Guides

Task-shaped walkthroughs. Each states what you need before starting and what you should have at the end, and every command has been run against a real node before publishing.

Guide	What it gets you
What Yamale is	The ideas the rest of the documentation assumes. No commands.
Run a local chain	A single-node network on your machine, with the API open.
Set up a treasury	Shared funds with roles, spending limits and a vesting schedule.
What governance can and cannot change	The line between an ordinary parameter and an invariant, and how one is amended.
The key ceremony	The room, the paper and the 3-of-5 that ends up holding every seized asset.
Enrolling a country	A country's offices, their M-of-N accounts and the powers they hold inside their own borders.
Appointing a foundation administrator	The one account that can move a customer out from under the authority investigating them, and why only a governance vote can grant it.
Netting and settlement	What the chain settles between institutions, and what to do when a window does not clear.
Threshold accounts	A consumer key that exists in three shares and nowhere else, and the password reset that does not move the address.
The custodian	The service holding the operator's share — what it refuses, and the longer list of what it does not do.
Accounts without a wallet	The design the two above were built from, and the parts of it that are still only a design.
Upgrading a running chain	Agreeing a height, swapping the binary while it is halted, and proving the nodes still agree afterwards.
