Scope note
This page maps the public contribution surfaces that exist today. It is for readers who already know they want to contribute and need to choose the right public path before opening work.Choose the right contribution path
| If you want to contribute to… | Start here | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Python client or builder tooling | How to Contribute to ddx-python | routes contribution work into the public client and devtools family |
| public Mintlify docs and route ownership | How to Contribute Public Documentation | keeps public docs changes aligned with route ownership and docs checks |
| broader application or protocol integration thinking | For Builders and Developer Ecosystem | contribution often starts from understanding the active public surfaces first |
| governance-linked design evolution | Community Resources, How to Submit a Governance Proposal, and the public DIPs repository | separates design and governance work from ordinary code contributions |
Public code and design surfaces
| Surface | Use it for |
|---|---|
| dexlabs/derivadex repository | code, merge requests, issue-linked implementation work |
| DIPs repository | mature public design proposals and governance-linked architecture evolution |
| Developer Ecosystem | builder-facing map of integrations, references, and repo entry points |
| Community Resources | official public forum and adjacent discussion surfaces |
Contribution boundary rules
| Topic | Current public posture |
|---|---|
