SilverScript is a high-level language and compiler from Kaspa’s development team that targets Kaspa script, so covenants don’t have to be written in raw opcodes. In the author’s words:
“SilverScript is Kaspa’s first high-level smart contract language and compiler. It enables DeFi, vaults, and native asset management directly on Kaspa’s L1.
The language syntax is based on CashScript, but adds essential features like loops, arrays, and function calls.
It specializes in managing contracts with local state (UTXO model), serving as a complement and infrastructure layer for vProgs (shared state).
