2 min readSep 2, 2019

On Sep 2, 2019, Matrix AI Network has officially launched the Matrix Developer Portal. The platform provides developers with the tools and data needed to build apps. The official website is now live at: https://dev.matrix.io/.

The Matrix Developer Portal

At the first phase, the developer portal will provide an API with a feed of core transactional information enabling developers to build apps about the operations of the mainnet. At the second phase, additional tools will be provided to build apps that integrate smart contracts.

The Matrix developer portal already provides developers with an information feed to create applications that interface with the fundamental info of the Matrix main chain. The center will soon support development of applications that integrate our smart contracts.

Phase one

The Matrix developer portal offers an API for a direct information feed from the database of the Matrix blockchain mainnet.

Network: To build primary nodes embedded in the Matrix mainnet or testnet, as well as how to establish a private network. Developers can get full instructions on how to embed in the Matrix mainnet, testnet, or establish a private network.

Tools: Developers can utilize Javascript SKD or Java SDKs to quickly build applications.

API: There are three methods for pulling the blockchain data, using RPC, Javascript or Java APIs.

Data: This module explains how developers can connect with the Matrix open source database and table editor.

Phase two

The Matrix developer portal will continue to roll out smart contracts, examples of Dapps, Dapp platform transfer solutions, and FAQs. This forthcoming module will help developers build Dapps with smart contract integration.
