🔌Pondora Modules

Cardano smart contracts have typically been built as monolithic or tightly coupled scripts for the purpose of a specific dApp or set of features. Pondora Modules are built as independent smart contracts which extend the basic features of the smart account contract. These allow dApp participants to opt in to individual modules for each NFT or token balance locked in their Ponds. Modules achieve this flexibility through a robust and expressive standard dictated by the Pond's unique design, while still retaining the ability to be composed with protocols following existing design patterns. This results in an elegant framework for managing transaction intents at scale. It also allows developers to continuously extend or build new features without having to change the underlying smart account contract. dApp participants may simply opt into the new features with a single transaction.
