Radix Developer Resources

A curated hub of documentation, tooling, SDKs, and community resources for developers building on Radix. Whether you are writing your first Scrypto blueprint or running production infrastructure, start here — then dive into the focused guides under Getting Started, Scrypto, Transactions, Frontend, and Infrastructure.

✅ Quick Start

The fastest way to start building is the official Scrypto Starter repository, which ships with a pre-configured VS Code Dev Container so you do not have to install the Rust toolchain manually. The full step-by-step path lives in the Radix Documentation.

1. Download and install VS Code.

2. Install the Dev Containers extension from the Extensions sidebar, then follow the prompts to install Docker Desktop.

3. Clone the starter repository:

   git clone https://github.com/radixdlt/scrypto-starter.git

4. Open the folder in VS Code (File > Open Folder). When prompted, choose Reopen in Container — or run Dev Containers: Reopen in Container from the Command Palette (View > Command Palette).

5. Once the container loads, confirm the Radix Engine Simulator is ready:

   resim --help

6. Follow the Learning Step-by-Step course to build your first blueprint, component, and full-stack dApp.

🏁 Starter Pack

Essential resources to help you build and grow your application on Radix:

1. Learn Step by Step.

2. Deepen your understanding with the Radix Technical Documentation.

3. Get inspired by the Official Code Examples and Community Scrypto Examples.

4. Build and submit transactions with the RadixScan Manifest Builder or the Radix Billboard Manifest Builder.

5. Build a full-stack dApp with the Full-Stack dApp guide and the Radix dApp Toolkit.

6. Join the developer Telegram channel and the official Discord.

7. Apply for Radix Booster Grants.

📚 Documentation

• Radix Technical Documentation — the canonical docs site for the entire stack.

• Scrypto: Learning Step-by-Step — from first blueprint to full dApp.

• Radix Engine — the asset-oriented state machine that runs transactions.

• Radix dApp Toolkit — Connect Button, Wallet SDK, and Gateway SDK in one interface.

• ROLA (Radix Off-Ledger Auth) — prove wallet ownership for login.

• Radix Engine Toolkit — manifest construction, SBOR, and address derivation.

• Network APIs — Gateway, Core, and System API overview.

• Radix Wallet — wiki reference for the Babylon wallet.

🔌 APIs & Specs

• Gateway API Spec — read aggregated ledger state and submit transactions (mainnet Swagger).

• Core API Spec — full-node API for integrators and the /stream/transactions event stream.

• System API Spec — node operations and health.

📦 SDKs & Packages

• Radix dApp Toolkit — the recommended front-end integration library (Connect Button + SDKs).

• Gateway API SDK (npm) — typed JS/TS client for the Gateway.

• Core API SDK (npm) — typed JS/TS client for the Core API.

• ROLA (npm) — verify Radix Off-Ledger Auth signatures server-side.

• scrypto / scrypto-test / radix-engine — Rust crates on docs.rs.

• Radix Wallet Connector — browser extension that bridges dApps to the wallet.

🛠️ Community Tools & Explorers

As the Radix Foundation winds down, much developer infrastructure is now community-hosted. The following tools are actively maintained by the community:

• RadixScan Console — developer console and step-by-step Manifest Builder that sends transactions straight to your wallet (switches between Mainnet and Stokenet).

• RadixScan Dashboard — account, resource, and transaction explorer.

• RadixScan Agent Layer — keyless MCP server for AI agents to read the ledger and build, validate, and simulate manifests (non-custodial; signing happens in the wallet).

• GenkiPool Community Tools — wallet connection, batched transactions, and one-transaction staking/unstaking across multiple validators.

• ShardSpace — create and manage dApp definitions (Mainnet and Stokenet).

• Radix Billboard — visual transaction manifest builder.

🤖 Agentic & AI Development

Radix is being built into a settlement layer for the agentic economy — AI agents that read on-chain state, build transactions, and pay for services. See the dedicated guide: AI Agents & x402 Payments.

• x402 — the open HTTP-402 payment standard for AI agents and APIs; multi-chain implementation with Radix support in development.

• RadixScan Agent Layer — keyless MCP server for reading the ledger and building, validating, and simulating manifests (non-custodial).

• Awesome Radix MCP Servers — curated index of Radix MCP servers.

• Radix Context & Radix Skills — context files and installable skills that give coding agents Radix expertise.

• AI Agent Wallet — open-source natural-language wallet SDK for agents (DEX, lending, staking).

⿻ Scrypto Libraries

Open-source crates and libraries that extend Scrypto and the wider toolchain:

• scrypto-math — high-precision math (exp, ln, pow) for Scrypto.

• scrypto-avltree — an on-ledger AVL tree data structure.

• ice_rrc404v1 — an RRC-404 style hybrid token/NFT implementation.

• radix-web3.js — an Effect-native TypeScript toolkit; see the SBOR “ez mode” docs.

⚡ Hyperscale (Xi'an) Developer Resources

Hyperscale is the in-progress sharded execution layer for Radix's Xi'an release, built in Rust. It is the most active area of protocol development. See the wiki overview at hyperscale-rs.

• POLARIS — the leaderless BFT beacon-chain prototype repository.

• Web3 Modules: Hyperscale — community learning notes on the Hyperscale architecture.

• Learn-Hyperscale-rs — community guides and flowcharts for Rust and distributed systems with Hyperscale-RS.
