Discover Kadena, a hybrid blockchain for scalability and security. Build enterprise-grade decentralized applications using its RPC gateway.
The Kadena RPC documentation provides developers with a comprehensive guide to interact with the Kadena blockchain. Kadena is a scalable, hybrid blockchain that combines public and private blockchain solutions. It uses Chainweb, a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which allows multiple chains to work in parallel for increased scalability. The documentation includes API endpoints for querying blockchain data, managing transactions, and deploying smart contracts. Kadena’s design makes it ideal for enterprise-grade decentralized applications and scalable blockchain solutions.
