AvalancheGo
The official node software for the Avalanche network, implemented in Golang. It includes the networking stack, the Snow consensus engine, the virtual machines for the P-Chain (PlatformVM), X-Chain (AvalancheVM), and C-Chain (Coreth EVM), along with APIs for network interaction. Validators and node operators run AvalancheGo to participate in consensus, secure the network, and process transactions across all three primary chains.
