This repository is an umbrella repository with git sub-module references to all of the components of cpp-ethereum, the Ethereum C++ client. The project was initiated by Gavin Wood, the former CTO of the Ethereum Foundation, in December 2013. It is the second most popular of the clients, trailing a long way behind the dominant geth client, also built by the Ethereum Foundation.
