Expand description

Simplified Cardano (Conway-era) transaction types, optimized for JSON I/O over web APIs.

§Design

  • Addresses are bech32 strings (addr1…, stake1…). No on-chain bytes parsing here.
  • Hashes / key-hashes / asset names are hex-encoded strings (no 0x prefix).
  • Amounts (lovelace, native-token quantities, mint quantities) are serialized as JSON strings to avoid 2^53 precision loss in JS clients.
  • PlutusData serializes to CSL’s DetailedSchema, so the JSON can be fed directly to cardano-serialization-lib’s PlutusData::from_json(_, DetailedSchema) (or whisky’s WData::JSON(...).to_cbor()).
  • Field naming is camelCase throughout.

§Scope

Types only — no CBOR, no signing, no balancing. Designed to be the on-the-wire shape that a frontend / API exchanges with a builder backend.

Modules§

address
Bech32-encoded address types and on-chain credentials.
cert
Conway-era certificates: stake registration/delegation, pool ops, DRep ops, committee ops.
plutus
PlutusData — JSON shape matches cardano-serialization-lib’s PlutusDatumSchema::DetailedSchema.
primitives
Primitive aliases, hex-string newtypes, and serde helpers for big-number stringification.
script
Native scripts (multisig/timelock) and Plutus scripts.
tx
Transaction inputs, outputs, mint, withdrawals, certs, and the full body.
value
Multi-asset value (ADA + native tokens).
