Implementation of an architectural solution for devloping state channels, using Pyteal on Algorand blockchain.
Make sure you have installed on your machine docker, an open source containerization technology, it is used for the creation of the local blockchain (https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/). Morover is required python3.10+ (https://www.python.org/downloads/) interpreter and pip as a package manager. After installed pip it is foundamental to install pipx (https://github.com/pypa/pipx),it is another package manager it is used for installing Algokit,
The second step is to install Algokit, it is a tool that creates a local isolated Algorand Network so is it possible to simulate real transactions and Smart Contract execution on your computer it is done using the command pipx install algokit verify the installation typing algokit --version.
For the execution of the code is suggested to install all the libraries in a virtual environment (venv), after creating the venv python3 -m venv venv and activated it source venv/bin/activate you can install all the package listed inside the requirements file pip install -r requirements.txt.
For the execution of the test provided you have first to initialize the localnet
algokit localnet start,
then compile the SmartContract written in pyTeal python3 SmartContract/Contract.py secondly execute the test python3 test.py or python3 test.py
