What is Soroban?
Soroban is the Stellar Network’s smart contracts platform, that aims to provide a developer-friendly platform for building smart contracts within the Stellar network. Smart contracts are changing how we interact with digital assets. They are self-executing code or protocols that carry out a set of instructions verified on the blockchain. Smart contracts enable automated, secure, and efficient transactions without the need for intermediaries.
Soroban represents the next leap in smart contract platforms—designed from the ground up to be sensible, scalable, and supremely developer-friendly. Soroban uniquely enables developers to build decentralized applications that tap into Stellar's global presence, offering innovative financial services and products that expand the possibilities of decentralized finance. While it seamlessly integrates with Stellar, enhancing the capabilities of both platforms, Soroban stands independent. It's an open invitation to developers from any background—whether you're working with other blockchains, layer-2 solutions, or permissioned ledgers—to explore its potential and build innovative applications. Validation Cloud is committed to providing users the best platform for building and deploying smart contracts on Stellar.
