Tari Ootle Template Library Documentation

Welcome to the Tari Ootle Template Library Documentation!

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide for developers looking to build secure, efficient, and powerful on-chain applications using the Tari Ootle Template Library. Whether you’re new to the Tari ecosystem or an experienced blockchain developer, you’ll find resources here to help you get started and master template development.

The Tari Ootle Template Library simplifies the creation of smart contracts, referred to as “templates”, by providing ergonomic Rust abstractions over the core Ootle engine interactions. It is designed to be highly secure, performant, and flexible, allowing you to define complex behaviors and to manage digital assets effectively.

What is an Ootle Template?

Section titled “What is an Ootle Template?”

In the Tari ecosystem, an “Ootle Template” is analogous to a smart contract on other blockchain platforms. It is compiled into WebAssembly (WASM) and defines the logic and state transitions for on-chain applications.
