Massa: The Decentralized and Scaled Blockchain

About Massa

Massa is a new blockchain based on a multithreaded technology that supports more than 10'000 transactions per second in a fully decentralized network with thousands of nodes. A short introduction video is available here.

Massa's purpose is to make it easy to deploy fully decentralized applications. We've developed two key technologies that are exclusive to Massa to help make this possible: autonomous smart contracts and native front-end hosting.

Here is a list of tools to easily build applications on the Massa blockchain:

• JS Client library to connect to the Massa blockchain from your applications.
• AssemblyScript SDKs to write smart contracts.
• Examples of applications built on Massa.
• Explorer.
• Interactive API specification.
• Lots of documentation, from web3 development to Massa's architecture.

Become a node runner

With decentralization as a core value, we've gone to great lengths to lower the barrier of entry for community participation in our mainnet, and we invite you to join in by becoming a node runner!

Community

We have active community discussions on several platforms, and we invite you to join the conversations. If you wish to go into some depth about technical aspects, speak with people working in the ecosystem full-time, or just have a chat with other like-minded people, these can be good places to start:

• Discord
• Telegram
• Twitter

Contributing

We welcome contributions from the community at large, from anywhere between seasoned OSS contributors, to those hoping to try it for the first time.
