## What is Jovay?
Jovay is a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built by Ant Digital Technologies, designed for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. It uses a dual-prover architecture combining Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) for cross-verified security, achieving sub-second response times and throughput of up to 22,000 TPS.

## How do I get started with Jovay?
See the [Jovay API quickstart guide](/docs/reference/jovay-api-quickstart) to start building on Jovay.

## What is the Jovay API?
The Jovay API lets you interact with the Jovay mainnet. You can execute transactions, query onchain data, and interact with the Jovay network using the JSON-RPC standard.

## Is Jovay EVM compatible?
Yes, Jovay is EVM compatible.

## What API does Jovay use?
Jovay uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API enables blockchain interaction on the Jovay network, letting you read block and transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data onchain.

## What methods are supported on Jovay?
Jovay supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Some chain-specific methods may vary. Check the Jovay API endpoints documentation for a complete list.

## What is a Jovay API key?
When you access the Jovay network through a node provider like Alchemy, you use an API key to send transactions and retrieve data. We recommend you [sign up for a free API key](https://dashboard.alchemy.com/signup).

## Which libraries support Jovay?
Common Ethereum libraries like [ethers.js](https://docs.ethers.org/v5/) are compatible with Jovay, given its EVM nature.
