Agoric is a blockchain platform designed to simplify the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Built on the Cosmos ecosystem, it operates as a Proof-of-Stake chain and emphasizes accessibility for developers by using JavaScript. Agoric’s framework includes tools like Hardened JavaScript, which enhances security, and the Zoe framework, which ensures "offer safety" by escrowing assets during transactions to minimize risks.

The platform aims to enable seamless multi-chain interactions through its Orchestration API, facilitating interoperability across blockchains. Agoric’s native token, BLD, is used for staking and governance, while its ecosystem integrates with Cosmos via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.
