GoTRON SDK

GoTRON SDK is a comprehensive Go SDK and CLI tool for interacting with the TRON blockchain. It provides both a command-line interface (tronctl
) and Go libraries for TRON blockchain operations.
Features
- π§ Complete CLI Tool: Manage accounts, send transactions, interact with smart contracts
- π Go SDK: Build TRON applications with a clean, idiomatic Go API
- π Secure Key Management: Hardware wallet support, encrypted keystores
- π High Performance: Native gRPC communication with TRON nodes
- π οΈ Developer Friendly: Comprehensive examples and documentation
