Workshop Kick-off 2 - Cardano SEA Hackathon 2026
🚀 Cardano SEA Hackathon 2026 Kick-off Workshop – Session 02
Topic: “Building Smart Contracts With Plutus For Startups”
Do you have a startup idea but don’t know how to turn it into a real product? Or are you curious about smart contracts but unsure how they actually work in practice?
As blockchain continues to power the next generation of applications, understanding smart contracts is no longer optional — it’s a critical step in building scalable, real-world Web3 products.
So the key questions are:
👉 How do you transform an idea into a working smart contract?
👉 How can you leverage Cardano and Plutus to build startup-ready products?
Workshop Session 02 is designed to take you beyond ideation and into execution — helping you understand how smart contracts work, and how to design, develop, and deploy them for real-world startup use cases within the Cardano ecosystem.
Through practical examples and guided demonstrations, you’ll explore the full development journey — from concept to deployment — and gain the technical foundation needed to build scalable blockchain applications.
