Before you choose
Requirements & limits
The project is publicly accessible on GitHub, is marked active, and is licensed under LGPL-3.0. It is oriented toward Linux, CLI and server environments.
- Whether your project needs an Ethereum execution client rather than a consumer-facing application.
- Whether a self-hosted, server-oriented deployment suits your infrastructure.
- Whether Go and the LGPL-3.0 license fit your engineering and distribution requirements.
- Whether your tooling needs to read or serve data through an Ethereum node.
