What is DERO Stargate?

Stargate is the release name for DERO’s smart contract platform DVM, currently active on testnet and getting ready for it’s mainnet release. Stargate is a platform that works on Layer 1 cryptonote privacy for it’s smart contracts. What does that mean? It means, even if you can see the content of the smart contract (Layer 2) you still cannot reveal the identity of those interacting with the contract. To my knowledge, this is the first known working example of smart contracts with layer 1 privacy.

What language is used for smart contracts?

DBASIC is the language used for DERO smart contracts. DBASIC was chosen as it simplifies the learning curve for creating smart contracts and helps create more secure contracts through ease of auditing.
