Neuro is a platform for building applications that require trusted, cross-domain interaction — identity, communication, contracts, payments, and tokenized assets, all grounded in the same trust model. This page helps you find the right starting point depending on what you are trying to do.

I want to understand the platform first

If you are evaluating Neuro or need a conceptual foundation before building:

What is the Neuron?

The core runtime — what it does and why it sits at the centre of everything.

Trust model

How trust is established across domains without a central controller.

Platform diagram

Visual overview of the platform stack and how clients connect.

Architecture overview

The four layers and how they work together.

I want to build a back-end integration

You are building a server-side service that creates accounts, manages identities, signs contracts, handles wallets, or works with tokens via HTTP. Start here: Neuron API — Introduction
1

Read the introduction

Understand what the Agent API covers and how it is structured. → Introduction
2

Learn authentication

The API uses HMAC-signed requests for login and JWT bearer tokens for everything else. → Authentication
3

Create your first account

Step-by-step guide to creating and verifying a Neuron account. → Creating an account
4

Get a Legal Identity

Create cryptographic keys, apply for a Legal Identity, and get it approved. → Creating cryptographic keys · Applying for a Legal Identity · Getting your identity approved
5

Browse the API reference

Full endpoint documentation grouped by capability. → API reference

I want to extend the Neuron itself

You are writing packages, custom services, or modules that run inside a Neuron. Start here: Neuron Development — Introduction
1

Understand the development model

How packages, modules, and the IoTGateway framework fit together. → Development overview
2

Learn the package format

How content and assembly packages are structured and built. → Package architecture
3

Work with contracts and templates

Use LegalLab to design and propose smart contract templates on a Neuron. → Getting started with LegalLab

I want to integrate payments

You are building a checkout flow, invoice system, or climate compensation integration. Start here: Neuro-Pay — Introduction

I want to understand a specific concept
