AXON Documentation
AXON is a settlement network that lets businesses route, settle, and reconcile cross‑border value on‑chain — wallets, milestone escrow, batch payouts (distributions), instant funding, and an audit‑ready ledger, behind one API.
This space is the single source of truth for how AXON is built, deployed, and used. It is organised into three guides:
| Guide | For | What's inside |
|---|---|---|
| 🏛 Architecture | Everyone technical | The end‑to‑end system map, components, data & on‑chain layers, key flows, and the security model. Start here. |
| 🛠 Developer Guide | Engineers on the team | Repository layout, every service and module, the data model, the smart contracts, coding conventions, local dev, and the full deployment runbook. Read this to understand what we built and change it safely. |
| 👤 User Guide | End users / customers | A plain‑language walkthrough of using AXON: account creation, identity verification, wallet, agreements, distributions, settlements, and instant funding. |
Pilot context. AXON currently runs as a testnet pilot on Base Sepolia. "Live" integrations are wired and functional in the pilot (mostly sandbox/testnet), not production money movement. Where that distinction matters, the docs call it out.
How to navigate
- New to the system? Read Architecture → Overview, then the flow diagrams.
