Welcome to Rujira, the THORChain App Layer designed for building secure and sustainable decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. This section will help you understand the core concepts you'll need to get started building on Rujira.
Before getting started building on Rujira, make sure to familiarize yourself with:
: Being an App Layer on top of THORChain, it is key to understand how all assets on Rujira are secured by THORChain Base Layer.
: Key parts of Rujira and THORChain is built on the Cosmos tech stack, and the go-to smart contracting platform in the Cosmos ecosystem is CosmWasm. It allows developers to write secure, efficient contracts in languages like Rust.
Once you have a good understanding of above, you are ready to dive into the —everything from development to staging to auditing to mainnet—enabling you to deploy fast onto Rujira.
Besides above, Rujira is made up of multiple moving parts making up the entire App Layer
: A JavaScript SDK tailored for TypeScript-based backend interaction between applications and smart contracts on Rujira.
: A Rust library that contains the essential message types and structures for interacting with Rujira's core app-layer smart contracts. This SDK simplifies integration between core smart contracts and any dApps built on top of them.
: A collection of reusable UI components that also provide wallet integration, enabling quick and easy development of dApps with consistent user experiences.
