About Agoric
Agoric is a Cosmos SDK Layer 1 that writes smart contracts in Hardened JavaScript under an object-capability model, aimed at DeFi applications and institutional allocators that need cross-chain orchestration. It addresses the trust boundary of multi-chain operations: a cross-chain strategy authorises, swaps and settles on several chains, and a flaw in any step can take the whole position. Zoe provides offer safety so a contract fills only on the terms a user accepted or returns the offer; ERTP represents assets as verifiable rights, CapTP lets objects message across chains, IBC connects the Cosmos ecosystem, and the orchestration layer packages cross-chain accounts, time triggers and multi-step calls into reusable flows.
The IST stablecoin is minted against overcollateralised ATOM, stATOM and USDC, kept convertible through a parity stability module, and used for fees and settlement. The fee model has users pay small postage while apps cover execution and storage, with orchestration commissions burned or paid to BLD stakers by governance. IST secondary liquidity sits in a few Osmosis pools, trades away from one dollar, and parity module capacity is capped by governance.
Mainnet upgrade: Agoric executed agoric-upgrade-23 at block 26581000 on July 27, moving to Cosmos SDK v0.53; governance proposal 119 passed with 73.4% yes on 53.72% turnout.
Fee model: Users now pay only a small postage fee while apps cover execution, storage and cross-chain orchestration costs. Orchestration commissions and local execution fees are burned or routed to BLD stakers at governance's discretion.
