Three-Tier Architecture
Validators, hosts and gateways run as separate tiers, live on the testnet.
Smart Engines V3 represents more than a technical achievement—it’s a fundamental shift in how blockchain applications are built and deployed. By solving the multi-chain development challenge, we’re building the base for a new generation of applications that operate across blockchain ecosystems. Today Hedera and XRPL are live, on a testnet run by HSuite-operated validators.
After three years of development and two years of mainnet operation on Hedera, Smart Engines V3 is built and running on its testnet:
Three-Tier Architecture
Validators, hosts and gateways run as separate tiers, live on the testnet.
Security Without Compromise
Keys are created by DKG and exist only as shares. The whole key is never assembled, at rest or while signing.
Off-Chain Rule Checks
Rule checks run off-chain, so they pay no on-chain execution fees.
Multi-Chain
Hedera and XRPL Live Stellar, Polkadot, Solana and Bitcoin Coming next Ethereum and Polygon Postponed
Unlike traditional cross-chain solutions, Smart Engines:
| Traditional Bridges | Smart Engines |
|---|---|
| Single point of failure | Distributed threshold sigs |
| Wrapped token dependencies | Native chain operations |
| Complex attack surfaces | Isolated chain security |
| Minutes to hours latency | The chain’s own confirmation time plus a signing round |
| Token transfer only | Accounts, tokens, NFTs and rules |
The stages run in order, with no dates:

The testnet opens to developers once the security audit is complete. The SDK is on npm today:
npm install @hsuite/smart-engines-sdkimport { BaasClient, xrplWalletFundWith } from '@hsuite/smart-engines-sdk';
const baas = await BaasClient.connectToCluster({ network: 'testnet', appId: 'app_abc' });
// The chain is a parameter. XRPL is live; more chains come next.const { ruleRef } = await baas.rules.publish(myAccountRule);const account = await baas.entities.createAccount({ chain: 'xrpl', ruleRef, fundWith: xrplWalletFundWith(wallet),});Node-runner slots are not open to the public yet. See Run a node for how joining will work.
HSUITE is the platform’s utility token, issued on XRPL. See Tokenomics for its supply, fees and burns.
Build on Smart Engines, or integrate it into your platform.
The future of blockchain isn’t about picking winners among chains—it’s about building infrastructure that makes them all work together. Smart Engines is that infrastructure.
We’re not just another blockchain project. We’re the bridge between blockchain’s fragmented past and its collaborative future.
The core is built and live on the testnet on Hedera and XRPL. Next come the security audit and opening the testnet to developers.
Join us in building the multi-chain future.
