Scope note
This page is the public map for builders who want more than one isolated integration task. It collects the currently published resources for API integration, contract integration, contribution entry points, and docs-assisted development.Choose your builder entry path
| If you are trying to… | Start here | Then continue |
|---|---|---|
| integrate trading or market-data flows quickly | For Builders | API Reference, then the relevant signing, encryption, and lifecycle references |
| compose DerivaDEX into an app or protocol | How to Integrate DerivaDEX Liquidity into Your DApp | How to Build on Top of DerivaDEX Smart Contracts and Smart Contract Architecture and Upgrade Boundaries |
| learn by examples before designing your own stack | Tutorials | strategy, WebSocket, and ddx-python routes provide the current public example surface |
| contribute back to public code or docs | Open Source Contribution Paths | contribution routing is separate from integration routing |
What you can ship from the public surface today
| Builder need | Public asset |
|---|---|
| generated contract lookup | REST API and Realtime API |
| first end-to-end bot or feed flow | Building Your First Trading Bot, WebSocket Realtime Data Tutorial, and Getting Started with ddx-python |
| signing, encryption, and delegated automation | Request Signing Reference, Request Encryption Reference, and Session Key Reference |
| smart-contract and governance-linked reads | Smart Contract Addresses and Core Contract Reference and Smart Contract Facet, Selector, and Event Reference |
| AI-assisted docs lookup | Use DerivaDEX Docs with AI Tools and the public Mintlify MCP surface |
Build and integrate
| Goal | Start here | Why |
|---|---|---|
| choose the right DerivaDEX transport or contract family | For Builders | routes by integration type before you overfit to one stack |
| look up the current public API contracts | API Reference | generated REST and realtime contract surfaces live there |
| build application or protocol integrations | How to Integrate DerivaDEX Liquidity into Your DApp, How to Build on Top of DerivaDEX Smart Contracts, and How to Access Realtime Platform Data | these are the current public composability routes |
| learn by building examples first | Tutorials and the advanced strategy wave | public examples currently live as tutorials and how-to guides rather than as a separate SDK showcase |
Public developer references
| Topic | Public route |
|---|---|
| signing, encryption, and session delegation | Request Signing Reference, Request Encryption Reference, and Session Key Reference |
| lifecycle, errors, and reconciliation | Order and Account Event Reference, Error Reference, and How to Handle API Errors and Recovery |
| contract composition and governance-linked contract reads | Smart Contract Addresses and Core Contract Reference, Smart Contract Facet, Selector, and Event Reference, and Smart Contract Architecture and Upgrade Boundaries |
| Python-first builder path | Getting Started with ddx-python and ddx-python Library Reference |
What is public today versus not yet published
| Topic | Public posture |
|---|---|
| transport and contract docs | public and routed through the main docs surface |
| signing, encryption, session-key, lifecycle, and error semantics | public |
| tutorials and how-to guides as example surfaces | public |
| standalone official REST/realtime SDK portal | not published as a separate public docs surface |
| grants, bounty program, or broad contributor-program handbook | not yet published as a first-class docs route here |
Open source and contribution entry points
| Surface | Use it for |
|---|---|
| dexlabs/derivadex repository | main public codebase and merge-request context |
| DIPs repository | governance-linked design proposals and public architecture evolution |
| Community Resources | official public forum and support surfaces that sit next to contribution work |
| Open Source Contribution Paths | public routing for code, docs, and governance-linked contribution entry paths |
| Use DerivaDEX Docs with AI Tools | MCP and skill-discovery access for docs-assisted implementation work |
Current publication posture
| Topic | Public status |
|---|---|
| official public REST/realtime SDK bundle | not published as a standalone Mintlify SDK surface |
| public examples | published primarily as tutorials and how-to guides |
| contribution workflow handbook | public contribution routing now exists through Open Source Contribution Paths, but there is not yet a standalone contributor program handbook covering every repo surface |
| grants or bounty program | not currently published as a first-class public docs route here |
Recommended developer reading path
- Start with For Builders.
- Use API Reference plus the signing, encryption, and session-key references.
- Use the composability how-to guides when the integration crosses from one client into an application or protocol surface.
- Use Developer Ecosystem, Open Source Contribution Paths, and Community Resources when you need the broader public repo and governance surfaces.
