Plutus smart contracts are executable programs written for the Cardano blockchain, utilizing the Haskell programming language and its Plutus Platform. These contracts enable complex, verifiable, and secure decentralized applications within the Cardano ecosystem. Plutus provides a robust framework for defining the logic and rules governing digital asset interactions. Its functional programming approach aims for high assurance and correctness.
Context
