Project Health

  • Hyperledger Solang development is going well, with the main focus on the Soroban target.

  • Maintainers Sean Young and Salaheldin met at Stellar’s Meridian 2024 conference, where Salaheldin gave a talk on Solang. The conference was a great opportunity to attract new contributors to the project.

  • Solang Playground Deliverables to the Web3 Foundation were completed and delivered, making the playground closer to the final version.
