SettleMint offers a high level of abstraction without limiting control. It accelerates enterprise blockchain adoption with a full-stack low-code development environment, built-in protocol support (Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, etc.), smart contract lifecycle tools, and robust middleware for integration.
It simplifies the entire lifecycle from development to production deployment, making blockchain projects faster to implement, easier to scale, and cost-efficient to maintain.
2. What blockchain protocols are supported by SettleMint?
SettleMint supports a wide variety of blockchain protocols:
- Private Networks - Hyperledger Besu, Hyperledger Fabric and Quorum.
- Layer 1 Public Networks - Ethereum, Avalanche, Hedera and Fantom.
- Layer 2 Public Networks - Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, Optimism, Arbitrum and Soneium.
The platform's extensibility allows onboarding of additional protocols based on project requirements.
3. How does SettleMint simplify smart contract development and deployment?
SettleMint provides:
- A contract IDE for authoring Solidity or chaincode
- Templates and reusable libraries
- One-click deployment to any supported network
- Version control and upgrade lifecycle management
- Auto-generated GraphQL and REST APIs
- Event binding and subscription to smart contract logs
These tools reduce development effort while providing deep control over contract logic.
4. Can SettleMint integrate with existing enterprise systems?
Yes. SettleMint offers:
- Middleware connectors
- SDKs for languages like JavaScript, Python, and Java
- Integration studio
- Zero config APIs
This enables seamless integration with legacy systems, workflows, and data pipelines.
5. How does SettleMint manage identity and access control?
Identity and access are managed using:
- RBAC (Role-Based Access Control): Assign roles across apps, nodes, and contracts
- Membership Service Providers: Especially in Fabric networks for certificate-based access
- API Gateways with Auth: Support for JWT, OAuth2, and API keys
- On-chain permissions: Smart contracts can enforce ACLs for method calls
Security is enforced across both infrastructure and app layers.

Yes, SettleMint provides observability features including:
- Real-time logs from smart contracts and nodes
- Transaction explorer and state diffing tools
- Metrics dashboards for node health and API usage
- Subgraph query monitoring
- Alerts and triggers on transaction or performance failures
These capabilities help developers maintain SLAs and proactively resolve issues.
7. What kind of deployment environments does SettleMint support?
SettleMint supports:
- Hosted environments managed by SettleMint for rapid prototyping
- Self-hosted Kubernetes or cloud-native deployments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- On-premise installations for highly regulated industries
- Multi-region support for high availability and compliance needs
The platform abstracts DevOps complexity while maintaining flexibility.
