In this tutorial we'll be running an end-to-end example of how to build and execute a Cardano validator (aka: smart contract) using only Aiken and the Cardano node cli.
The TUTORIAL.ipynb file is a Jupyter notebook that will guide you through the process of:
- making some changes to our Aiken code
- compiling our Aiken code into UPLC
- locking some tADA from our wallet into the script address
- un-locking that tADA back into our wallet
- Cardano node connected to a testnet
cardano-cli
- Aiken toolchain (https://aiken-lang.org)
- Jupyter notebooks
(or you can use https://demeter.run for a cloud-based development environment with all of the above already available)
