Chad Oh walks through Stellar Registry, the smart contract module discovery system for Stellar. Learn how to publish WASMs with names and versions, deploy contracts from the UI, use the CLI for automation, and navigate governance for registry promotion. A complete developer guide to using Stellar's on-chain module distribution.
Chad Oh from The AHA Co delivers a complete walkthrough of Stellar Registry, Stellar's naming and discovery system for smart contracts. The video covers three core pillars: (1) Contracts and sub-registries, showing how Tansu, OpenZeppelin, and Circle maintain verified namespaces; (2) WASMs with names and versions, demonstrating how Stellar mirrors npm and crates.io as a module distribution system; (3) the Registry CLI for publishing, deploying, and registering contracts, plus governance for moving contracts from the unverified namespace. By the end, developers understand how to publish reusable code modules on-chain, reference them across contracts, and participate in the governance process to earn verified status.
