Plutus, the Cardano-based smart contract environment, is now launched in devnet.
As soon as the Goguen phase of Cardano goes live in the mainnet, it will be able to onboard smart contracts for decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.
In this regard, based on the report published by IOHK, users are invited to deploy their contracts in the Plutus Playground environment.

IOHK tweeted, “OUT NOW: Introducing the new Plutus Playground, an environment for writing and testing smart contracts before deploying to Cardano when Plutus hits mainnet later this year. Today, as we continue the Goguen rollout, we’re announcing new dev tools & refreshed UI.
“We’re calling on devs to get involved and help us finalize the playground as we head closer to primetime. To find out more, access the links, and also register your interest for our developer programs, you’ll find all you need right here.”
Details of the Development
According to IOHK, the software company led by Charles Hoskinson, the new testing environment Plutus Playground is up and running. Based on Haskell principles, it allows all developers to write and deploy test versions of their smart contracts for Cardano (ADA).
The new release of Plutus Playground requires no additional installations as it works directly in a browser. IOHK added tutorials on writing and compiling Cardano’s smart contracts.
Additionally, there’s an implementation of a new user interface to improve the developer experience of writing smart contracts for Cardano (ADA).
Such as all of Cardano’s previous Goguen devnets, Plutus Playground includes editor, simulator, and transaction modes. While editor mode allows the coder to write and edit software, the simulator displays the behavior of the smart contract on the Cardano (ADA) blockchain. All transactions related to the activity of certain smart contracts are also displayed with mainnet-like configurations.

Basically, Cardano’s Plutus Playground targets governments, ADA holders, companies of all sizes, and entrepreneurs as the observers of its experiments.
The launch of Plutus Playground paves the way for the Goguen era, a stage at which Cardano, as a fully decentralized blockchain, will start running smart contracts.
