Ways to program RGB
Today, there are two main ways for programming RGB smart contracts: using rust-based RGB domain-specific language and with a specially-designed functional smart contract language named Contractum. Unlike many other blockchain-based smart contract systems, RGB also allows to create contracts without writing any code at all – even for complex contracts like NFTs, identities, DAOs etc.
Zero-code contracts
Because of the use of contract schemata, most of RGB contract types can be issued without writing even a line of code. All you need is to find a schema and use command-line tools or GUI-based wallets to issue your contract.
RGB Rust DSL
The simplest way of creating a new RGB schema or interface is to use Rust. You can directly compile arbitrary rust data to be part of RGB contract state, and you use macro-based DSL to define new schemata and interfaces. You can export contracts, schema or interface into a binary form – or save them as Base65-armored text for further distribution.
Contractum
Contractum is the forthcoming declarative language for writing safe and easy-to-audit smart contracts for RGB. Contractum is being under an active development and we plan to have it released by the end of the year. Today you may preview how writing RGB contracts in Contractum may look like in a future.
