What is Scrypto?

Scrypto is an open-source smart contract language for the public Radix network. Scrypto is rethinking the way smart contracts are built, ultimately enabling developers to build secure and robust DeFi dApps (decentralized applications) that users can rely on – spending most of their time and code on features without worrying to lose money.
