Pax Developer Documentation

Introduction

Welcome to the Pax Developer Docs!

Pax is an education-focused, high-performance Layer 1 blockchain built for transparency, accessibility, and security -- It enables a new era of on-chain applications, starting with EQP (Examination and Question Leaks Protection Protocol) to solve problems like credentials leaks and (Decentralised Certificate Engine) for fake certifications, while offering the tools needed to build scalable and secure decentralized applications.

This documentation serves as an early guide for developers preparing to build on Pax.

Current Development Status

Pax is currently in its early development stage. We're actively working on:

  • Consensus Mechanism: Hybrid Proof of Stake (PoS) + Proof of History (PoH).

  • Smart Contract Platform: Enabling dApp development using Rust and Anchor.

  • Tokenomics & Governance: Structuring sustainable and transparent economic models.

  • PaxSwap (DEX): Native decentralized exchange with liquidity provisioning and bridging.

  • PaxView(Explorer): Blockchain explorer for transparency and user access.

  • PaxWallet: Native wallet to store, send, and receive the $PAX token, also used to store Decentralised Identity.

  • EQP Protocol: The Examination and Question Leaks Protection (EQP) Protocol is a smart contract designed to securely store credentials and exam materials on-chain. All data is encrypted and automatically released at a pre-set date specified by the issuer, ensuring controlled, tamper-proof access and preventing leaks or unauthorized distribution.

  • Decentralised Certificate Engine: The Decentralized Certificate Engine (DCE) is used to issue verifiable certificates as NFTs (cNFTs). It enables institutions to mint certificates containing essential metadata — such as course details, grades, and timestamps — ensuring all credential information is transparent, tamper-proof, and easy to verify on-chain.

Getting Started

Even while Pax is still in development, you can begin preparing to build with the following:

1. Learn the Tech Stack

Pax is inspired by Solana's architecture, using high-throughput tools optimized for speed and decentralization.

Technologies to know:

  • Rust + Anchor Framework: For building smart contracts (programs).

  • Solana Web3 SDKs: For integrating frontend applications.

  • Wallet Adapters : For authentication and transactions.

2. Set Up Your Development Environment

You can start experimenting with Pax-compatible tools now:

These tools will be directly compatible when Pax Testnet launches.

3. Join the Developer Community

Become an early contributor, share feedback, and shape Pax’s core protocols. Start building with us!

Future Development Plans

Once Pax core features go live, developers will be able to:

✅ Deploy smart contracts on Pax using Rust + Anchor. ✅ Build scalable dApps that integrate with PaxWallet, PaxSwap, and EQP. ✅ Take advantage of Pax’s low fees, fast finality, and educational impact. ✅ Launch apps that support Africa’s education systems with verifiable credentials and secure certificates

Contribute to Pax

We're a developer-first blockchain and value early contributors. Expect:

  • Pax Testnet Release

  • Open GitHub Contribution

  • Bounties for Security, dApp Tools, and EQP Projects
