Frequently asked questions

What is Geth?

Geth (go-ethereum) is a Go implementation of Ethereum, which is a technology for building decentralized applications and organizations. Geth is a core part of Ethereum and has been one of the original Ethereum implementations, making it highly tested and reliable. It serves as an Ethereum execution client, handling transactions, deployment, and execution of smart contracts. Geth contains an embedded computer known as the Ethereum Virtual Machine. By running Geth alongside a consensus client, a computer can become an Ethereum node. Running your own Geth node allows you to use Ethereum in a private, self-sufficient, and trustless manner, as you can verify the data yourself using your Geth instance. The Geth team is funded exclusively by The Ethereum Foundation and welcomes contributions from the community.

What does Geth handle in Ethereum?

Geth (go-ethereum) is a Go implementation of Ethereum and it handles transactions, deployment and execution of smart contracts, and contains an embedded computer known as the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

How can I use Geth in a private and trustless manner?

To use Geth in a private and trustless manner, you can run your own node. Running your own node allows you to use Ethereum in a self-sufficient and private way, as you don't need to trust the information you receive. Instead, you can verify the data yourself using your Geth instance. By running your own node, you can ensure that the data you interact with is accurate and secure.

Can I contribute to the Geth source code?

Yes, you can contribute to the Geth source code. The Geth team welcomes contributions from anyone on the internet. To contribute, you can fork the GitHub repository, make the necessary fixes or changes, commit them, and then send a pull request for the maintainers to review and merge into the main code base. You can find more information and guidelines on contributing to Geth on the Ethereum.org website.

Who funds the Geth team?

The Geth team is funded exclusively by The Ethereum Foundation.

Are there resources available for getting started with Geth?

Yes, there are resources available for getting started with Geth. These resources include documentation, tutorials, and guides on various topics such as hardware requirements, installing Geth, consensus clients, node architecture, command-line options, security, account management, databases, backup and restore, connecting to peers, private networks, config files, mining, interacting with Geth through JSON-RPC server, and more. These resources can be found on the official go-ethereum website.

Where can I find answers to frequently asked questions about Geth?
