Clients

While the hydra-node tracks the main chain for opening/closing heads and connects to other nodes to form an overlay network, it also offers a client API to use and administrate the Hydra head. This API can be used directly by applications integrating with Hydra through SDKs, or via third-party components.

Client applications

• hydra-tui: Example client offering a terminal user interface (TUI) that can be used to adminstrate heads and submit simple payment transactions
• kupo: Lightweight indexer that directly supports connecting to a hydra-node

Client libraries

• meshjs: Provider for the meshjs SDK which supports the full Head life-cycle
• blaze: Experimental provider for the blaze SDK
