I’m considering to refactor my RWA dApp prototype on Solana to ICP. Should I keep the smart contracts in Rust or use Maroko?

What should I watch out for? Any tools? Guides,repos, codebase etc.

What are the differences of having a prototype and production ready dApp for RWA on ICP? Any guides?

TIA

I’d go with rust. Frontier LLMs in expended thinking mode are extremely good these days at porting a codebase from one language to another particularly if the target language is widely used (and especially if you have robust test coverage). Give that a go and then review and tweak the resulting code yourself - that would be my recommendation.
