Shipping Soroban straight to your browser. No clutter. No delays. No dev drama.
WebSoroban is a browser-based, AI-powered IDE designed to make building on Stellar with Soroban smart contracts effortless.
Everything Developers Need, Nothing They Don’t
Zero-Setup Development – Write, compile and deploy Soroban contracts directly in your browser - no CLI or SDK required. Contracts are deployed instantly to Stellar’s testnet or mainnet, enabling developer onboarding in minutes.
AI Copilot – Generate, debug, and optimize Soroban-ready Rust code using natural language. Every output is validated for Stellar compatibility, reducing the learning curve for new and cross-chain developers.
One-Click Deployment - Launch contracts to Stellar’s network in seconds, accelerating iteration and time-to-market for DeFi, NFT and enterprise applications.
Live Simulation & Debugging – Test transactions, monitor gas usage and troubleshoot in real-time on Stellar, improving code quality and reducing deployment risks.
Community Templates – Access a growing library of pre-built, Stellar-compliant contract templates for common use cases, speeding up project initiation and ecosystem expansion.
Our mission: Remove friction from smart contract development so developers can focus on innovation, not setup. Every hour saved in tooling is an hour invested in building value on Stellar.

$60.0K
Onboard 1,000+ developers actively building on WebSoroban within the first 6 months.
Achieve 100+ Soroban contract deployments to testnet and 25+ deployments to mainnet by month six.
Enable 5–10 projects built on WebSoroban to secure funding or achieve adoption within the Stellar ecosystem.
Each new developer acts as a multiplier - targeting 1,000+ active WebSoroban developers by Month 6, each producing an average of 2–3 contracts, leading to 2,000–3,000 new contract iterations in total.
Reduce contract deployment time from 2–3 hours to under 5 minutes, enabling at least 4× more prototypes per developer per month.
Bridge Web2 and Web3 talent - targeting 30% of onboarded developers to be first-time blockchain builders, growing Stellar’s talent base beyond the crypto-native community.
Maintain a sustained onboarding rate of 150+ new developers per month post-launch to ensure consistent growth.
Drive 50+ new mainnet contracts per quarter across DeFi, NFTs, and institutional tools, ensuring a diverse and resilient contract base.
Achieve a developer retention rate of 70%+ at the 6-month mark, ensuring that the network continues to benefit from experienced contributors.
We believe the best marketing is a product that delivers instant value and markets itself. My approach is to put WebSoroban directly in the hands of developers at the exact moment they feel friction with existing tools.
1. Address the Pain Point Directly
We’re targeting ex-Okashi dev users and active Soroban developers who are stuck dealing with complex CLI/SDK setups. We’ll position WebSoroban as the “open your browser and start building” alternative - removing setup entirely.
2. Meet Developers Where They Build
We plan to launch at Stellar hackathons, DevRel events and within open-source communities. We’ll work with Stellar global ambassador network to host “Code in the Browser” workshops that get developers building in under 15 minutes.
3. Build in Public
We’ll share progress updates, demos and new AI features on X, Discord and GitHub. By letting developers test features early, We’ll create feedback loops that turn early adopters into vocal advocates.
4. Showcase Success Stories
Every project built with WebSoroban will become a proof point. We’ll spotlight developers who go from idea to mainnet deployment in a single weekend, showing exactly how fast and effective the tool is.
5. Drive Network Effects
We’ll grow a library of community-built, Stellar-compliant contract templates, making it easier for the next wave of builders to get started. Every new deployed contract boosts Stellar’s network activity, transaction volume and overall mindshare.
Core Principle: We’re not chasing hype - We’re removing friction. If WebSoroban saves hours for developers, they’ll tell others. As the word spreads, both adoption and the Stellar ecosystem will grow.
Early Market Interest: WebSoroban has generated substantial demand ahead of launch, securing a waitlist of 450+ developers. This audience includes both established Stellar builders and cross-chain developers exploring Soroban for the first time.
Verified Data: The waitlist spreadsheet contains validated sign-ups. This provides clear insight into the diversity and technical depth of our early adopters.

Authentic Demand: All sign-ups to date have been acquired organically through developer community engagement, technical workshops, and participation in Stellar ecosystem forums - without paid acquisition. This organic traction signals genuine demand for streamlined, AI-assisted Soroban development tools.
Beta-Ready Cohort: The waitlist represents a qualified group of early users prepared to actively test, provide feedback and contribute to product refinement, ensuring that WebSoroban launches with validated workflows and real-world applicability.
Live Pre-Launch Validation: WebSoroban IDE was pre-launched during a Stellar developer workshop in India, where participants had hands-on access to the platform. The session received exceptional feedback and engagement, further validating its usability and demand in live, technical settings. With 30+ contracts deployed on Websoroban live.
