NEW CASHSCRIPT PLAYGROUND MOCKNET

The CashScript Playground, an online IDE for writing CashScript smart contracts, has introduced a new ‘MockNet’ option. This feature allows users to create virtual UTXOs and validate smart contract transactions locally, providing precise error messages that map between high and low-level operations. The addition of MockNet is significant, as no other tooling for Bitcoin-like blockchains currently offers this developer experience. The CashScript Playground, inspired by Ethereum’s Remix, enables users to easily import/export contract Artifacts, test new versions of CashScript code, and create multiple contract instances with different arguments, streamlining the smart contract development process.
