Cardano Node Emulator

Cardano Node Emulator provides Haskell libraries for emulating Cardano node behavior in local and test environments, including a socket-based emulator layer used by Plutus-facing workflows.

This project is focused on practical maintenance outcomes: updating dependencies and interfaces, preparing a stable release, and sustaining ongoing compatibility as upstream Cardano and Plutus components evolve.

Scope

• Keep cardano-node-emulator and cardano-node-socket-emulator aligned with current Cardano ecosystem changes.
• Improve release readiness through changelog hygiene, CI/build stability, and packaging consistency.
• Maintain developer usability for integration testing and local contract/system simulation.
• Provide continued support and incremental fixes after release.
