What is Agoric?

Agoric is a layer 1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) public blockchain and smart contract platform that delivers a safer, more familiar platform for accelerated development and deployment of decentralized applications. Agoric empowers over 14 million JavaScript developers to pioneer Web3.

The purpose of this library is to create a one-stop shop that holds everything a developer needs to begin assembling code across the interchain, including an introduction to Web3 programming, in-depth guides and tutorials. Developers with previous JavaScript knowledge will find learning Agoric's Hardened JavaScript framework straightforward. Within the library, developers can access useful resources such as a lending protocol, an LP stop loss contract, smart contracts for interacting cross-chain, NFT drop and auction mechanisms, and an on-chain governance committee.
