Getting Started
1. Introduction
Welcome to the Circular SDK! We're thrilled that you're exploring the possibilities with our cutting-edge layer 1 blockchain. Our mission is to facilitate a seamless integration experience for developers like you.
This introductory section is crafted to navigate you through the essential steps to effectively integrate and engage with the Circular blockchain ecosystem. Rest assured, the process has been streamlined for clarity and ease. By following the outlined instructions meticulously, you'll be well on your way to launching your application with confidence.
Stay informed! All significant updates, enhancements, and new tools will be announced right here. As we chart the course ahead, our toolkit will continually expand to better serve your development needs.
To ensure you don't miss any updates or crucial releases, follow Circular on our social media channels. We're on the brink of rolling out our state-of-the-art 4th generation blockchain infrastructure, and you'll want to be in the loop every step of the way. And great news - we're soon launching a dedicated developer support channel, ensuring your queries and concerns are addressed promptly.
Let's embark on this transformative journey together. Ready to dive in? Let's make some blockchain magic!
2. Setting Up a Wallet
1.Log in: Start by logging into the platform.
2.Navigate to Wallet Creation: Once logged in, head over to Account -> Transactions to create your wallet.
3.Use the "Sand Box" Blockchain: For initial trials and free transactions, your wallet should be created on the "Sand Box" Blockchain. It's essential to note that data posted here is temporary. Typically, only the most recent 100 blocks are retained.
4.Maintaining Your Wallet: After creating your wallet, it's best to earmark it strictly for development endeavors. For ease of use, you can save the wallet details in a straightforward text file, without password encryption. This ensures quick access to both the address and the private key needed for transaction signatures.
Here's a snapshot of what your wallet file might resemble. Remember, if you're using this solely for developmental objectives, there's no need for concerns over saving it as an unencrypted file.

3. NAG Access Key
To gain access to the Circular Network, it is imperative to navigate through a Network Access Gateway (NAG). These NAGs are strategically positioned worldwide and are expected to proliferate gradually. While a comprehensive list of all accessible NAGs is slated for publication in the near future, at present, the most expedient approach is to reach out to the Circular team via this website. They will provide you with the access keys and the URL for the nearest NAG. Upon engaging with the Circular Network, the NAG access keys will seamlessly integrate into your interaction process. If your interaction is exclusively with the Sandbox blockchain, you have the option to leave the access key field empty.
4. Pick Programming Language
To engage with Circular's network, you can utilize our versatile SDK by selecting your preferred programming language or by directly communicating with the Network Access Gateway (NAG) endpoints through the appropriate URLs (APIs). As we progress, we will be releasing a wide range of language libraries that will extend support to various operating systems, including PC, mobile, and browsers. Additionally, we are committed to providing compatibility with embedded systems such as Arduino and other hardware development platforms. We encourage you to check back periodically, as we continuously enhance our APIs with additional features. This ensures seamless integration of Circular into your projects, making the process smooth and hassle-free.
