Developer Quickstart

Start building on Nillion. The quickstart walks you through

1. Installing the Nillion SDK
2. Setting up a developer environment
3. Running and connecting to nillion-devnet, a local Nillion network
4. Writing your first Nada program, tiny_secret_addition.py
5. Connecting to the network with the NillionClient to store programs, store secrets, and compute on programs with stored secrets.

Choose your path: Python or JavaScript

The Python Quickstart uses nillion-python-starter to connect to your local Nillion network with the Nillion Python Client. This quickstart is ideal for developers interested in connecting backends to Nillion.

The JavaScript Quickstart uses scaffold-nillion, a NextJS starter repo, to connect to your local Nillion network with the Nillion JavaScript Client. This quickstart is ideal for developers interested in creating frontends or web apps on Nillion.
