Why Marlowe?
-
Accessible & Flexible: With a low barrier to entry and dedicated libraries for TypeScript (opens in a new tab), Rust (opens in a new tab) and others, Marlowe lets you quickly learn and create smart contracts on the fly.
-
Built-In Security: Marlowe’s comprehensive validation tools and inherent safety features significantly reduce audit overhead, making it a secure choice for DApp development and implementation of financial smart contracts.
-
Seamless Integration: Our Runtime abstracts the complexities of the Cardano UTxO model, ensuring smooth deployment and easy interaction with your contracts.
