🧵 Enabling real-world use cases at scale on the #SingularityNET platform via creating a MeTTa-based DSLs focused on smart contract programming in specific industry verticals.

#BuildingOnSNET #AI #Cardano

2/ Smart contract scripting can be tricky, so it’s essential to design a developer-friendly framework to build applications and solutions without compromising on security.

3/ On #Ethereum, a “copy &paste” culture has emerged, where developers copy and tweak existing Solidity code. However, this approach is unsustainable in a software ecosystem powered by tools with reasonable composability.

4/ On the other hand, #Haskell provides powerful composability but remains relatively opaque to most developers without a background in functional programming or related mathematics.

5/ An alternate approach is the creation of domain-specific languages (DSLs) that only provide developers with the blockchain-related functions required by their applications. IOHK’s #Marlowe DSL is a pioneer in this approach.

6/ #Marlowe can scale to millions of users and sustain a high transaction rate. However, it presents some drawbacks when it comes to achieving scalability in modern #DeFi applications and comes with certain domain-specific —in this case, finance— restrictions.

7/ This illustrates the need for a framework that can remove these impediments and enables rapid updating and modification of DSLs within a highly flexible base language, namely the MeTTa (Meta Type Talk) #AGI programming language.

8/ @OpenCog 's MeTTa provides an elegant approach for enabling broad usability by creating low or no-code applications & algorithm-based DSLs focused on smart contract programming in specific vertical areas.

9/ The abstract nature of MeTTa lends itself well to the templatization of this process, making smart contract development simple and usable for the average product developer without sacrificing security, robustness, or capability.

10/ While #Marlowe pioneered this approach in the #Cardano ecosystem, MeTTa allows for even greater flexibility and ensures developers have the functionalities needed to create powerful applications.

11/ Therefore, this approach not only allows for more efficient and secure coding practices but also simplifies smart contract development. By utilizing MeTTa, developers can focus on building their applications without worrying about the technicalities of Plutus and MeTTa.

12/ #SingularityNET is excited to share that the integration of MeTTa into Plutus is already under active development in the context of @Hypercycle_AI, a massively scalable, easily usable and richly and smoothly interoperable sidechain.
