An Introduction to the Concepts Behind YTxP Architecture
Discover the core principles behind YTxP architecture—a robust approach to modeling Cardano protocols that streamlines smart contract upgrades and optimizes transaction efficiency. Explore how yielding scripts delegate validations to authorized scripts using state thread tokens, paving the way for secure and maintainable protocol designs.
Cardano Plomin Hard Fork - developer upgrade guide
Its an exciting time to be building on Cardano - the Plomin hard fork recently went live. While this exciting for governance and the roadmap ahead, in this guide I want to give a short summary on the major changes and things that Cardano dApp developers should look out for.
Testing dApps on Cardano with CLB emulator
Discover how to test dApps on Cardano using MLabs’ CLB emulator, a cutting-edge tool for property-based and mutation-based testing funded by Project Catalyst in Fund10. Learn about state machine modeling, unified testing with Atlas, and integration with CTL.
How Covenant Will Deliver You to the Promised Land (of Scripts)
Covenant introduces a Turner-total, call-by-push-value, serializable DSL designed for reliable, secure programming in domains like smart contracts. It guarantees termination, safe execution, and predictability. By serving as a target for higher-level tools, Covenant supports composability and serialization, enabling developers to create robust applications with confidence in correctness and performance.
