|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| **Type** | Developer-Facing API |
| **Database** | ~2TB, growing ~60GB/month |
| **Transition** | Community RFP (Feb 2026) |
| **Target SLA** | 99.9% uptime, <1s query latency |

## Overview

The **Radix [Gateway API](https://docs.radixdlt.com/docs/network-gateway)** 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 (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](https://dashboard.radixdlt.com).
