Autonomous Smart Contracts are a pioneering feature of the Massa blockchain. Unlike standard smart contracts that remain dormant until a user sends a transaction, Massa contracts can be scheduled to trigger themselves automatically based on time or specific on-chain events. This breakthrough eliminates the need for centralized third-party services or 'keeper bots' for automated tasks like liquidations, limit orders, or recurring payments, ensuring the process remains entirely decentralized.

Massa utilizes a unique 'parallel block' architecture called a multithreaded Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). This technology allows the network to produce multiple blocks simultaneously across different threads without conflicts. When combined with transaction sharding, Massa can process up to 10,000 transactions per second. Importantly, this high throughput is achieved without compromising decentralization, as the network is designed to run on accessible hardware rather than specialized data centers.

The Decentralized Web (DeWeb) is a feature that allows developers to host their website frontends directly on the Massa blockchain. By storing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files on-chain, the entire decentralized application (dApp)—not just the backend logic—becomes resistant to censorship and server outages. This ensures that users can interact with dApps without relying on centralized web hosting providers, making the application truly sovereign and permanent.

The MAS token serves as the native utility token for the Massa network. Its primary functions include paying for transaction fees and on-chain storage for files and smart contracts. Additionally, MAS is used for governance, allowing holders to vote on protocol updates. It is also central to the network's security through staking, where users buy 'Rolls' to participate in the Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism.

Massa features a unique staking model that does not support delegation; to stake, you must operate your own node. Users participate in the Proof-of-Stake consensus by purchasing 'Rolls' at a rate of 100 MAS per Roll. If your node goes offline and misses too many block production opportunities, the network automatically sells your Rolls to maintain security. Once your node is stable again, you must manually repurchase the Rolls to resume staking.

MAS can be traded on various platforms, including LBank and the native decentralized exchange, Dusa. To manage assets, users can use Massa Station, an all-in-one desktop application for wallet management and interacting with decentralized websites. For early participants, tokens can be claimed via the official vesting portal. The project also provides the Massa Bridge for moving assets across different networks to earn yield within the ecosystem.
