Smart Contracts

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Coxygen Global Pty Ltd has created the library and it is found here https://github.com/wimsio/coxygen/tree/main/coxylib

The aim is moving this useful library to broader communities, improving on it and creating real life applications with it. This means the need for stable version, auditing UI/UX and marketing.

What is Coxylib.js?

Coxylib.js is a lightweight JavaScript library designed to simplify the process of developing decentralized applications (DApps) on the Cardano blockchain. It provides a collection of atomic, reusable functions that reduce the complexity involved in working with Cardano’s smart contract ecosystem, specifically leveraging Helios. By offering a simplified interface and pre-built functionalities, Coxylib.js addresses the steep learning curve developers face when working with Plutus smart contracts, ultimately accelerating DApp development and improving accessibility.

Key Features of Coxylib.js:

• Atomic Functions for Smart Contract Interaction: Coxylib.js delivers testable atomic functions for common Cardano blockchain interactions, such as minting tokens, locking/unlocking assets, and handling UTXOs. These functions enable developers to build and test contract logic quickly and efficiently without needing deep knowledge of the underlying infrastructure.

• Helios Integration: The library is built on top of Helios, a high-performance, type-safe, and easy-to-use smart contract language for Cardano. Helios provides low-level primitives for smart contract development, while Coxylib.js simplifies the process by offering intuitive abstractions that help developers avoid common pitfalls.

• No Need for Complex Dependencies: Unlike traditional development environments that require heavy dependencies such as npm or Node.js, Coxylib.js is designed to work in lightweight environments, including static websites and platforms like cPanel. This reduces the setup time and infrastructure overhead for developers.

• Improved Developer Experience: With built-in testing, profiling, and error handling through Jimba.js, developers can ensure code quality, trace bugs, and log transactions with minimal effort. The console logging system in Coxylib.js can be switched on or off, providing flexibility for different environments (development vs. production).

• Client-Side DApp Development: Coxylib.js is built for 100% client-side DApp development, allowing developers to build and deploy applications directly in the browser without backend servers or complex infrastructure.

• Open Source & MIT License: The project will be fully open-source under the MIT license, encouraging community collaboration and allowing developers to freely modify and extend the library to meet their specific needs.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

The development and release of Coxylib.js will have a significant and far-reaching positive impact on the Cardano community by addressing current development challenges, fostering innovation, and promoting blockchain adoption. Here are some key ways Coxylib.js will contribute to the wider Cardano ecosystem:

• Lowering the Barrier to Entry: Cardano's smart contract platform, based on Plutus and Haskell, presents a steep learning curve for developers. Coxylib.js simplifies Cardano DApp development by offering reusable atomic functions and integrating with Helios, making it accessible to developers who may not be familiar with Plutus or Haskell. This will encourage more developers to enter the ecosystem, accelerating the growth of the Cardano development community.

• Faster Development of DApps: Coxylib.js will drastically reduce the time and effort required to develop decentralized applications on Cardano. By providing pre-built, modular functions that handle common blockchain interactions like minting tokens, locking assets, and managing UTXOs, developers can focus on building the core logic of their DApps. This will lead to faster iterations, allowing more applications to be deployed on Cardano, driving ecosystem growth.

• Supporting Open-Source Collaboration: Coxylib.js will be released as an open-source project under the MIT license, encouraging contributions from the global Cardano developer community. Open-source collaboration will foster a culture of shared learning and development, enabling the library to grow rapidly and adapt to the evolving needs of the ecosystem. By empowering developers to contribute to the project, Coxylib.js will enhance the collective knowledge and capabilities of the Cardano community.

• Enabling Innovation: With the streamlined development process provided by Coxylib.js, developers will be able to prototype, test, and launch innovative solutions faster. This will lead to a diverse range of applications being built on Cardano, from decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to NFT marketplaces, governance systems, and more. The ease of building complex DApps will stimulate creativity and encourage experimentation, positioning Cardano as a hub of blockchain innovation.

• Fostering Adoption Across Industries: Coxylib.js will not only impact developers but also extend to businesses and organizations that want to adopt blockchain technology. By making DApp development more accessible and efficient, the library will help onboard a wider range of industries, from finance and supply chain management to healthcare and education, onto the Cardano blockchain. This will contribute to the broader adoption of Cardano as a secure, scalable, and efficient blockchain platform.

• Empowering Smaller Teams and Developers: By simplifying complex tasks, Coxylib.js levels the playing field for smaller developer teams or independent developers, enabling them to build competitive, high-quality DApps without needing large development resources. This democratization of development will ensure that Cardano remains inclusive, allowing talent from diverse backgrounds to contribute to and benefit from the ecosystem.
