Agoric

Agoric is a Cosmos-based Layer 1 blockchain that lets developers build secure cross-chain smart contracts in Hardened JavaScript (SES). Its Orchestration API abstracts multiple chains so a single long-lived contract can manage assets, accounts, and services across the multi-chain universe. The platform is built around Zoe (a smart-contract framework that enforces offer safety), ERTP (the Electronic Rights Transfer Protocol for issuing and transferring digital assets), and SwingSet (its deterministic async VM). Developers ship dapps with the `agoric` CLI and `agd` Cosmos daemon, query chain state through vstorage, and integrate with the network over Cosmos RPC and IBC. The developer surface is delivered as first-party `@agoric/*` npm packages rather than a REST API. Originally surfaced as a Polychain portfolio company, this profile has been enriched from Agoric's public developer platform.

Agoric is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Smart Contracts, Blockchain, JavaScript, and Cosmos.

Agoric’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, CLI, changelog, and 9 more developer resources.
