Smart Contracts Finally Arrive on Stellar

After two years of testing, the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) has launched its smart contract platform, Soroban, onto the mainnet. The blockchain, primarily focused on payments, has hailed this move as one of the most significant developments in its ten-year history. Soroban provides developers with the ability to deploy smart contracts, expanding the ecosystem of applications built on the Stellar blockchain. To support development on the new platform, SDF has allocated $100 million.
