Official documentation for SOCKET Protocol - The First Chain-Abstraction Protocol. Hosted at docs.socket.tech.
SOCKET Protocol enables developers to build chain-abstracted applications to compose users, accounts, and applications across 300+ rollups and chains. It provides a new computing paradigm that lets developers leverage chains as servers/databases while delivering a consistent monolithic experience to end users.
- Chain-Abstracted Composability: Call any function on any contract on any chain via plain Solidity
- Pre-Execution Logic: Execute additional logic before onchain contracts are executed
- Horizontal Scaling: Deploy multiple instances across chains with built-in load balancing
- Security-First Design: Run security checks before transaction execution
- Watchers: Offchain operators running specialized VMs
- Transmitters: Smart operators performing onchain actions
- Switchboards: Onchain contracts for validation
- AppGateway: Custom contracts for composing smart contracts
- Node.js and yarn installed
- Basic understanding of Solidity and blockchain development

yarn installyarn startThis command starts a local development server and opens a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
yarn buildThis command generates static content into the build directory.
Using SSH:
$ USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
$ GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
