]]> Build Smart Contracts on Cardano — The Right Way
Smart contracts are transforming the way we build decentralized systems, and Cardano is leading the charge with Aiken — a modern, fast, and developer-friendly language for writing powerful on-chain scripts. I Can Aiken is your definitive companion for mastering this cutting-edge platform.

Designed for developers new to Cardano, this book walks you through the evolution of smart contracts, comparing Bitcoin’s script, Ethereum’s Solidity, and Cardano’s own eUTxO model. The first half demystifies core concepts like scripting layers and account models — knowledge essential for anyone building on blockchain.

The second half gets practical, guiding you through hands-on examples using Aiken. You’ll write simple validators, understand key features of the language, and gain the confidence to build your own decentralized applications.

Whether you’re prepping for Cardano’s CBCA certification or just eager to dive into smart contract development, I Can Aiken will equip you with the tools, context, and code to do it right.

]]> Cardano is spearheaded by Charles Hoskinson who began in crypto with his course Bitcoin or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Crypto. He subsequently went on to be a co-founder of BitShares and Ethereum before co-founding Cardano in 2015.

Cardano is named after Gerolamo Cardano, an influential mathematician in the Renaissance. The platform aims to solve three issues with traditional cryptocurrencies: Sustainability, Scalability & Interoperability.

This book is mainly for Cardano newcomers. It does not go deep into the weeds of the technical research papers, nor explore concepts in great detail. The goal is to give a broad overview of Cardano with explainers and Charles Hoskinson quotes where relevant.

“This is a super-impressive piece of work on #Cardano from John Greene. Congratulations. And thank you. Every self-respecting kindle (or bookshelf) needs to sport one this summer”

– Tim Harrison, IOG VP Community & Ecosystem Communications

“This is the Bible of Cardano” – Kristian Portz, NMKR COO

“I love this book and you will too!” – Jason Appleton (Crypto Crow)

“Thanks for making my dreams available to the masses”

– Charles Hoskinson, IOG CEO & Founder
