# Saga Overview

### Introduction

Saga is a protocol for automatically provisioning application-specific blockchains. We are building this by rearchitecting developer and end user interactions with blockchains. Using shared security, innovations in validator orchestration, and an automated deployment pipeline, Saga makes launching a dedicated blockchain, or Chainlet, as easy as deploying a smart contract. Our network is best leveraged as a scalability layer for `web3` infrastructure.
