Building on Monero: Developer Integrations

For developers: build your own Monero integration — a wallet, a BTCPay-style payment processor, or an instant-swap exchange — using monerod, the daemon RPC, monero-wallet-rpc, accounts and subaddresses, watch-only and hot/cold wallets, and light-wallet servers. By the end you understand how Cake Wallet, BTCPay and swap services are actually built, and could build your own.
