I’ve always wanted to find a way to give back to the greater ARK community and finally am happy to share the initial outcome of something I have been working on for the past few weeks with delegate @arkmoon.
I’m pleased to announce PythACES. This is a python adaption / take on the ACES project by the ARK team which leverages the use of the amazing smart bridge technology along with the concept of encoded listeners to bridge blockchains for transactions. As it stands this is very much an alpha version so please keep that in mind if you happen to stumble across any bugs or issues as we are working hard to add features and test functionality as we build it out.
The current functionality does not yet support full contract execution (as ArkVM is not yet available) and is also currently limited to Ark and Ark Clone chains. I anticipate in the future more non-ARK DPOS coins (e.g., SHIFT, OXY, etc) will be added. It is possible at some point non-DPOS coins will be added as well. Please note that the initial implementation is only for the DARK channel (e.g., DARK -> Kapu Devnet or DARK -> Persona Testnet) transactions.
I’m also happy to say that we are also open sourcing the code for anyone that wants to use it or even help us build better functionality. The code currently resides at the following github repositories:
An initial demo site is available at the following link:
HOW TO USE:
Select a Coin
Enter the DARK address you will send from and the address to receive (in this example Persona Testnet) and create the contract. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is currently a limit of 100 that you can receive with current functionality
Using the QR Code, or manually, send the appropriate DARK to the noted address with the correct smart bridge. Once the encoded listener picks up the transaction you will receive your specified amount withing 3–5 minutes. Contracts expire in 15 minutes.
