It interprets and executes Chialisp programs that define conditions for spending cryptocurrency\u2014essentially a runtime for writing contracts that encumber and release funds based on cryptographic proofs and other conditions.\n\nThe package is in active development (Alpha status) and maintained by the Chia Network team. It depends on chia_rs for performance-critical operations and uses standard library compatibility shims (importlib_metadata, typing-extensions) for broad Python version support. It's positioned as a developer tool for blockchain engineers building on Chia, not a general-purpose language runtime.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing on the Chia blockchain or need to execute Chialisp contracts in Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs cleanly. However, it is in Alpha status, so expect API changes and verify production readiness for your use case before committing to it in critical systems."},"id":"clvm","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clvm","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/clvm.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/clvm/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"clvm","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"[Contract Language | Chialisp] Virtual Machine"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":124789,"position":11852,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.15"}
