Products & Services

The Blue Marble was part of the Stellar community supporting the development of Turrets, the Layer 2 smart contract technology that was the precursor to Soroban Layer 1. Just prior to our brand launch, Soroban was announced as a replacement for Turrets - so we made the decision to get to market using Turrets and continue with the launch with a view to migrate to Soroban as soon as feasible. Our smart contracts control royalty payments and allow the trading of NFTs on Stellar without requiring use of Stroops as the NFT unit. The royalty system enables NFT creators and businesses to provide support for social and environmental causes when they sell or trade assets.

Our current Turret smart contracts: - Have full authorisation over the NFT assets we mint once the Primary Sale is closed - They ensure only integer asset transactions take place and avoid the need to use Stroops as the base unit, permitting easier trading - They control the buy and sell operations which optionally include royalties: 1. to the creator of the NFT, as a percentage of all secondary sales and 2. to causes the creator would like to support such as charities and nonprofits who receive an ongoing percentage of secondary sales

Our aim with Soroban is: - Develop Soroban based contracts to replace our existing Turret contracts as soon as Soroban goes live - Add to our existing smart contract operations so that the new Soroban contracts are fully complete and support all relevant activities required to manage NFT assets - Work with the Stellar community to ensure the new contracts are as cross compatible and easy to adopt by other NFT platforms and wallets on the Stellar ecosystem - Generate content and materials during our process of development in order to provide market knowledge and insights into the use and execution of Soroban based platforms, to act as a case study for The Stellar Development Foundation
