Intro:

SmartPy is a high-level smart contracts library built to greatly ease the accessibility, understandability, and probability of smart contracts that can be used to write and test smart contracts that are deployable on the Tezos blockchain.

It uses the widely popular programming language Python to reduce the barrier of entry for smart contracts builders and empower a large crowd of potential developers of dApps and other smart contracts to contribute to the Tezos ecosystem.

#buidl-ing time:

All SmartPy source code should start by importing the smartpy python library.

To do the same, type out the following statement in your code editor:

import smartpy as sp
