Description
Build Smart Contracts on Cardano — The Right Way
Smart contracts are transforming the way we build decentralized systems, and Cardano is leading the charge with Aiken — a modern, fast, and developer-friendly language for writing powerful on-chain scripts. I Can Aiken is your definitive companion for mastering this cutting-edge platform.
Designed for developers new to Cardano, this book walks you through the evolution of smart contracts, comparing Bitcoin’s script, Ethereum’s Solidity, and Cardano’s own eUTxO model. The first half demystifies core concepts like scripting layers and account models — knowledge essential for anyone building on blockchain.
The second half gets practical, guiding you through hands-on examples using Aiken. You’ll write simple validators, understand key features of the language, and gain the confidence to build your own decentralized applications.
Whether you’re prepping for Cardano’s CBCA certification or just eager to dive into smart contract development, I Can Aiken will equip you with the tools, context, and code to do it right.
