If none of this makes sense to you yet we recommend to checkout the Ethereum website as well as a higher level description of the Ethereum project.
Goals¶
The main focus is to enrich the Ethereum ecosystem with a Python implementation that:
- Supports Ethereum 1.0 as well as 2.0 / Serenity
- Is well documented
- Is easy to understand
- Has clear APIs
- Runs fast and resource friendly
- Is highly flexible to support:
- Public chains
