rapid Plutus Application Development
rPAD

A rapid application development platform that streamlines the creation of Plutus smart contracts and dApps on Cardano. To be built by Bernard Sibanda and an experienced Coxygen Global team and fully open‑sourced under the MIT license. Since 2024, we have been researching on this project.

Objectives:
  • Seamless Integration: Any static website can connect to Cardano
  • Simple Deployment: DApps run on popular shared Linux hostings
  • Rapid Prototyping: Development and testing time drastically reduced
  • Cost Efficiency: Lower fees for users and builders
  • Performance: Fast transactions for smooth UX
Problem

Plutus development is slow and complex

Documentation gaps and fragmented tooling stall developer velocity.

The current development lifecycle for Plutus applications is slow and complex, making it challenging for developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) on Cardano quickly.
Solution

rPAD – Pheidippides

A rapid development platform for Plutus smart contracts and dApps.

RAD for Plutus

Delphi‑style speed for Cardano: generate, test, and ship dApps quickly.

30+ Templates

From Hello World to AMMs, DAOs, Derivatives – copy, tweak, deploy.

Docs that Teach

Haddock simplified. Step‑by‑step tutorials and practical examples.

Quality Built‑in

Integrated test harnesses, QA reports, and deployment logs.

Preprod Ready

Deploy to Cardano test networks with one streamlined flow.

Drop‑in Integrations

Blockfrost + Helios out of the box. Extend as you grow.
