Build on æternity
If you can imagine it,
you can build it on
æternity
Access the list of learning materials curated specifically to ease your developer journey into the æcosystem.
Æ getting started
Fundamentals
The cornerstones of your application building process.
Consensus
Learn about æternity blockchain’s consensus mechanism to understand concepts like Gas fees and Transaction time that directly aid in developing applications with higher user experience rating.
FATE VM
The Fast Æternity Transaction Engine is a new paradigm in blockchain Virtual Machine specifications that enable type-safe and efficient implementations of applications, handling all the computations within the æternity blockchain.
ÆNS
æternity Naming System simplifies references of blockchain-native entities running on the æternity blockchain from user-unfriendly public keys and hashes to human-meaningful names.
TestNet
Deploy your applications onto an independent public test network to develop, test and service your contract codes and interfaces before launching.
MainNet
The Primary network of the æternity blockchain, where launch-ready product and service applications are deployed and transactions involving an actual monetary transfer of value take place.
Faucet
To start development you will need AE coins. Here you can get them for free for the æternity testnet. Testnet AE coins are useful for development but worthless.
Governance
Use the Governance æpp to actively take part in the decision making process for conducting changes in the æternity protocol. Cast your vote on polls and create new ones that reflect your ideas and vision. Every miner, coin holder and developer on the æternity blockchain has the right to vote and participate via the user-friendly, mobile æpp
Advanced
Unlock the potential to build truly powerful and infinitely scalable applications on the æternity blockchain.
Oracles
Realize the power of Oracles that connect the æternity blockchain with off-chain, real world information enabling this data to be utilized within smart contracts and integrated seamlessly into your applications
Generalized accounts
Improve your wallets functionalities by building upon the plain old account (poa), integrated with a range of new integrity driven features.
State channels
Build applications by integrating state channels and exponentially reduce cost of transactions while maximizing extremely high amounts of throughput for smart contract transactions.
Hyperchains
Read through æternity blockchain’s planned upgrade to Hyperchains in the latest published whitepaper. Understand the hybrid PoW-PoS model and the roles of the parent and child chain. Hyperchains Whitepaper
