description: >-
  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.
