API Documentation

To build quality decentralised applications, it helps to have good documentation to guide you. So, in addition to the existing Node.js API and recently released Java API documentation, we’ve updated the C# API documentation as well.
See it here: API Details | Safe Network :: safe_app_csharp API Documentation

SAFE Authenticator for Mobile

The SAFE Authenticator enables users to create an account & authenticate themselves to the SAFE Network. It gives users full control over the permissions they grant to SAFE DApps (decentralised applications) on their mobile device.
Before installing the Authenticator Mobile (Android)

If you have the older version installed already, remove this first.

Make sure your phone/device has permission to install third-party apps.

Downloading the Authenticator Mobile (Android)

You can get the SAFE Authenticator App (currently proof-of-concept) from the GitHub Repository.
Note for iOS: You can build the authenticator for iOS from the GitHub repository.
