1. Project Introduction
Saga is a Layer-1 protocol that allows developers to develop parallelized, VM-agnostic, and interoperable dedicated chains, or "Chainlets", that provide applications with infinite scalability. The Saga Protocol is a fully decentralized proof-of-stake chain. Each Chainlet has the same validator set and security model as the Saga Mainnet. In March 2024, Saga unveiled Saga Origins, a new game publishing arm devoted to bringing cutting-edge, quality games to market.
Summary: Saga is committed to making launching dedicated blockchains, or Chainlets, as easy as deploying smart contracts. By leveraging dedicated chains, automated deployment, shared security, the Cosmos ecosystem, and other elements, Saga offers a scalable and user-friendly solution.
