In a world where

#Haskell fuels a mere 0.65% of internet projects & #Python dominates with 25%

the need for a #Python-based SC dev platform becomes increasingly pivotal for any #blockchain

Enter @OpShinDev: a game-changing tool for onboarding new developers to #Cardano🧵👇

2/14
@OpShinDev is a Python-based solution,

leveraging one of the most commonly used programming languages

Its ambition is to enhance the accessibility & usability of blockchain development

without compromising the intricacies required for SCs on #Cardano

3/14
The defining feature of OpShin is its grounding in Python 3

Python's compatibility allows seamless integration with off-chain Python-based tools such as PyCardano

and lets developers utilize existing testing frameworks and IDEs (Integrated Development Environment)

4/14
So why #Phython?

Python is renowned for its simplicity & intuitive nature

making it one of the most favored languages among both beginners & experienced developers

Its exceptional readability is key when it comes to programming SCs, enabling a broad spectrum of developers

5/14
Increased accessibility with Python leads to enhanced security by promoting a robust auditing process

minimizing potential vulnerabilities

Yet, as a dynamic language

it can introduce runtime errors due to lack of compile-time type checking, posing risks for SC development

6/14
To address this

OpShin overlays a strict type system on top of Python, similar to Haskell's type system

This ingenious blend combines Python's simplicity with the safety of a strict, statically-typed system

marrying convenience and flexibility with robustness and security

7/14
OpShin supports standard Python constructs, simplifies code management, & promotes code reuse

It also provides compatibility with virtually all IDEs,

allowing developers to use their preferred tools, improving productivity, & reducing the learning curve

8/14
Emphasizing accessibility

OpShin provides quick, friendly feedback with helpful error diagnostics

making the debugging process smoother. It is also designed for efficiency

producing highly performant code suitable for the demanding requirements of blockchain transactions.

9/14
Interoperability with off-chain Python toolchains means that

developers can integrate their OpShin SCs with existing Python applications or tools effortlessly,

ensuring smooth and efficient workflows

10/14
OpShin removes setup barriers by enabling zero-configuration usage with a single, capable tool

It supports a wide range of testing methodologies and standard code quality tools,

helping developers write clean, error-free code.

11/14
To assist in the onboarding process,

OpShin provides an array of resources such as the OpShin-Pioneer-Program

This includes detailed tutorials and walkthroughs

that guide developers through the different aspects of building SCs with OpShin👇

12/14
Another valuable resource is the Awesome-OpShin Repository,

a community-driven hub of examples and tutorials.

Here, developers can learn from the collective wisdom of the community, offering a dynamic and evolving learning platform👇

Several projects are already using OpShin for their development on #Cardano

Here are some examples

@muesliswap is using OpShin to create an on-chain token verification system

github.com/MuesliSwapTeam…

@TMinusOnePro is another project which is being developed using OpShin

14/14
@stargazer_fi is a project to become the first Yield Aggregator on #Cardano, is being developed using OpShin

Kalyx is another project which i being developed using OpShin

to provide an alternative to traditional Contracts for Difference (CFDs) on exchanges

TL;DR

▪️@OpShinDev is a game-changing tool for onboarding new developers to #Cardano

▪️By pioneering an approach that marries flexibility & simplicity of #Python with rigor & security of a static typing systems

OpShin provides an accessible & powerful platform for developers
