Klever Go

Klever Go is the official Go implementation of the Klever blockchain protocol. It contains the core node, KVM for executing WebAssembly smart contracts, command-line tools, and protocol-level applications for KDA, staking, governance and a marketplace.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Klever Go when you need the protocol implementation to build node software, operate a Klever node, or work with its smart-contract and command-line capabilities.

Who it is for

  • Operators building and configuring Klever validator or seed nodes.
  • Developers working with Klever smart contracts and protocol-level applications.
  • People building command-line workflows for Klever accounts, KDA assets or validators.

Documented uses

  • Build binaries for node operation and blockchain-related CLI tasks.
  • Run a validator node or a seed node for network discovery.
  • Execute WebAssembly smart contracts through KVM.
  • Generate validator and wallet keys.
  • Use operator CLI commands for accounts, KDA assets and validators.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and displays a GPL-3.0 license. Building from source requires Go 1.25 or higher, Git and Make.

  • A consensus-participating validator requires a registered, staked public key; without that, it syncs as an observer.
  • The repository provides separate validator and seed-node binaries, serving different network roles.
  • Node configuration covers networking, storage, API endpoints and smart-contract gas costs.
  • The listed build prerequisites distinguish ordinary builds from development and API-documentation work: protoc and Swag are specified for those additional purposes.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Build the Klever Go binaries from source

Prepare the repository and build its command-line and node components.

Before you start

  • Go 1.25 or higher
  • Git
  • Make

Steps

  1. Clone https://github.com/klever-io/klever-go.git.

  2. Change into the klever-go directory.

  3. Run make prepare.

  4. Run make build to build the binaries.

Expected outcome

The README says this builds binaries in the cmd directories; its component list includes validator, operator, seednode, keygenerator and connector.

Guide limitations

  • This guide covers building only; it does not configure or start a node.
  • A validator participates in consensus only when its public key is registered and staked; otherwise it syncs as an observer.
