Spawn

Spawn is the easiest way to build, maintain and scale a Cosmos SDK blockchain. Spawn solves all the key pain points engineers face when building new Cosmos-SDK networks.

• Tailor-fit: Pick and choose modules to create a network for your needs.
• Commonality: Use native Cosmos tools and standards you're already familiar with.
• Integrations: Github actions and end-to-end testing are configured right from the start.
• Iteration: Quickly test between your new chain and established networks like the local Cosmos-Hub devnet.

Spawn in Action

In this 4 minute demo we:

• Create a new chain, customizing the modules and genesis
• Create a new nameservice module
  • Add the new message structure for transactions and queries
  • Store the new data types
  • Add the application logic
  • Connect it to the command line
• Build and launch a chain locally
• Interact with the chain's nameservice logic, settings a name, and retrieving it
