From Term to Script: How PlutusType Drives Plutarch
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.
Do You Even PLift? Bridging Haskell & Plutarch with PLiftable for Efficient On-Chain Data
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.
