What is Second State

Rust and WebAssembly for cloud services

Second State builds the next-generation open source “operating system” for the cloud and the decentralized web. The Second State Virtual Machine (SSVM) is a WebAssembly runtime optimized for server-side applications. It works seamlessly with existing application frameworks, such as Node.js, but provides a secure and lightweight runtime at native performance. It is a managed alternative to native code, and is ideal for building AI and big data microservices. Check out why you want to use WebAssembly on the server-side.

The SSVM also powers decentralized applications as the execution engine for leading public blockchains, such as Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum Classic, Polkadot / Web3, Oasis, and CyberMiles. If you are interested in our blockchain-related technologies, check out here.

The Second State BUIDL IDE brings the cloud experience to decentralized apps (DApps) developers. It is an entirely browser-based IDE that enables you to

  • Write, compile, and deploy smart contracts (Solidity & Lity)

  • Develop rule-based smart contracts using the Lity rules engine

  • Develop & run JavaScript DApps based on smart contracts

  • Access web3 & smart contract search engine JS libraries

  • Allow other people to run your H5 JavaScript DApp

  • Interact with your own Second State blockchain

The Second State Virtual Machine (SSVM) is a WebAssembly runtime optimized for server-side applications. It has applications beyond the blockchain.

Second State is a Venture Capital backed startup with offices in USA, Taiwan, China, and Australia.
