Build apps

This section is for developers building applications with and on the Shinzo network. Whether you want to query live data with a signed request, create your own View, or build a local-first app with data pushed straight to it, pick a path below to get started.

Choose your path

Query a View

Send signed GraphQL queries to live Views on the testnet from a TypeScript app. No infrastructure required.

Create a View

Define the data your app needs, transform it with lenses, and deploy it with Viewkit or Shinzo Studio.

Build a local-first app

Embed the app-sdk in a Go app, subscribe to Views, and query attested data pushed straight to your app.
