Ignite CLI is the all-in-one platform to build, launch, and maintain any crypto application on a sovereign and secured blockchain. It is a developer-friendly interface to the Cosmos SDK, the world's most widely-used blockchain application framework. Ignite CLI generates boilerplate code for you, so you can focus on writing business logic.
Open Ignite CLI in your web browser (or open nightly version), or install the latest release.
To create and start a blockchain:
ignite scaffold chain mars
cd mars
ignite chain serveTo learn how to use Ignite CLI, check out the Ignite CLI docs. To learn more about how to build blockchain apps with Ignite CLI, see the Ignite CLI Developer Tutorials.
To install Ignite CLI locally on GNU, Linux, or macOS, see Install Ignite CLI.
To learn more about building a JavaScript frontend for your Cosmos SDK blockchain, see ignite-hq/web.
For questions and support, join the official Ignite Discord server. The issue list in this repo is exclusively for bug reports and feature requests.
Blockchains created with Ignite CLI use the Cosmos SDK framework. To ensure the best possible experience, use the version of Ignite CLI that corresponds to the version of Cosmos SDK that your blockchain is built with. Unless noted otherwise, a row refers to a minor version and all associated patch versions.
