IOHK, the company behind the Cardano blockchain, has announced the launch of the new Plutus Playground. The playground represents a new testing environment enabling developers to write and deploy test versions of Plutus smart contracts for Cardano.
Developers can now test Plutus smart contracts on Cardano
With Cardano’s Goguen phase set to see the light of day later this year, major work is being done on bringing about developers that would utilize Cardano’s smart contract functionality. IOHK, the company behind Cardano, has just launched its Plutus Playground, a testing environment that enables developers to write and deploy test versions of their Plutus smart contracts on Cardano.
Plutus Core, Cardano’s native programming language, is based on the Haskell programming principles and allows developers to write high-assurance applications that interact with the blockchain. IOHK explained that they chose Haskell as the basis for the Plutus Platform due to its ability to write more secure code.
By offering a simple to understand and highly-secure programming language, the company wants to attract developers that create decentralized applications for supply chains, track and trace, medical records, identity voting, property registration, P2P payments, and financial systems. Aside from serving entrepreneurs and the Cardano community, the wide variety of dApps are also set to attract large companies and governments to Cardano.
