Repository Overview

Dash Platform uses a monorepo structure containing most of the source code that powers the network, SDKs, and development tooling. The public source tree is available in the dashpay/platform repository.

If you want a higher-level architectural walkthrough of the current Rust codebase, see the Dash Platform Book.

SDKs

These are the primary tools for developers building on Dash Platform. Package names and exact module layout can change over time, so treat the monorepo as the source of truth.

Component	Description
js-evo-sdk	JavaScript tooling for connecting to Platform, creating identities, and submitting state transitions
rs-sdk	Rust-first SDK for building applications and verifying Platform data
dash-platform-queries	Transport-free query building and proof verification shared by rs-sdk and other SDK embedders
rs-sdk-ffi / swift-sdk / kotlin-sdk	Shared components used for Swift, Kotlin (Android), and other native integrations
wasm-sdk	WebAssembly-oriented bindings for browser and hybrid environments

The Evo SDK site hosts developer-facing tooling for the JavaScript SDK: an interactive playground that runs read-only queries in the browser against testnet, SDK documentation, and an AI reference.

Platform and Supporting Repositories

These run on the network and process data.

Component	Description
rs-dapi	Decentralized API (DAPI) server
dapi	Legacy JavaScript DAPI implementation, replaced by rs-dapi
rs-drive	Drive query and indexing layer over GroveDB
rs-dpp	Dash Platform Protocol (data contracts, documents, state transitions, identities)
dashmate	Node management and local development tool
rs-tenderdash-abci	Tenderdash ABCI application
grovedb	Hierarchical authenticated data structure
tenderdash	Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus engine
rust-dashcore	Rust implementation of Dash Core primitives

Contracts

Built-in data contracts used by the network.

Component	Description
dashpay-contract	DashPay contract documents JSON Schema
dpns-contract	DPNS contract documents JSON Schema
app-connect-contract	Wallet’s encrypted response to an app login request
document-history-contract	Transfer, purchase, and price-change history for documents that opt in
keyword-search-contract	Keyword search for data contracts and tokens
masternode-reward-shares-contract	Masternode reward sharing
moderation-charters-contract	Charters of elected moderation teams
token-history-contract	Token history records (mints, burns, transfers, and other token events)
wallet-utils-contract	Wallet utilities such as encrypted transaction metadata
withdrawals-contract	Tracking of withdrawals from Platform to Dash Core
