Politeia is a system for storing off-chain data that is both versioned and

timestamped, essentially “git, a popular revision control system, plus

timestamping”. Instead of attempting to store all the data related to Decred’s

governance on-chain, we have opted to create an off-chain store of data that is

anchored into Decred’s blockchain, minimizing its on-chain footprint.

The politeia stack is as follows:

Core software:

* politeiad - Reference server daemon. Data layer.

* politeiawww - Web backend server; depends on politeiad. User layer.

**The [politeiawww APIs](https://github.com/decred/politeia/tree/master/politeiawww/api/)

and [politeiawww client](https://github.com/decred/politeia/tree/master/politeiawww/client)

can be treated as stable. All other APIs and libraries should be treated as

unstable and subject to breaking changes.**

See the politeiad [README](https://github.com/decred/politeia/tree/master/politeiad#politeiad) for instructions on building and running politeiad.
