Playing an instrumental role in the Stellar Community Fund* (an open-application awards program based on community input to boost development for startups and developer projects built on Stellar and Soroban), Gateway supports the initiative by providing free RPC infrastructure access.
We have identified a critical gap in the ecosystem of the Soroban platform – the lack of a Public RPC infrastructure. Today, we are thrilled to partner with Stellar to bridge this gap and provide high performing private data centers with a monthly rate limit of 155M requests free of charge.
Developers submit Soroban projects to the Stellar Community Fund and request up to $150K worth of XLM in awards to cover 2-3 months of development costs.
Soroban is a developer-friendly, Rust-based smart contracts platform designed for scale and sensibility. Currently live on Testnet, Soroban seamlessly integrates with and works alongside the existing Stellar blockchain.
It comes with tools such as plug-and-play SDKs, Soroban CLI, RPC server, and local sandbox providing a user-friendly experience that gets developers up and running quickly with the ability to scale easily.
Stellar is a decentralized, public blockchain that gives developers the tools to create experiences that are more like cash than crypto. The network is faster, cheaper, and far more energy-efficient than most blockchain-based systems, empowering the Stellar ecosystem to spearhead tangible, value-driven initiatives that make a real impact.
Stellar and Gateway share a mission to broaden the accessibility of Web3 infrastructure and champion industry decentralization. Additionally, our carbon-neutral data centers align with Stellar’s commitment to sustainability. Gateway is building public Soroban RPC infrastructure on private data centers to facilitate network decentralization, and our Free Public RPC infrastructure enables developers to effortlessly execute smart contracts and build dApps on the Stellar/Soroban network. By spreading the RPC infrastructure across multiple independent data centers, the network becomes less reliant on any one data center, reducing the risk of a single point of failure. Reliable RPC infrastructure also ensures network stability while facilitating faster transaction processing times for developers, driving adoption of the Stellar network. Moreover, with reliable RPC infrastructure, developers can focus on building their applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
All of our nodes are hosted in independent data centers, ensuring maximum security and decentralization for the Stellar/Soroban network.
