Python Web3 Development #1 – How to Make DApps With Python
Decentralized applications are the future, and you can build them with Python! No need to learn a new language, just use your existing skills to create applications running on the blockchain network. With tools like Cartei, you can write code in a familiar way and remove the barriers of entry into web3. This technology is a gamechanger, and I’ll show you how to build a rock paper scissors challenge game using Python and JavaScript, giving you a foundation to create even more apps. Let’s dive in! 🚀 #Web3Revolution
In this series, I’ll show you how to create decentralized applications using languages like Python, without the need to learn Solidity. This means that even non-developers can quickly write applications that run on blockchain networks like Ethereum, using their existing web 2 knowledge. In this video series, we will focus on Python, but you can use any language.
**Quick Demo of the Application**
I have a running Python back end on the right side of my screen, and a front end written in JavaScript and React on the left side. This series will walk you through building this exact app step by step, from a simple Rock Paper Scissors challenge game to laying the foundation for more advanced applications.
| Features |
|———————————-|
| – Decentralized applications |
| – Building using normal python code |
| – Trustless communication |
| – Utilizing smart contracts |
| – Layer 1 vs Layer 2 solutions |
Before we proceed further, here are a few key terms to understand:
– **Decentralized App**: This is an application that runs on a peer-to-peer blockchain network, like Ethereum. It is not controlled by a central authority, making it trustworthy and resilient.
– **Layer 1 vs. Layer 2**: Layer 1 refers to the base level network, while Layer 2 aims to improve speed, scalability, and efficiency by taking some of the computation off-chain.
– **Smart Contracts**: These are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. They run on the blockchain and automatically enforce the terms when certain conditions are met.
| Limitations of Traditional Blockchain Development |
|————————————————————————————————–|
| – Learning new languages and coding limitations in solidity |
| – Gas fees and gas limit when performing executions and computations on the blockchain network |
| – Limitations in implementing common coding tools, libraries, and methods |
This is where frameworks like Cartei come in, providing a solution to traditional blockchain development limitations by allowing code to run off-chain, while still utilizing the security benefits of the blockchain.
Some basic prerequisites for the series include familiarity with Python and understanding of how APIs work. If you need help or have any issues, there is support available through Cartei’s Discord channel.
**Conclusion**
This web3 development series aims to make decentralized app development more accessible and user-friendly for developers by utilizing the capabilities of Python. Stay tuned for the next video, where we will walk you through the setup process and get you ready to start building your own DApps using Python.
