Translucent is a library, which allows you to create Cardano transactions and off-chain code for your Plutus contracts in JavaScript.
Translucent forks from Lucid and makes major breaking changes.
Development happens in bun. We use bun build:wasm, bun test. If you want to contribute to translucent, please do so with bun. Translucent can be used from any other js runtime.
npm install translucent-cardano
Use polyfills to make translucent run in the browser.
(these polyfills are preliminary and we should package translucent for the browser)
