## Welcom to dKargo: A Blockchain designed for Logistics

dKargo is an EVM-compatible Layer 3 blockchain built on Arbitrum (Layer 2). It enables all standard Ethereum functionalities, including contract deployment, web3.js integrations, and development with Hardhat, while offering lower transaction costs and faster execution.

This documentation provides comprehensive guidance on node setup, RPC endpoints, validators, bridging, staking, and contract deployment, as well as tools for testing and development within the dKargo ecosystem.
