Reasons To Use AlgoKit
Algorand software developers are the main individuals to benefit from the use of AlgoKit. At the moment it allows for developers to quickly run, explore and interact with the local Algorand Sandbox, as well as letting them build, test and deploy Algorand PyTEAL smart contracts.
Additional features, that are yet to be released, include quick deployment of standardised and audited smart contracts, along with programmers being able to build and deploy Algorand dApps using the Algokit.
The Importance of AlgoKit
AlgoKit will help developers more easily build and deploy their projects on Algorand, thus making the barrier of entry lower and developing a quicker and less painful process. As such, it allows for faster growth of a variety of applications in the Algorand ecosystem.
