Decentralized applications (dApps) are becoming increasingly popular as more businesses and developers seek to leverage the benefits of decentralized networks such as blockchain. However, developing dApps can be complex and time-consuming. To simplify the process, developers can use frameworks that provide a set of tools and functionalities to test, compile, deploy and debug their applications. There are several popular frameworks for developing decentralized applications. In this article, we will explore the Cardano ecosystem and learn about the smart contract framework available to developers.
Cardano’s Plutus programming language is a high-level, functional programming language designed specifically for developing smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain. Plutus is based on the Haskell programming language, which is known for its mathematical precision and high degree of reliability.
