Client & API Tooling (CLI, REST, gRPC)

Interfaces & API Access

Cosmos-based chains expose their full functionality through three standard interfaces:

  1. Command-Line Interface (CLI) Used by power users, validators, and scripts to manage nodes, sign transactions, and automate tasks.

  2. REST Endpoints HTTP-based APIs for querying state and submitting transactions — easy to integrate into web apps and dashboards.

  3. gRPC Services High-performance RPC layer for structured, strongly typed access to chain data and functions — ideal for backend services and tooling.

Developer & Product Integration Benefits

  • Predictable Integration Standardized APIs make it easy for wallets, explorers, and third-party apps to support the chain without custom parsing or adapters.

  • Low Friction for Devs Developers can query balances, broadcast transactions, and subscribe to on-chain events using familiar tools and workflows.

  • Frontend Flexibility Lylo can plug into existing wallets or apps, allowing users to access AI-powered, cross-chain features through interfaces they already know.
