It wraps two compiled Rust dependencies (clvm_rs and chia_rs) to provide efficient, type-safe representations of blockchain primitives.\n\nThe package is primarily useful for developers building on or integrating with Chia, or for those working directly with Chia's contract and transaction layers. However, the project is dormant\u2014the last release was in March 2024 with no activity since\u2014which means bug fixes and compatibility updates are unlikely. Installation carries high friction due to its compiled dependencies, which may require a build toolchain.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively developing on Chia and need its base types\u2014the library is stable and permissively licensed. No, if you are evaluating Chia for the first time or need ongoing maintenance and support; the dormant status and high install friction make it a poor choice for new projects without strong Chia commitment. Verify that your target platform has pre-built wheels for the compiled dependencies before committing."},"id":"chia-base","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chia-base","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chia-base.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/chia-base/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-03-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"chia-base","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Common types and simple utilities used through chia code base"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":92816,"position":13423,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.7"}
