Steem is a blockchain that offers some features not yet sufficiently explored by the community. One of these features that has caught my attention since I joined this community is its ability to interact with side-chains. It has been more than 6 years since Ned's post where he explained this concept. However, it has hardly been used since then.
One of the most advanced projects on the subject was "SteemSmartContracts" thanks to which the multiple Steem communities were able to tokenize their projects and applications through Steem-Engine.
Currently these projects are abandoned, or practically abandoned, and hardly any new developments are made in side-chain protocols.
As a developer I have always been passionate about this topic and as a Steem Witness I feel obliged to revisit it. I believe that Steem can still prove its great worth thanks to these features.
I am currently working on an adaptation of "SteemSmartContracts" and in my roadmap I have these goals:
- Create a new sidechain maintained by current Steem Witnesses and again offering FT and NFT token creation and management services.
- Publication of tutorials for the development of smart contracts for Steem.
- Publication of tutorials for the development of applications that communicate with sidechains and their smart contracts.
Request for support
Deploying and maintaining this kind of projects entails a series of important expenses, in addition to the development and documentation time. For this reason I ask for the support of the community, as well as the support of Steemit inc. with your votes to keep me in the top of Witnesses and to be able to cover, even partially, all the costs involved.

Thank you very much! ❤️🫂
Support me as your Steem Witness!
I have long wondered why this concept didn't get more traction. Seems like a no-brainer to me, fast & free transactions with no need for a specialized language.
Similarly, here's a related article from around the same time How Anyone can Build Custom Apps on Steem right Now!
Good luck with your implementation. I look forward to seeing it come to life.

It is all the more incomprehensible that these possibilities have not yet been implemented.
We have seen the beginnings of this with the Steem Punks (with costum-json-ops), or probably with the former Steem Monsters (before my time), but you can't really call it subchain.

Steem Monsters also used custom_json. Reportedly, Steem-engine is/was a side chain, but I never learned much about how that was implemented.
Also, there was pocket - and of course SMTs were supposedly ready to launch right before the Tron buyout and the subsequent controversy.
So much untapped potential, if someone could just harness the right mix of funding and skills. Hopefully, @marcosdk's initiative gets things moving in the right direction again.

This is very exciting news for me! Look forward to following along, and definitely interested in helping with sidechain and smart contract development.
I think the combination of gasless smart contracts, and not needing developers to learn Solidity, could be a winner.
