Can I use Python for smart contracts?

Solidity is an object-oriented programming language for writing smart contracts. It is used for implementing smart contracts on various blockchain platforms, most notably, Ethereum.

A smart contract is a self-enforcing agreement embedded in computer code managed by a blockchain . The code contains a set of rules under which the parties of that smart contract agree to interact with each other. If and when the predefined rules are met, the agreement is automatically enforced.

SmartPy is based on Python 3 language and requires Python code syntax . Python developers will feel at home when starting to code smart contracts with SmartPy. However, note that although it is possible to import Python libraries through the import directive, some features will only work in the development environment.
