Through its asynchronous communication and multi-block execution, the Agoric chain is uniquely suited for developers to build decentralized applications that reach cross-chain to take advantage of liquidity and capabilities wherever they live. By orchestrating cross-chain capabilities, the Agoric smart contract layer aims to become the meta layer on which most decentralized applications are built.
