Access Layer Contracts

This repository contains the on-chain smart contracts for Access Layer on Stellar using Soroban.

These contracts hold the trust-sensitive marketplace rules. The goal is to keep pricing, ownership, and fee logic on-chain while leaving general application features to the server and client.

Purpose

The contracts layer is responsible for:

• registering creators on-chain
• minting and burning creator keys
• enforcing bonding curve pricing
• handling buy and sell execution
• distributing creator and protocol fees
• exposing ownership and supply state to the app

Tech

• Rust
• Soroban SDK
• Stellar

Workspace layout

• Cargo.toml: Rust workspace configuration
• creator-keys: first Soroban contract crate

Current state

The initial creator-keys contract is only a starting point. It currently supports:

• simple creator registration
• a basic purchase action that increments creator supply
• reading stored creator data

Verification

cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
