Products & Services

What can you do with Sorobix?

Deploy Contracts to Futurenet using 0 compute resources of your own. No setup required to try out Soroban. Easily write your own smart contracts on our online IDE. Build and test out functions written in your contract and easily debug your contract before deploying. Deploy contracts to the futurenet with a single click. You don't even need a wallet to deploy on testnet! (We automatically create one and provide the keys to you!) Invoke existing deployed smart contracts using their Contract ID.

How does this benefit Soroban/Stellar Ecosystem?

With the launch of Soroban Smart Contracts on the Stellar Network, we expect a huge influx of developers joining the ecosystem to get their hands dirty. Setting up Rust (the language Soroban Contracts are written in) in a local environment has always been tricky. This has always been a point of friction for first-timers onboarding or trying out the Soroban ecosystem. This is where Sorobix jumps in. With its online IDE capabilities, users can quickly write their own smart contracts from the browser itself and also try out pre-written sample codebases provided by the community! Soroban being at a nascent stage with its FutureNet launch last quarter, we want to scale it together using Sorobix to increase user adoption in the developer community of Soroban and benefit Stellar Network.

Before Sorobix: - Install Rust on a local system (5 mins) - Install the wasm32-unknown toolchain for rust (3 mins) - Install the soroban-cli (10 mins) - Initialise Cargo Project and Copy starter code from Docs (2 mins) - Build the Contract (10 mins) - Deploy/Invoke/Test the Contract (10 mins) [Depends on PC Spec] - Total Time Taken: 40 mins

After Sorobix: - Click on the Try out Code Button on the Soroban Docs/Visit our website and find the starter code (1 min) - Deploy/Invoke/Test the contract (4 mins) [Superior remote build system] - Total Time Taken: 5 mins

As you can see, we have made the process 8x faster for newer developers and adopters to try out Soroban!
