We have officially introduced our platform and application integration SDK (Software Development Kit) for building enterprise-ready blockchain applications, marking a significant advancement in enterprise blockchain development. By enterprise-ready, we mean that a product or solution meets the standards required for a company to operate effectively and manage large-scale operations.
This SDK was developed to address the growing demand for reliable, sustainable, and efficient blockchain integration tools in modern applications. At the platform's core are two key components: the CLI, which simplifies project development and management, and the JavaScript SDK, which provides essential tools for building blockchain applications. The CLI manages platform resources, enables the creation of new dApps or smart contract sets from templates, and supports interactions with smart contracts, such as contract deployment. Meanwhile, other packages on the platform offer additional tools specifically for dApp development.
For businesses, SettleMint’s SDK provides a secure and efficient way to integrate blockchain technology into existing operations. Meeting enterprise security, reliability, and scalability standards enables companies to confidently build blockchain applications, ensuring seamless operations and long-term sustainability. The platform simplifies blockchain adoption by offering structured tools that reduce complexity, shorten development time, and allow organizations to focus on creating value rather than overcoming technical challenges.
For IT developers, the SDK delivers essential tools that enhance productivity and make blockchain application development more accessible. The CLI speeds up project setup, resource management, and smart contract interactions, making building and deploying blockchain solutions easier. The JavaScript SDK equips developers with the necessary components to create decentralized applications efficiently while maintaining flexibility and control. By combining these tools, the platform enables developers to concentrate on innovation without being slowed down by infrastructure complexities.
Blockchain Transformation connects people, processes, and technology to accelerate value creation with blockchain. It is not just about introducing new technology but also about helping people understand and use it effectively while establishing the necessary processes that empower them to drive meaningful outcomes. The SDK represents our commitment to making blockchain technology accessible to development teams across industries.

Future Development
SettleMint maintains an active development roadmap for the SDK, with plans to expand its capabilities based on community feedback and emerging blockchain technologies. The project's open-source nature under the FSL Software License encourages community contributions.
The Functional Source License (FSL) is a non-compete license that restricts commercial use in competing products but allows modification and distribution. It is designed for SaaS companies that value both user freedom and developer sustainability and automatically converts to MIT or Apache 2.0 after two years, ensuring open-source conversion. Contributors' work remains under FSL for two years before becoming fully open-source, while enterprise users must wait for the conversion to use it commercially in competing services.
Our development team focuses on enhancing existing packages while adding new features to support current and evolving blockchain needs. This includes updating documentation, integration capabilities, and supporting new emerging blockchain protocols.
