Pantheon is an open-source Ethereum client developed under the Apache 2.0 license and written in Java. It runs on the Ethereum public network, private networks, and test networks such as Rinkeby, Ropsten, and Görli. Pantheon implements Proof of Work (Ethash) and Proof of Authority (IBFT 2.0 and Clique) consensus mechanisms. You can use Pantheon to develop enterprise applications requiring secure, high-performance transaction processing in a private network. Pantheon includes a command line interface and JSON-RPC API for running, maintaining, debugging, and monitoring nodes in an Ethereum network. You can use the API via RPC over HTTP or via WebSockets, and Pub/Sub is supported. The API supports typical Ethereum functionalities such as: - Ether mining - Smart contract development - Decentralized application (Dapp) development
