A comprehensive guide has arrived on Aptos Learn to help you create a simple agent running on the Aptos blockchain. This tutorial focuses on setting up a Python-based development environment to build an application that interacts with the blockchain. If you’re familiar with tools like ethers.js or web3.js from the Ethereum ecosystem, you’ll find a similar experience here with Python.
What’s in the Guide?
- Setting Up the Development Environment: Choosing the right Python version, installing dependencies, and running your project in a virtual environment.
- Project Configuration: Initializing version control with Git, creating a
.gitignorefile, and setting up the basic project structure. - Using the SDK: Writing functions to perform blockchain interactions with the Aptos SDK.
- Building the Agent: Designing an agent architecture in Python and working with test data.
- Token and Transaction Management: Creating tokens, handling transfers, and managing wallets on the blockchain.
Who Is This For?
- Python Developers: Those looking to explore blockchain development.
- Node.js Developers: Developers wanting to compare Python’s approach to Node.js concepts.
- Blockchain Enthusiasts: Anyone eager to discover the opportunities offered by Aptos.
