chialisp-puzzles
Some canonical puzzles deployed on chia-blockchain
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are actively developing on the Chia blockchain and need access to standard puzzle definitions—but with caution. The package is dormant and its single runtime dependency (chialisp_loader) may not be maintained. Verify that chialisp_loader is compatible with your environment and that the puzzles match your network's current deployment. No known vulnerabilities, but lack of recent maintenance in a fast-moving blockchain ecosystem is a risk.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires chialisp_loader as a runtime dependency; ensure it is installed and compatible with your environment.
- High install friction due to a single runtime dependency (chialisp_loader) and use of enscons for building rather than setuptools, which may complicate installation on some systems.
- Package is dormant with no recent maintenance signal.

What it is and what it does
chialisp_puzzles is a library that bundles standard and legacy puzzle programs used on the Chia blockchain. Puzzles are programs written in ChiaLisp (Chia's domain-specific language) that define transaction logic and smart contract behavior on the network. The package provides a simple loader function to retrieve these puzzles by name, abstracting away file management and source discovery.
The package depends on chialisp_loader for runtime functionality and uses enscons (rather than setuptools) to carefully control which source files are included in distribution archives. This is a specialized tool for Chia developers working with blockchain puzzles; it is not a general-purpose library. With dormant maintenance status, it may not track recent Chia network changes or security updates.
Use it for
- Retrieve standard Chia puzzles (like delegated or hidden puzzle variants) for use in transaction construction on the Chia blockchain.
- Integrate canonical puzzle definitions into Chia wallet or node software without maintaining separate puzzle source files.
- Reference legacy puzzle implementations for compatibility testing or historical Chia transaction analysis.
- Build ChiaLisp-based applications that need access to well-known puzzle templates deployed on the network.
