Develop

The Mithril network consists of three main components:

• Mithril aggregator:

This node coordinates the production of the Cardano snapshot archives, working alongside the Mithril signer and Cardano nodes to generate associated certificates using Mithril multi-signatures.

• Mithril signer:

This node produces individual signatures, which the Mithril aggregator combines into a multi-signature. It operates in conjunction with a Cardano node (run by an SPO) holding stake in the network.

• Mithril client:

This node verifies and restores a snapshot along with other types of data, facilitating lightning-fast bootstrapping of a Cardano full node.

📄️ Run a private network

In this guide, you will learn how to run a demonstration of a Mithril network working on top of a private Cardano devnet network. This network is completely autonomous and set up to produce Mithril snapshots every minute.

📄️ Protocol simulation

- This demo will improve your understanding of the Mithril protocol. By engaging with it, you will gain insights into how participants interact to create a multi-signature and understand the impact of the protocol parameters

📄️ API references

This page compiles the external developer documentation available for Mithril, intended exclusively for a technical audience.
