SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cardano developers often grapple with low-level primitives for serialization, address resolution, Plutus data handling, and script parameterization. Mesh Core CST bundles these utilities under a single API surface to streamline building, testing, and debugging Cardano integrations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resolvers for data hashes, addresses, and script references to accelerate data extraction and validation.
  • Serialization utilities to encode/decode transaction bodies, scripts, and CBOR data for on-chain interactions.
  • CIP-8 message signing and verification to support secure wallet interactions in custom workflows.
  • Plutus tools for applying parameters to scripts, normalizing encodings, and converting between PlutusData, JSON, and CBOR.
  • Address and data utilities to parse, compose, and convert Cardano addresses and datum representations for dApp integrations.

Quick Start

Install the MeshCoreCst package and start using its utilities in your Cardano project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I serialize and decode CBOR transaction bodies for Cardano?

You can serialize and decode Cardano transaction bodies using low-level utilities that encode and decode CBOR data, streamlining the building and debugging of on-chain interactions.

What is the best way to convert between PlutusData, JSON, and CBOR?

The best way to convert between PlutusData, JSON, and CBOR is using Plutus tooling that normalizes encodings and applies parameters to scripts, accelerating data extraction and validation in Cardano ecosystems.

How do I implement CIP-8 message signing and verification for Cardano wallets?

You can implement CIP-8 message signing and verification to support secure wallet interactions in custom workflows, using structured APIs that expose low-level Cardano utilities for data signing.

Do I need to know TypeScript and Plutus data formats to use Cardano address resolution utilities?

Yes, you need familiarity with TypeScript/JavaScript, CBOR, Plutus data formats, and Cardano primitives to effectively use address resolution utilities that parse, compose, and convert Cardano addresses for dApp integrations.

How do I apply parameters to Plutus scripts in a Cardano dApp?

You can apply parameters to Plutus scripts by using dedicated Plutus tools that normalize encodings and handle data conversion, streamlining script parameterization for Cardano integrations.

What Cardano utilities can resolve data hashes, addresses, and script references?

Cardano utilities provide resolvers specifically for data hashes, addresses, and script references, accelerating data extraction and validation across serialization and address resolution tasks in Cardano development.
