In this post, discover how PLiftable seamlessly translates Haskell types into Plutarch terms, giving you clear, efficient on-chain data representations. We’ll walk through builtin, SOP, and Data encodings—showing you how to write reversible, performant conversions that boost the reliability and performance of your Cardano scripts.

In this post, discover how to push Haskell’s performance boundaries by using SWAR (“SIMD Within A Register”) techniques to validate ASCII data in bulk. You’ll see how packing bytes into registers—using bit masking to flag non-ASCII values in parallel—and unrolling loops to leverage the CPU’s superscalar engine both drive down overhead. By the end, we'll transfer a simple foldl'-based ASCII detecting function into a version running 10x faster.

In this post, discover how quasiquoters overcome three key smart-constructor limitations—compile-time errors, lack of pattern matching, and fixed syntax—by leveraging Template Haskell to produce both expressions and patterns with familiar, literal syntax.

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.

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.

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.

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.
