Shinzo is a trustless network for reading blockchain data: it takes raw on-chain data and turns it into structured, verifiable datasets that any application can query. Whether you want to understand how the network works, build an app on it, or run its infrastructure, pick a path below to get started.

Understand Shinzo

New here? Learn what the Shinzo network is, why it exists, and how it works end to end.

Build apps

Query live Views with signed GraphQL requests, create your own Views, or build a local-first app with verifiable data reads.

Run infrastructure

Run a Generator client beside a blockchain node you already operate, serve Views with a Host client, or try both on one machine.
