Cryptocurrency is built on the shoulders of an enormous but cohesive web of technologies. Working behind each wallet, exchange, or decentralized app is a matrix of tools and protocols working together to get things done correctly, shift money safely, and provide steady innovation. Of all these enabler building blocks, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), SDKs (Software Development Kits), and developer tools are leading the way in empowering systems to communicate with one another effortlessly, ease development, and introduce blockchain into the mainstream. Although the words themselves are technical-sounding, they are what close the blockchain's raw power and consumable applications that hundreds of millions of users use on a daily basis.
