Abstract

This talk aims to show that, even though it might not be popular, Python developers can also contribute to the development of blockchain ecosystems - by building dApps and even blockchain protocols, and through DevOps practices.

Blockchains are distributed systems built to be censorship resistant. They have become popular in recent years and with this popularity came a vibrant community (which includes developers). As you might imagine, some of these developers are Python programmers and this has naturally given birth to Python-based tools for interacting with and building on blockchains as we know them today.

This talk will aim to highlight some of these tools and show how to use one or two of them.
