It's engineered to support DApp developers with the tools they need to build and integrate with the Marlowe smart contract ecosystem on the Cardano blockchain. + +## Features at a glance + +1. **Smart contract toolkit**: Craft, deploy, and manage Marlowe smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain with the tools and libraries in the TS-SDK. +2. **Integration with Marlowe Playground**: The TS-SDK works well with the Marlowe Playground, an online interface dedicated to designing, simulating, and scrutinizing Marlowe contracts. +3. **Wallet connectivity**: With built-in modules, the TS-SDK promotes smooth interactions with various wallet extensions. This ensures easy access to wallet data and the efficient integration of Marlowe contracts with a variety of wallet interfaces. +4. **Proof-of-concept (PoC) templates**: Embark on your DApp journey using the TS-SDK's distilled example templates. These PoC templates serve as launching pads for your customized applications. + +## Getting started +To use the capabilities of the Marlowe TS-SDK, you will need to have a URL to a running instance of the Marlowe Runtime and a compatible wallet extension installed in your browser. Please refer to the **[Marlowe starter kit](https://github.com/input-output-hk/marlowe-starter-kit)** for guidance about accessing a running instance of the Runtime. + +## PoC templates + +- **[Marlowe payouts DApp](https://github.com/input-output-hk/marlowe-payouts)**: Engineered with the Marlowe TS-SDK, this DApp offers a streamlined approach to discerning and extracting payouts from Marlowe contracts on the Cardano blockchain. With a commitment to user experience, it ensures intuitive interactions and unhindered connectivity to the Cardano network. +- **[Vesting prototype repo](https://github.com/input-output-hk/marlowe-vesting)**: Manages the phased allocation of shares over a designated time frame. Users can easily retrieve shares upon vesting. Tailored for projects that require the following sorts of capabilities: + - Tokenomics orchestration + - Timed fund safeguards + - Pre-planned fund distributions to diverse stakeholders. + +- **[Vesting prototype example](https://github.com/input-output-hk/marlowe-ts-sdk/blob/main/pocs/contract-example/vesting-flow.html)**: Shows you a concrete instance of how to use the vesting prototype repo and the kinds of use cases it enables.
