Performance optimization often comes down to identifying subtle inefficiencies in the generated code. While reviewing the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) Core of the production evaluator, the Input | Output (IO) Plutus team discovered that a key function, safeIndexOne, was not getting inlined and was introducing unnecessary laziness. By addressing strictness ...
Cardano is an open-source, proof-of-stake, public blockchain, the first to be founded on peer-reviewed research and development through evidence-based methods. This approach positions Cardano uniquely among other blockchain platforms. A set of the best practices, ideas, and research contributions formed Cardano’s foundation for building a secure, decentraliz...

Input Output Global and MLabs are collaborating on developing a reference implementation of an auction using Hydra protocols. The first outcome of this collaboration is a paper outlining possible approaches to the implementation of digital asset auctions using the Hydra Head protocol with respective advantages and current limitations. This post int...
Cardano features some of the most innovative elements of blockchain technology: Hydra and Mithril, for example – layer 2 solutions designed to enhance scalability. Or Cardano’s proof-of-stake consensus protocol, Ouroboros, whose various 'flavors' (Genesis, Praos, Peras, etc) ensure that the blockchain remains efficient and secure even under adversarial condi...
In one of her most recent interviews, Christina Gianelloni, COO of Blink Labs, founding member of PRAGMA, and one of the most respected figures in the Cardano development ecosystem on her own merits (former Developer Relations Lead on the Gentoo Linux distro, and the impressive history in a career of over two decades in technology continues), describes exact...
What do Martin Lawrence, Snoop Dogg, and emerging artists have in common? To advance their careers, they are at the mercy of someone else\*.\* In an interview, Snoop once commented that, in the music business, it takes an artist approximately 35 years to get back the masters of his work, and therefore the governance over his profits and the use of his work.

A few months ago we successfully developed a series of standard contracts in Aiken, which offer solutions to use cases without a significant number of moving parts.
Currently, we are expanding our collection of Aiken contracts to cover more complex use cases. One such contract approaches the well-known NFT vending machine problem. Although a seemingly simpl...

The Escrow contract is the trusted intermediary that allows two parties to safely exchange assets, holding them until both parties agree and sign the Tx. Let’s try it!
To do so, you’ll need two preprod wallets (to simulate the two parties in agreement).
