# Developer overview

> Build against Zonk.fun contracts and indexed data.

Zonk.fun separates authoritative execution from query-oriented application data.

| Need                                                     | Integration surface                                   |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Launch, quote, trade, balances, allowances               | Base Mainnet contracts via viem or another EVM client |
| Discovery, token detail, metrics, chart, history         | Read-only HTTP API                                    |
| Metadata draft and launch finalization                   | HTTP metadata endpoints                               |
| Shared chains, addresses, ABI fragments, receipt parsing | `packages/contracts-sdk`                              |

State-changing token and trade actions are not submitted through the API. They are simulated and sent from the user's browser wallet.
