XNDR Network

XNDR Network is an ecosystem of applications for creating, exploring, and using onchain ALX Blocks.

Network Capabilities

Capability	Purpose
Discovery	Find indexed Blocks by exact blockHash or contentHash.
Indexing	Store canonical Block facts and source-scoped observations for retrieval.
Relationship Resolution	Resolve declared parent references and discover reverse child relationships within the selected scope.
Query Access	Retrieve indexed Blocks, observations, and relationships through the REST API.
Exploration	Search and navigate indexed Block Graphs through the Block Explorer.

Block Graphs

A Block Graph connects indexed Blocks through declared parent relationships. Each response combines canonical Block facts, source observations, and the response’s scope, revision, and completeness.

Declared parents are canonical facts; indexed children are observations within the selected scope. The Indexing Model describes how each scope records them.

ALX Protocol

ALX Protocol defines each Block’s canonical structure, deterministic identity, and declared parent relationships. The Block Explorer indexes conforming Blocks without changing those facts, then reports availability, relationship resolution, and coverage as observations and query context.

Scope and Verification

Block Explorer and REST API results identify the selected scope and report verification facets. The selected scope names the configured inputs that the index observed; verification and completeness describe checks, coverage, and request limits within that boundary.

Canonical identity and declared lineage establish protocol-level structure. XNDR Network does not evaluate authorship, ownership, intellectual-property rights, content accuracy, safety, legality, quality, or semantic meaning. Applications and external systems that use the index make those evaluations.

Explore and Integrate

Block Explorer

The Block Explorer is the application that indexes and displays qualifying ALX Blocks. Search indexed Blocks, inspect canonical identifiers and verification context, trace declared lineage, and navigate observed relationships.

Block Explorer

Developer API

Build integrations using read-only access to source-scoped Block records, observations, relationships, and bounded graph queries.
