A practical builder toolkit.
Choose a tool by the state you need to inspect. Keep chain configuration, client helpers, and operational evidence connected.
Connect and query
Use curl to inspect exact request envelopes, the JavaScript example for a minimal application client, and sigil-cli for the source-workspace command tree.
Inspect the right layer
RPC reports node and chain records. A wallet handles user custody and approval. A registry discovers assets. A transport moves bytes. None of these substitutes for the others.
Keep operations reproducible
Record the endpoint, returned chain ID, software version, request time, and response/error when investigating a problem. Use the incident checklists to collect evidence before changing node state.
Read the protocol with its boundaries.
Concise integration guides for the signed records, deterministic rules, and activation requirements behind Sigil.
Learn by inspecting the chain.
Three short paths through client connection, operational state, and transaction evidence. Each starts with a read and ends with a check you can explain.
