This partnership is seen as a critical development for both CablesFinance and Stellar, potentially contributing to a more inclusive financial environment. Notably, CablesFinance is the first decentralized exchange to launch on Soroban, Stellar’s smart contracts platform, anticipated to further attract integration of financial services.
Soroban, designed to enhance the Stellar network’s capabilities, is developer-friendly and built on Rust, facilitating ease of use and scalability. It offers tools such as SDKs, CLI, RPC server, and a local sandbox to aid developers.
The platform is engineered for high performance, featuring multi-core scaling, an optimized fee model, and solutions to manage state bloat efficiently.
Supporting Turing-complete smart contracts through WebAssembly (WASM), Soroban enables developers to create complex decentralized applications more efficiently and flexibly. It connects to Stellar’s network, providing access to a wide range of on-chain assets and fiat conversion pathways.
