## Mallet

Mallet, the minimum wallet, is a command line utility for deploying smart contracts and interacting with the [Cardano IELE and KEVM testnets](https://testnet.iohkdev.io/) developed by IOHK. Mallet is written in Javascript and is based on the Node.js REPL, so it gives access to some handy functions as well as libraries such as Web3. Mallet can also be included as a library in your own JavaScript programs.
