Chris Anataglio from the Stellar Development Foundation walks through building Soroban smart contracts using Rust, covering Okashi browser IDE and the Stellar CLI with live coding examples.
This educational video introduces developers to building on Stellar with Soroban smart contracts. Chris Anataglio, a developer advocate at the Stellar Development Foundation, covers Rust fundamentals, the Soroban smart contract platform, and practical tools including Okashi (browser-based IDE) and the Stellar CLI. The video includes live coding demonstrations of writing a simple Rust function, compiling to WebAssembly, deploying contracts to testnet, and invoking deployed contracts. Key topics include Stellar's performance metrics, Rust's advantages for smart contracts, and the complete workflow from development to deployment.
