Built for builders
Get going with a few lines of codes
The Akord Protocol and SDK provide the tools to store data, share and collaborate on Arweave. Bring data ownership, permanence and privacy to your apps
# Create your vault
const { akord } = await Akord.auth.signIn(username, password);
const { vaultId } = akord.vault.create("My personal vault");
# Write to your vault
const { noteId } = await akord.note.create(vaultId, 'Hello World', "My first note");
# Read from your vault
const notes = await akord.note.list(vaultId);
Get going in the terminal with our CLI.
Some people prefer diving in with the basics rather than reading every page of the docs!
Building together
Supporting and connecting our community
We have a range of channels to support builders, from grants to our community Discord. It’s easy to connect with our team and other builders in the ecosystem, and get any help you may need.
The community’s success is our success.
We’re not here just to create a product. We’re here to join with like-minded builders, eyes gleaming at the thought of the potential, the possibilities, the future. Without you, our work is incomplete.
