FEVM-ApeWorX Python Development Kit

1. What is your project, and what problem does it solve? (max 100 words)
Our project aims to develop a Python SDK for FEVM-ApeWorX, which is a starter project for developing, deploying, and testing Solidity smart contracts on the FEVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine on Filecoin). The problem it solves is the lack of convenient developer tools for Python developers who want to interact with FEVM-Apeworkx contracts and access Filecoin APIs seamlessly. Currently, there is a gap in the tooling ecosystem for Python developers looking to build applications and smart contracts on the FEVM platform. Our SDK will bridge this gap by providing Python developers with intuitive tools to interact with FEVM-Apeworkx contracts, deploy contracts, and manage storage deals directly from Python environments. By simplifying the development and deployment process, our SDK aims to lower the barrier to entry for Python developers interested in leveraging the capabilities of the FEVM platform and Filecoin blockchain.

Hi @Aviksaikat - currently FEVM should work out of the box with tools like Hardhat, Foundry, etc., as well as Ethers.js and other SDKs. So there shouldn't need to be any FEVM-specific updates with the ApeWorX Python toolkit as long as it's EVM compatible. (Let me know if that's not the case!)
Hardhat, etheres.js is for javascript/typescript. Foundry(it's different). But for Python developers who use web3.py or ape, there is no starter kit. So I proposed to make a development kit specifically for Python developers to encourage them to build on FVM without learning JavaScript or Foundry if that makes sense.
Hi @Aviksaikat, thank you for your patience with our review process. Unfortunately, after much consideration, it has been determined that we will not be be moving forward with a new grant at this time.
In case you have an interest, I will be sending you an email shortly to discuss other ways to partner with our community. Wishing you the best as you continue to build.
