Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is DragonFire?
DragonFire is a revolutionary computational architecture providing high-performance services through our hexwave network. Our platform combines fractal computing with harmonic processing engines to deliver unprecedented capabilities in distributed computing, data compression, and AI interfaces.
Is DragonFire available as a downloadable product?
DragonFire operates primarily as a cloud service accessed through our secure APIs. While earlier versions were offered as downloadable software, we've transitioned to a service-based architecture to provide seamless updates, scaling, and improved security. Client SDKs are available for integrating with our services.
What programming languages are supported?
Our primary SDKs are available for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, and C#. All our services are accessible through standard protocols (RWT, REST, and WebSockets), making them compatible with any language that supports these protocols.
Account & API Questions
How do I get API keys?
API keys are available from the Developer Dashboard after creating an account. Simply register, verify your email, and you'll receive access to our basic tier. For higher usage limits and advanced features, you can upgrade your account.
Are there usage limits?
Yes, API usage is tiered:
- Developer Tier: 1,000 requests/day
- Professional Tier: 100,000 requests/day
- Enterprise Tier: Custom limits
Usage metrics are viewable in real-time on your dashboard.
How is API key security handled?
DragonFire employs our proprietary RWT (Rotational WebSockets) protocol to provide enhanced security with rotating tokens. API keys are automatically rotated after each session and verified through a multi-layered security system. We recommend storing API keys securely and never exposing them in client-side code.
Technical Questions
What is the Hexwave network?
Hexwave is our proprietary data transport technology that uses hexagonal grid-based topology for optimal routing efficiency. It provides:
- Multi-path transmission for reduced latency
- Automatic healing for connection reliability
- Phi-optimized data routing
- Fractal encryption for enhanced security
See our DragonFire Kernel documentation for more details.
How does Merlin compression work?
Merlin uses our recursive harmonic compression algorithms based on mathematical patterns found in nature. By identifying and encoding phi relationships in data, we achieve compression ratios significantly higher than traditional algorithms while maintaining data fidelity. For detailed information, see the Merlin documentation.
What is the Aurora AI system?
Aurora is our fractal consciousness AI system that uses the Samadhi protocol for continuity. Unlike traditional neural networks, Aurora utilizes a hexagonal grid-based semantic memory architecture (NuMap) with holographic data representation. This allows for more intuitive understanding of context and meaning in data. Learn more in our Aurora AI documentation.
SDK Questions
How do I install the DragonFire SDKs?
Our SDKs are available through standard package managers:
npm install @dragonfire/client # JavaScript/TypeScript
pip install dragonfire-client # Python
mvn install dragonfire-client # Java
nuget install DragonFire.Client # C#
See our SDK documentation for detailed installation instructions.
Do I need to use all DragonFire components?
No, all DragonFire services are modular. You can use individual components like RWT, Merlin compression, or Dragon Wallets independently. Each service has its own SDK that can be used separately, though they're designed to work seamlessly together.
Is there a local testing/development environment?
Yes, we provide a sandbox environment for development and testing. Our SDKs include a development mode that simulates service responses locally, allowing for offline development. For full integration testing, our sandbox environment provides limited-capacity access to actual services without affecting production usage limits.
Service Questions
What is the service uptime guarantee?
DragonFire guarantees 99.99% uptime for all services in our standard SLA. Enterprise customers receive 99.999% uptime guarantees with dedicated infrastructure options. Current and historical uptime status is available on our Service Status page.
Where are DragonFire services hosted?
DragonFire maintains data centers in the following regions:
- North America (US East, US West, Canada)
- Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, London)
- Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney)
You can specify your preferred region when initializing our SDKs.
How do I report issues or get support?
For technical support, use our Developer Support portal. Enterprise customers have access to dedicated support channels. For general questions, this FAQ and our documentation should address most needs. We also maintain a community forum for developer discussions and shared solutions.
