HORNET is a lightweight alternative to IOTA's fullnode software “IRI”. The main advantage is that it compiles to native code and does not need a Java Virtual Machine, which considerably decreases the amount of needed resources while significantly increasing the performance. This way, HORNET is easier to install and runs on low-end devices.
- Currently HORNET is only released for testing purposes. Don't use it for wallet transfers (except testing with small amounts).
- Please open a new issue if you detect an error or crash (or submit a PR if you have already fixed it).
- Feature requests will be deleted, because we cannot handle them at the moment.
- The issue section is not a support section, if you have questions about HORNET please post them in the
#hornetchannel (official iota discord server).
