Ecosystem Applications
Applications use the XNDR Network REST API to present, query, and analyze indexed Blocks while keeping each result's scope visible.
Application Types
- Discovery Tools: Search Blocks and navigate declared parents and indexed children.
- Content Management: Track provenance, versions, and composed content with ALX Blocks.
- AI and Machine Learning: Record training data, model references, and content pipelines as Blocks with declared lineage.
- Enterprise Integrations: Add source-scoped Block records to supply-chain, compliance, and document-verification workflows.
- Research and Education: Study provenance, collaboration, and digital artifacts across a Block Graph.
- Developer Tooling: Build ALX Protocol libraries, CLIs, and infrastructure.
