## Overview

The **Radix [Gateway API](https://docs.radixdlt.com/docs/gateway-api)** is the primary developer interface for building dApps on Radix. It indexes the ledger and provides REST endpoints for querying account states, token balances, transaction history, and resource metadata.

### Decentralization

Currently operated by the [Radix Foundation](/ecosystem/radix-foundation), the [Gateway API](https://docs.radixdlt.com/docs/gateway-sdk) is undergoing [community transition via RFP](/ideas/gateway-service-rfp) (opened February 2026). The database is approximately 2TB with ~60GB monthly growth. Successful operators must guarantee 99.9% uptime and sub-second query latency for the [Radix Wallet](/contents/tech/core-protocols/radix-wallet) and [Dashboard](/ecosystem/radix-dashboard).
