers in private networks.ĭeveloper utility version of the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) that is capable of running bytecode snippets within a configurable environment and execution mode. Stripped down version of our Ethereum client implementation that only takes part in the network node discovery protocol, but does not run any of the higher level application protocols. Please see our Native DApps page for details. However, it also accepts Solidity source files, making development much more streamlined. It operates on plain Ethereum contract ABIs with expanded functionality if the contract bytecode is also available.
Source code generator to convert Ethereum contract definitions into easy to use, compile-time type-safe Go packages. Utilities to interact with nodes on the networking layer, without running a full blockchain. Stand-alone signing tool, which can be used as a backend signer for geth. geth -help and the CLI page for command line options. It can be used by other processes as a gateway into the Ethereum network via JSON RPC endpoints exposed on top of HTTP, WebSocket and/or IPC transports.
It is the entry point into the Ethereum network (main-, test- or private net), capable of running as a full node (default), archive node (retaining all historical state) or a light node (retrieving data live). The go-ethereum project comes with several wrappers/executables found in the cmd
