Soroban Origins
summary
Soroban is presented as a fresh on‑chain smart‑contracts platform built atop Stellar without changing consensus: WASM‑based contracts, separate “execution lane” so payments keep low fees, concurrent execution primitives, state expiration/archiving, and a built‑in kill switch. Roadmap names futurenets and a mainnet target of Q2 2023, plus an early developer program and $100M Sorobanathon First Light to fund tooling and apps. Validators need no new hardware; fees become multi‑dimensional (compute, reads/writes, state).
