An input received as natural language text is processed into a first parameter to generate a Domain Specific Language (DSL) construct. DSL construct is disintegrated into a stream of tokens and a syntax analysis is performed on the stream of tokens to check if the syntax of the DSL construct matches with a grammar file defined for the DSL construct. Each of the marked lines of the stream of tokens is read and the read marked lines are transformed into an organized structure. A file specific to a target blockchain platform is generated based on a second parameter and the organized structure is mapped with the generated file associated with the target blockchain platform to generate a target code template for generating a deployable target smart contract for the target blockchain platform.
