Tutorials

Welcome to the Paladin tutorials! These tutorials provide a comprehensive introduction to running Paladin, starting with basic concepts and progressing to advanced privacy-preserving applications.

Prerequisites

⚠️ To ensure you are using a stable version, always clone the most recent release tag:

REPO=https://github.com/LF-Decentralized-Trust-labs/paladin.git
TAG=$(git ls-remote --tags $REPO | cut -d/ -f3 | grep -v '\-rc' | sort -V | tail -n1)
git clone $REPO -b $TAG

Next Steps

The tutorials on this page provide an introduction to building on the Paladin platform. If you haven't already, visit the Getting Started guide to familiarize yourself with running Paladin before proceeding with any of the tutorials below.
