Function and keyword reference
Pact is a smart contract programming language that's specifically designed for correct, transactional execution on the Kadena blockchain network. The language includes many native, built-in functions to perform many types of common programming tasks and to perform operations that are unique to the Pact programming language. Pact also provides functions for specialized use cases. The built-in functions are grouped into several categories to make them easier to navigate.
Common operations
The built-in functions for the most common operations are grouped into the following categories:
