Beginner

First steps on Bantu

Open the Laboratory, generate a keypair, fund it on testnet, send your first payment. From zero to a settled transaction in five minutes.

Open Laboratory →

Issuer

Issue your first asset

Walk through token issuance from issuer account creation, asset code selection, trustlines, and distribution. End with a tradable asset on the on-chain DEX.

Open Token Creator →

Integrator

Use the EXPANSION API

Fetch ledgers and transactions, stream new blocks via SSE, submit signed transactions. Build wallets, dashboards, and integrations on top of the chain.

Advanced

Multi-sig & path payments

Build native multi-signature treasuries, configure thresholds, and use path payments for cross-asset transfers — the foundations of DeFi primitives on Bantu.
