Cardano smart contracts are just better.
eUTxOs, native tokens, deterministic transaction fees, verifiably secure and never been hacked…
But adoption has been limited by their complexity and by the lack of skills and intelligence in the developer population required to create them.
Now a.i. writes Cardano smart contracts.
Enormous skills and high intelligence are no longer required to write Cardano smart contracts.
The main barrier to entry is gone.
a.i. just made it possible for average developers to participate in the ecosystem.
This matters because there are a lot more average developers than there are exceptional developers. So when the word gets out that you can have all the benefits of Cardano smart contracts with no more difficulty than you have with any other blockchain, we will have a flood of new developers joining our community.
a.i. just increased the use, utility, and value of Cardano by making it possible for the population of average developers to participate. The price ADA will surely go up as more people learn to use a.i. for Cardano smart contract development.
Regular a.i. isn’t enough.
Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and all the rest have a lot of trouble writing Cardano smart contracts just like average people do.
But Mesh is here to help.
The magic is found here:
Give your AI coding assistant deep knowledge of Mesh SDK for faster Cardano development - works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 37+ tools
These documents about building Cardano smart contracts are specially written for a.i. to consume. This makes it possible for average developers with the help of average a.i. to easily write smart contracts for Cardano
I use this with Claude Code in the VS Code IDE.
We have a lot of wonderful courses on Cardano smart contract development but none yet which show how a.i. can be set up and used to do most of the development.
Perhaps that should be a priority.
The faster we can get the educational material out, the sooner we can attract the enormous population of average developers to our community.
