🧩 Clients Overview

This page lists the available client implementations for interacting with the Zaphenath smart contract. These clients offer different ways to integrate with the protocol, including command-line tools and UI components.

🦀 Rust CLI Client

The Rust CLI client allows developers, power users, and backend scripts to interact directly with the Zaphenath smart contract from the terminal.

To install globally, you must clone the repository and install using cargo:

git clone https://github.com/Astervia/zaphenath-cli-client.git
cd zaphenath-cli-client

▶️ Usage

Run zaph to see available commands:

zaph --help

Example:

zaph contract create-key \
  --key-id my-will \
  --data deadbeef \
  --timeout 3600 \
