Plutus Core Team Update

· 2 min read

High level summary

We’ve completed the implementation of CIP-0153, introducing the Value built-in type and its associated functions. Our current focus is on finalizing the costing for these built-ins. Once this is complete, Plutus will be ready for the intra-era hard fork. All other features scheduled for the hard fork are already finished.

We’ve improved the Flat decoding of built-in lists, which has noticeably sped up Plutus script deserialization. In our benchmarks, some scripts' deserialization now runs with double-digit performance gains.

We’ve updated the Plutus Core specification and the Agda formalization to include the multi-scalar multiplication primitives (CIP-0133). Additional property and conformance tests have also been added for these primitives.

The team is also gearing up for UPLC 2025, a UPLC event scheduled to take place in approximately three weeks.
