Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of the Stellar blockchain, has established a $100 million fund to accelerate the adoption of native smart contracts.
Soroban, a platform for smart contracts based on the Stellar network, will reward developers to create new tools and apps for enhanced network performance.
In contrast to the present state of the economy and the worsening position of the law enforcement sectors, blockchain advances continue to dominate the news practically every day. As soon as the crypto winter begins to wane, the rising number of advancements in the blockchain industry might be ascribed to soaring crypto prices.
However, developers from across the globe may now participate in the Soroban ecosystem via initiatives such as Sorobanathon: First Light. In addition, the project is now live on Futurenet, inviting specialists from all over the globe to construct, discuss, test, submit a lesson, etc., in exchange for prizes. On the Stellar blockchain, the Sorobian Fund team intends to develop cost-effective, innovative, and efficient financial solutions.
Tomer Weller, vice president of Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) and leader of the Soroban Project, said in a statement;
We created Soroban because, as developers, we were unable to find the smart contracts platform we desired on the market. We saw the friction on other networks, and our reaction is Soroban, smart contracts built for a developer experience with batteries included, for scalability, and for dependable access to Stellar’s financial rails.
Soroban is an alternative smart contract platform that is constructed using WASM and Rust. To cut gas costs, the ecosystem will concentrate on implementing fewer energy-intensive calculations for financial services products than other crypto initiatives. In addition to the continuing testing by global specialists, the Sorobon will undergo many testnet stages before launching on the mainnet during the first half of 2023.
In March of this year, SDF announced its desire to provide a Turing-complete smart-contract platform, and this adoption fund is part of the SDF’s entire mandate that allotted $17 billion XLM for this reason.
As web 3 technology has yet to gain mainstream, the fund will assist in exploring and attracting software professionals to the blockchain field to meet the expanding need for developers in web 3 initiatives.
