ARK is happy to announce yet another official native library under the ARK ecosystem family (which is of course as always, open-source).

The Python framework to interact with ARK blockchain, codenamed Arky, is a native implementation of cryptographic functions to create and sign transactions, read and write to the vendorfield, together with handy tools to grab information from the ARK network (account balance, pool management, delegate management, etc…).

This opens yet another HUGE development market that ranges from big Fortune 500 companies, academic and scientific computing, e-commerce, aviation, manufacturing, governments, gaming, …— a lot of large institutions use Python as their main development language. You can look at some of the more successful Python stories on their official website : https://www.python.org/about/success/ .

Arky joins the ARK family of code and is placed alongside many of the already developed libraries for ARK like Javark (a Java lite client communications tool to interact with the ARK blockchain).

If you have any questions about Arky or need help implementing it in one of the ARK related Python projects, please feel free to get in contact with the main developer of Arky on our Slack.
