For developers

Build on Lineage

Lineage is a Layer-1 where market policy itself is programmable. The network performs bounded search over policy space and verifies results cryptographically, so the mechanisms governing markets can evolve without changing the chain. Everything is open: evaluate the protocol against the whitepaper, clone the repos, and prototype.
Connect to the network

Endpoints & network status

Everything you need to point a client at Lineage, in one place: the base URLs by node class, the current network status, and how to stand up your own stack.

Network statusA managed public testnet is live at the base URLs below — the figures above read straight from it. A public mainnet will be announced here. You can also run your own mempool / storage / miner stack locally; the route names and JSON contracts are identical either way.
  • Mempoolhttps://mempool.lineage.toTransactions, balances, supply, and mempool metadata.
  • Storagehttps://storage.lineage.toFull blockchain history and block reads.
  • Minerhttps://miner.lineage.toWallet, payments, and the current mining block.

Three ways in

Pick the path that fits: learn the concepts, look up an endpoint, or pull in a client library and start sending transactions.

Guides

Documentation

Concepts, running a node, the quickstart, and SDK tutorials: the path from zero to your first transaction.

Reference

API reference

Every /v1 endpoint, grouped by the node that serves it, with parameters, request and response shapes, and examples.

New to the project? Read Lineage: The Living Economy for the full specification, or browse every repository on GitHub.

Building against the network? Pull test LNGX from the developer faucet — one claim per address, no card required.

Client libraries

Official SDKs

Every SDK shares the same wire format — keys and signatures are byte-for-byte compatible, so a wallet created in one works in all of them. Each is published to its language’s package registry.

Building an AI agent? A hosted Model Context Protocol server exposes balances, transactions, keypair and seed generation, block and transaction lookups, supply, and node health as tools. And the lineage AI Skills plugin makes Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, opencode, and more expert in building on Lineage.

Have questions?

Where conversations live

Specification and research questions live in the Fremen Forum (hosted on Discourse). Implementation questions belong in the repo issue trackers on GitHub.

Fremen Forum

Specification and research discussion for the protocol and its mechanisms.

Issue trackers

Implementation questions, bugs, and contributions on the open repositories.

Discord

Real-time chat with the community and the team for build questions and quick help.
