Introduction to the IXO Spatial Web Platform

The IXO Spatial Web Platform 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.

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

Core Components of the IXO Spatial Web Platform

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 Platform 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

The Spatial Web supports developers with tools and environments that facilitate application creation, testing, and deployment:

  • 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.

Key Features

The IXO Spatial Web Platform is built to address critical challenges in verifiable data management, trust, and decentralisation:

  • Self-Sovereign Identity: Empower individuals and organisations to own and manage their identities.
  • Impact Verification: Report and verify claims about real-world social and environmental outcomes.
  • Blockchain Interoperability: Enable decentralised transactions and workflows across blockchain networks.
  • AI-Powered Applications: Integrate AI tools to automate workflows and enhance decision-making processes.

Building Applications on the IXO Spatial Web Platform

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

  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.

  2. Leverage the IXO SDKs:

    • Integrate core functionalities such as DID management, wallets, and AI components.
    • Explore SDK documentation for examples and implementation details.

  3. Access APIs:

    • Use GraphQL, gRPC, and Matrix APIs to query blockchain data, manage identities, and store stateful data.

Use Cases

The IXO Spatial Web Platform enables innovative solutions across various sectors:

  • Social Impact Projects: Measure, report, and verify project outcomes using trusted data.
  • Governance Systems: Build tools for decentralised governance and community decision-making.
  • Decentralised Finance (DeFi): Create applications for staking, rewards, and peer-to-peer transactions.
  • AI-Enhanced Applications: Integrate AI-driven workflows for enhanced automation and insights.
  • Identity Solutions: Implement secure, self-sovereign digital identity systems.
