SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provide cryptographic primitives and token operations, and time utilities for Compact smart contracts to accelerate secure development without reinventing foundational components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cryptographic primitives: persistentHash, persistentCommit, ecAdd, ecMul for cross-contract security and commitments.
  • Token and asset workflows: mintToken, send, receive, mergeCoin to manage a UTXO-style token lifecycle.
  • Type-safe data handling: Maybe, Either patterns for robust error handling and optional values.
  • Time and scheduling: blockTime, blockTimeBefore, blockTimeAfter for deadlines and time-based logic.

Quick Start

Import CompactStandardLibrary and begin using persistentCommit, persistentHash, ecAdd, ecMul, Maybe, Either, mintToken, receive, and blockTime in your circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions about compact-core:standard-library

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement cryptographic commitments for Compact smart contracts?▼

Cryptographic commitments for Compact smart contracts are implemented using persistentCommit and persistentHash functions, enabling cross-transaction stable commitments and domain-separated hashing for secure on-chain development.

Can I manage a UTXO-style token lifecycle in Compact without writing custom logic?▼

Managing a UTXO-style token lifecycle in Compact is possible using built-in mintToken, send, receive, and mergeCoin operations, handling token minting, transfers, and coin merging without custom logic.

How do I enforce time-based controls and deadlines in Compact contracts?▼

Time-based controls and deadlines in Compact contracts are enforced using blockTime, blockTimeBefore, and blockTimeAfter utilities, providing transaction timing constraints for time-locked functions and scheduling logic.

What is the best way to handle optional values and errors in Compact smart contracts?▼

Handling optional values and errors in Compact smart contracts is done using type-safe Maybe and Either patterns, providing robust functional error handling for data that may be absent or fail validation.

Does this standard library support elliptic curve operations for cross-contract security?▼

Elliptic curve operations for cross-contract security are supported through ecAdd and ecMul primitives, enabling secure cryptographic operations within Compact smart contract circuits.
