Soroban: A New Smart Contracts Platform
summary
Soroban is a Rust-written smart contracts platform native to Stellar with a WebAssembly runtime, a local sandbox for offline development, and built-in host functions including an efficient token contract. Transactions declare Footprints to enable concurrency and parallel execution, a calibrated gas model ties fees to compute, and a state-archiving approach targets ledger bloat. An incentivized public testnet FutureNet live accepts deployments now, with mainnet targeted Q2/H1 2023 and a $100M reserve committed to adoption.
