Soroban is new, but it's built on well-established technologies: WASM and Rust. These choices are deliberate, and we made them after a ton of research. With WASM (WebAssembly), we get a robust and minimal bytecode specification designed to run in an adversarial environment, initially the web — and now in blockchains.

Rust is fast becoming the standard programming language for safe, mission-critical, and efficient computation. Choosing Rust also means we can share code between a smart contract and its host environment (in the case of Stellar, that means stellar-core), and we’re doing exactly that! Expect more content on Rust and how we use it soon.

The Stellar Development Foundation also announced a $100 million adoption fund for the smart contract platform. So come check it out on our FutureNet and get paid to tinker.
