Plutus-Bench

Test and benchmark Plutus Smart Contracts. This project enables you to construct entire smart contract transactions against a mock environment, and measure the correctness (i.e. unit test) and performance of your smart contracts.

Plutus Bench creates a mock ledger with an arbitrary UTxO set specified by the user. It then hosts a mock blockfrost API to interact with the ledger, supporting popular off-chain tooling like translucent and pycardano.

Note: Plutus Bench is currently a Work In Progress, and is not yet ready for production use.

Why Plutus Bench?

  • Compatability: Plutus Bench is written in Python, and is compatible with popular off-chain tooling relying on BlockFrost APIs. Ogmios mocking is also planned.
  • Holistic Testing: Plutus Bench allows you to test the entire lifecycle of a smart contract, from minting to consuming, in a single test.
  • Simple: Plutus Bench is designed to be simple to use, and easy to integrate with your existing infrastructure.
