# Serai
|
|
|
|
Serai is a decentralized execution layer whose validators form multisig wallets
|
|
for various connected networks, offering secure decentralized custody of foreign
|
|
assets to applications built on it.
|
|
|
|
Serai is exemplified by Serai DEX, an automated-market-maker (AMM) decentralized
|
|
exchange, allowing swapping BTC, ETH, USDC, DAI, and XMR. It is the premier
|
|
application of Serai.
|
|
|
|
### Substrate
|
|
|
|
Serai is based on [Substrate](https://docs.substrate.io), a blockchain framework
|
|
offering a robust infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
### Smart Contracts
|
|
|
|
Serai offers WASM-based smart contracts. All applications are built over these
|
|
contracts, enabling composable interactions within a mutual layer. These
|
|
contracts are primarily written in [ink!](https://ink.substrate.io/), a
|
|
framework for building contracts in Rust.
|
|
|
|
Initially, smart contract deployment will not be enabled. Solely Serai DEX will
|
|
be available, due to the variety of economic considerations around securing the
|
|
multisig. Serai may expand in the future with more explicitly added
|
|
applications, each with tailored economic models, or may enable arbitrary
|
|
contract deployment. At this time, we solely plan for Serai DEX's availabiliy.
|
|
|
|
### Application Calls
|
|
|
|
Applications, such as Serai DEX, may be called via calling their relevant smart
|
|
contracts. At a low level, this is done via specifying the address of the
|
|
contract being interacted with, along with SCALE-encoded calldata.
