Simplify Cardano infrastructure deployment with cardano.nix—an open-source NixOS solution that provisions nodes, indexers, and monitoring in minutes. Declarative configuration replaces complex DevOps, enabling reproducible, production-ready Cardano environments with comprehensive testing and automated documentation.

Explore MLabs’ Catalyst Fund 14 proposals advancing Cardano: FeesaSwap fee abstraction, Playrz P2P gaming, TrustSwap launchpad integration, Hydra auctions, and developer tools like Covenant path analysis and CTL JS/TS. Proven delivery since Fund 9—back MLabs to grow users, builders, and real utility.

Since Fund 7, MLabs has shipped core Cardano tooling totaling 30+ successfully completed projects: the Yielding Transaction Pattern library, Plutarch, robust test suites, Covenant research, and more. Explore the proof of delivery and what’s next in Fund 14.

In this post, discover how PlutusType provides the Monad-like interface at the heart of Plutarch, bridging low-level Term abstractions to deploy Plutus Core scripts. We unpack the internals of the Term type, explore both manual and via-deriving PlutusType instances, and show you how to write composable, type-safe on-chain logic.

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.
