Deep technical overview of Soroban's architecture, covering the host-guest boundary design, value types, host functions, contract storage, and resource metering that enable secure, performant smart contract execution on Stellar.

Jisun from Vibrant demonstrates building an NFT smart contract on Soroban using Taylor Swift concert tickets as an example, covering contract initialization, minting, ownership checks, transfers, and testnet deployment.

Fred from Lightmean demonstrates how to build Web3 games on Stellar using Soroban smart contracts, covering gameplay validation, NFT rewards, in-game currency management, and Freighter wallet integration with a live pool physics game demo.

SDF Q2 2023 quarterly review covering Soroban smart contracts platform progress toward mainnet launch, MoneyGram access milestone reaching one year, Franklin Templeton's on-chain money fund surpassing $270M AUM, and ecosystem growth with 70+ projects building on Soroban.

Stellar Core developers discussed replacing the variable rent balance system with a fixed expiration ledger approach for state expiration. The new model simplifies user experience and downstream system integration by storing a single expiration ledger per entry instead of periodically deducting variable rent fees.

Soroban design discussion on state expiration and storage. Team proposes unified storage interface combining temporary and restorable entries with rent-based model, automatic rent bumps on access, and optional manual bumps. Short-term entries (15 min) charged at lower rate than long-term (30 days) to incentivize temporary storage use.
