# Welcome Developers!
# Introduction to the IXO Spatial Web

Welcome to the IXO Spatial Web developer documentation — your gateway to creating the future of decentralised, impact-driven applications. Whether you're building innovative projects or solving wicked problems, our infrastructure is here to help you bring your ideas to life.
The **IXO Spatial Web** is a decentralised technology ecosystem that connects blockchain, identity management, smart contracts, and conversational AI to enable trusted and verifiable interactions across social, environmental, and economic domains. It serves as a robust foundation for building decentralised applications (dApps) and solutions that can measure, manage, and report on real-world impacts.

## Why the IXO Spatial Web?
This introduction provides a comprehensive overview of everything included in the IXO Spatial Web, highlighting its core components, tools, SDKs, APIs, and resources.

The IXO Spatial Web is more than just a full-stack solution — it's a platform that empowers you to create, measure, and manage decentralised solutions for digital finance, outcome tracking, and community infrastructure. Here's what makes it special:
---

## Core Components of the IXO Spatial Web

The Spatial Web is composed of several decentralised technologies that enable developers and organisations to create applications that interact with real-world data, entities, and verifiable digital assets.

### 1. IXO Blockchain
The IXO Blockchain serves as the foundational Layer-1 appchain of the Spatial Web, enabling:
- **Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs)**: Secure identity creation and management.
- **Verifiable Credentials (VCs)**: Cryptographically signed and trusted data.
- **Smart Contracts**: Automate decentralised workflows and transactions.
- **Governance**: On-chain governance tools for decentralised decision-making.

### 2. Identity and Verifiable Data
The Spatial Web utilises **Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs)** and **Verifiable Credentials (VCs)** to enable trust in digital interactions. Entities, projects, and individuals can establish self-sovereign identities and interact securely with verified information.

- **DID Provider X SDK**: Simplifies the creation and management of DIDs on the IXO blockchain.
- **Matrix State Bot**: Manages decentralised storage of identity-related state and ACL (Access Control List) data.

### 3. APIs and Gateways
The Spatial Web provides a suite of APIs to interact with blockchain data, identity systems, and decentralised storage:
- **IXO Blocksync GraphQL API**: Retrieve and query blockchain data in a developer-friendly manner.
- **gRPC Gateway API**: REST-based interface for accessing gRPC blockchain services.
- **Matrix State Bot API**: Manage identity states and ACLs in Matrix rooms.

### 4. SDKs and Tools
The IXO Spatial Web offers modular SDKs to accelerate development and integration:
- **IXO Spatial Web Multiclient SDK**: Core SDK for interacting with the IXO blockchain.
- **SignX SDK**: Enables secure multi-transaction signing and mobile-to-web authentication.
- **Matrix Client SDK**: Tools for interacting with the Matrix communication network.
- **Oracles UI SDK**: Dynamic UI components for integrating AI-driven tools and workflows.
- **JAMBO Wallet SDK**: Integrates blockchain wallet functionality for web and mobile.

These SDKs are designed to work together, enabling developers to build scalable, user-friendly decentralised applications.

## Development Tools and Environments

- **Decentralised Infrastructure Management**: Tokenise and manage decentralised IoT devices and physical assets with ease.
- **Digital Identity & Credential Management**: Issue secure digital identities and verifiable credentials, ensuring user privacy and trust.
- **Payments & Tokenised Assets**: Integrate payment processing, manage tokenised assets, and offer a seamless financial experience.
- **Outcome Measurement & Verification (dMRV)**: Digitally measure and verify the impact of your projects, making transparency and accountability easy.
- **AI-Enabled Services**: Use AI to automate decisions, generate actionable insights, and enhance your app's value.
- **Tokenisation of Impact**: Register and manage outcomes as tokenised, verifiable units to ensure traceability for all stakeholders.
The Spatial Web supports developers with tools and environments that facilitate application creation, testing, and deployment:

## Let's Build Something Awesome
- **Testnets and Devnets**: Access dedicated testing environments for experimentation.
- **IXO dAppStore on Opera**: A decentralised marketplace to host and access dApps within the Spatial Web.

## Building Applications on the IXO Spatial Web

## Documentation Structure
Developers and organisations can use the Spatial Web to build dApps that deliver trusted outcomes. Key steps include:

Our docs are structured to get you from zero to production as smoothly as possible:
1. **Set Up Your Development Environment**:
- Use the provided SDKs to interact with the IXO blockchain and APIs.
- Access testing environments (Testnet, Devnet) for experimentation.

- **API Reference**: All the endpoints, parameters, and examples you need to call our services.
- **SDKs**: Plug-and-play resources to help you build using your favorite languages and frameworks.
- **Implementation Guides**: Specific examples to demonstrate how to use the API and SDKs to create working software.
2. **Leverage the IXO SDKs**:
- Integrate core functionalities such as DID management, wallets, and AI components.
- Explore SDK documentation for examples and implementation details.

## Platforms Implementing IXO Spatial Web
3. **Access APIs**:
- Use GraphQL, gRPC, and Matrix APIs to query blockchain data, manage identities, and store stateful data.

Have a look at the Platforms section for successful implementations of the IXO Spatial Web infrastructure. The [Emerging platform](Platforms/Emerging/Welcome.md) is currently our flagship partnership with SupaMoto in Zambia.
