Summary:Tezos is a smart-contract blockchain. Tezos smart contracts are written in a low-level stack-based language called Michelson. In this article we present Albert, an intermediate language for Tezos smart contracts which abstracts Michelson stacks as linearly typed records. We also describe its compiler to Michelson, written in Coq, that targets Mi-Cho-Coq, a formal specification of Michelson implemented in Coq.
