# Cardano Client Bindings

> Cardano Client Lib (CCL) compiled to a native shared library (libccl) with a C ABI,
> plus four first-class language wrappers — Python, Go, Rust, and JavaScript (Bun) —
> for fully offline Cardano key derivation, address handling, transaction building
> (TxPlan YAML), signing, Plutus data, and governance operations. No JVM at runtime.
