Get Started

Pick the path that fits you.

I want to build on Pyde →

You're a developer or technical founder. You want to write a contract, spin up a local devnet, deploy something, integrate with the chain. Start here for the toolchain, the host-function ABI, language-specific examples, and the local-devnet flow.

I want to use Pyde →

You're an end user. You want to hold PYDE, send transactions, run a node, or follow the project's mainnet path. Start here for the wallet story, post-quantum guarantees in plain English, what makes Pyde different from other L1s, and what's available pre-mainnet vs post-mainnet.

Not sure which path? If you're going to type cargo build at any point, take the developer track. If you only ever interact with Pyde through a wallet or a dApp, the user track is where you belong.

Both paths converge at the same set of canonical specs in the book — chapters 1–20 and the companion files — when you need to go deep on a specific topic.
