Saga Overview

Saga is a pioneering Layer-1 protocol that introduces the creation and deployment of application-specific blockchains, termed "Chainlets." The Saga protocol simplifies the process of chainlet deployment by automating it and leveraging shared security mechanisms. Developers interact with the Saga Mainnet to initiate Chainlets that operate under the robust ICS security provided by the existing Saga validators, who ensure compliance with strict service-level agreements (SLAs).

This framework allows for the integration of various virtual machines, making it highly flexible and adaptable for developers and different applications. By facilitating the easy launch of dedicated blockchains as effortlessly as deploying a smart contract, Saga empowers developers to efficiently scale their web3 projects while maintaining high security and performance standards. Currently, Saga's GTM is focusing on the gaming sector but Saga's applications are quite extensive.
