BUILD ON KRONEX
Build markets, applications and agents on Kronex.
Developers should be able to integrate Kronex infrastructure through open tools.
01 · TWO LAYERS
Two layers
One of them you can build on this afternoon. The other is being built.
- The chaintestnet
- A developer can deploy Solidity contracts, build and run a node, and call the JSON-RPC surface on the Kronex testnet today. Proof-of-work consensus, EVM execution and merged mining are running.
- The marketplaceIn development
- Programmable orders, resource markets, the privacy layer, escrow and the SDK are in development. None of it is callable yet, and this page marks every part of it.
02 · WHERE TO START
Where to start
Grouped by what runs. The five above the line work today.
Working todaytestnet
- Mining
- kHeavyHash direct, or merged from SHA256d, Scrypt, KawPoW and Equihash work. The working core of the chain.
- Start here
- The docs' own practical entry point.
- Run a node
- Build krnxd and join the testnet.
- Deploy contracts
- Hardhat or Foundry against the Ethereum JSON-RPC surface.
- RPC reference
- The full method surface, including 22 krnx_* methods.
- Start mining
- The mining guide, with node flags and the three work methods.
In developmentplanned
- AI agents & M2M
- The seven-step loop and what makes it autonomous.
- Use cases
- Nine applications and the phase each one waits on.
- Become a provider
- An interest registry ahead of the marketplace phase.
03 · THE CHAIN TODAY

What is running, and what a node exposes when you build it.

04 · THE INTEGRATION SURFACE
The integration surface
The same panel holds both layers, so the boundary between them is visible where developers actually look.
TESTNET · LIVE ENDPOINT · REAL CODE — PASTE IT INTO A TERMINAL
# current block height — paste this into a terminal
curl -X POST https://rpc.kronex.network \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[]}'
# a Kronex-specific method — 22 krnx_* methods are documented
curl -X POST https://rpc.kronex.network \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"krnx_getDifficulty","params":[]}'SDK — PLANNED · API SHAPE ILLUSTRATIVE
// no SDK required today — this is the Ethereum JSON-RPC surface
const rpc = "https://rpc.kronex.network";
const height = await fetch(rpc, { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ jsonrpc: "2.0", id: 1, method: "eth_blockNumber", params: [] }) });
// planned — the order primitive does not exist on chain yet
const order = await kronex.orders.create({ resource: "ai-inference", quantity: 1_000_000, maxPrice: "12.00 USDT" });Related
