The open-source TypeScript SDK for building on Cardano.
Visit meshjs.devTogether with a few friends, I built up Mesh, a developer collective with its roots in Singapore. From a first small idea to a large project serving hundreds who build on blockchain technology.

What it does
Transaction builder
Any Cardano transaction, chained step by step: payments, minting, smart contracts, staking and governance votes. Coins and fees are worked out for you.
Wallets & providers
Browser and server wallets, and one API for every data provider: Blockfrost, Koios, Maestro, Ogmios, UTxO RPC and more.
On-chain governance
Everything Cardano governance offers, in a stable release: submit every kind of proposal, vote as DRep, stake pool or committee member, delegate.
x402 payments
A website, API or AI agent charges in ada or any Cardano token. The wallet pays, the content unlocks: no accounts, no cards.
Smart contracts
Ready-made contracts with docs and live demos: marketplace, escrow, vesting, swaps, and programmable tokens with built-in rules.
Mesh for AI
Agent Skills, an MCP server, the MeshAI chat and llms.txt give Claude, Cursor & co. accurate knowledge of Mesh, so they stop guessing. On a blockchain a wrong guess costs real money.
