Coinscrum Presents: Cardano's Plutus Smart Contract Environment

On 4th March, Coinscrum created a joint event with Cardano, to introduce the recently launched Plutus & Marlowe Smart Contract tools.

The Plutus platform is a general purpose functional programming environment for third-generation blockchains, such as Cardano.

Plutus draws from modern language research to provide a safe, full-stack programming environment based on Haskell, the leading purely functional programming language.

Marlowe is a domain specific language that provides domain experts in functional contracts an accessible, domain-specific environment.

IOHK and Cardano teams were proud to present Plutus and Marlowe to the world and are keen to open up discussions with the broader development community and to get them involved in the future developments of the project, to share ideas and collaborate.

Two speakers from IOHK Professor Simon Thompson and Michael Peyton-Jones presented at the event. In this video, Simon gave an introduction to Marlowe, creating financial contracts on the blockchain.

– Simon Thompson – Professor of Logic and Computation

Simon Thompson is a researcher, author and teacher, and professor of logic and computation at the University of Kent. His research into functional programming covers verification, tool-building and testing for Erlang, Haskell and OCaml.

He is the author of books on type theory, Haskell and Erlang, and runs a MOOC about Erlang for FutureLearn.

He works with IOHK on domain-specific languages for Cardano..
