Designed For

Batteries-Included Developer Experience

  • A local sandbox for fast setup and iterative development
  • Plug-and-play SDKs for simple and complex authorization
  • Flexibility to reuse common functionality between contracts and access to built-in/out-of-the box contracts
  • Written in Rust from end-to-end, for Rust developers, which taps into a growing ecosystem of safe and efficient tooling

Scale

  • Transaction footprints allow scaling to multiple cores
  • Contracts without deserialization / serialization loops
  • A calibrated fee model that represents compute and maximizes throughput while reducing cost
  • Solving state bloat: the elephant in the room

Access to Financial Rails via Stellar

  • Stellar speed and reliability – with 5 seconds to finality per contract
  • On a proven network that has been live since 2015 and is processing 150 tps as we speak
  • A global anchor network of on/off ramps and assets, including worldwide cash access
