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:
