Currently Cardano provides multiple paths to testing a transaction.



## Thesis - What should be done and why is this valuable for Cardano Developers?

`Docker` is recognized as the default containerization tool for the broader developer ecosystem across all languages, the amount of training and availability of tools makes it ubiquitous.

Haskell has an inherently complex structure.
Helios provides an easy entry point.

Sponsorship opportunities:

  • support opshin in the WG.
  • support other toolschains


If cardano wishes to encourage developer adoption and reduce friction for dApp developers, providing up-to-date docker containers to run the cardano node and compile plutus dependencies is critical.

Encouraging adoptions should be our main point: we can think of developer activity as intangible TVL, unrealized potential the token to grow in value.

Value: Diversity


IOG used to maintain the [Plutus-starter](https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-starter) repository with a corresponding docker image, which can be used to build dependencies and start compiling plutus scripts. Unfortunately the last commit is from July, 2022 and the docker image is unusable.

We suggest that the plutus-starter docker image receive an update to ensure it can be used to successfully build and run Plutus v2 scripts. Additionally, documenting how to run the Cardano node included in the docker image, both against a public testnet or a local private network would be of incredible value to beginnners.
