Cedra is the first community-owned blockchain built on the Move language that lets anyone spin up and govern their own sovereign networks. Designed as a public good, Cedra fuses protocol development, funding, and growth into open collaboration among core contributors, a non-profit foundation, and a worldwide guild of builders.

This main repository contains the core components of the Cedra Network ecosystem, including the CLI tools, node, and various modules that power the network.
