Agoric is a smart contract platform specializing in DeFi. Agoric uses JavaScript to make blockchain programming safe and accessible to the 17+ million JavaScript developers. Hardened JavaScript provides a safe, stable environment that developers need in order to build, deploy, and operate sophisticated Dapps, NFTs, and DeFi markets. The Agoric public blockchain, part of the interchain ecosystem, is designed to mitigate novel risks posed by decentralized financial systems built upon Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus. Moreover, the Agoric programming model, supported by our native market infrastructure, will enable the formation of a cryptoeconomic standard library with the same exponential composability that led to the explosive growth of the Node.js, React.js, and other JavaScript ecosystems.
