IOHK lowers barriers to entry for smart contracts with Marlowe Playground.
IOHK, the company behind the Cardano blockchain, has made a major stride towards bringing smart contract functionality to the platform.
In a press release shared with CryptoSlate, the company announced the launch of Marlowe Playground, an easy-to-use application building platform for Cardano.
What makes Marlowe Playground special is the fact that the platform is aimed at those with little programming experience, allowing almost anyone to build and test financial smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain.
Aside from allowing users to write smart contracts, Marlowe Playground will also enable them to perform simulations and formally verify and test smart contracts.
The company said that the rollout of Marlowe Playground's Alpha version is the key part of the ongoing delivery of smart contract functionality on Cardano, with the entire process set to take place within the next few months.
Aparna Jue, the product director at IOHK, said that the company hopes to empower a new generation of developers to create game-changing financial applications by lowering the barrier for entry to Cardano.
Parallel to the launch of Marlowe Playground, IOHK also announced the winners of its $10,000 hackathon.
