Execution Details

Execution Platform

Remix

Necessary Dependencies

  1. Remixd
  2. Hardhat
  3. Python- Web3

Steps

  1. cd into the folder blockchain project by command cd blockchain_project
  2. Connect your localhost to the remix platform to import the files. For this, start a connection using remixd library.
  3. Start a local blockchain testnet using the hardhat library in npm.
  4. Now deploy the solidity contract name.sol on the local testnet using the remix platform.
  5. Now, run the file client.py in a separate terminal. This is representative of the client, who interacts with the executor from the pool of operators.
  6. Finally, run the two files operator1.py and operator2.py in separate terminals representative of the pool of operators.
  7. The client can give commands to the executor, chosen from the two operators and can even change the executor.
