System layers
Identity and trust
Identity and trust
Domains use Decentralized Identifier (DID) records, verification methods, and delegated rights to establish who can act and what they can do.
Coordination and execution
Coordination and execution
IXO Protocol modules and workflows coordinate requests, offers, claims, and value transfer across participants.
Data and communication
Data and communication
IXO Matrix provides encrypted rooms, messaging, and shared state channels for applications and operators.
Intelligence and automation
Intelligence and automation
Agentic Oracles add automated evaluation and decision support to domain and claim workflows.
How concepts map to docs
Architecture articles
Use conceptual pages to understand components and relationships.
Developer guides
Use guides for implementation workflows and operational steps.
SDK references
Use SDK pages for package-specific setup and usage.
API reference
Use API docs for exact request, response, and parameter details.
