Algorand Python smart contracts use PuyaPy to implement ARC-4 patterns via decorators like ARC4Contract, arc4.abimethod, and arc4.baremethod. This guide provides structured examples for defining subroutines and applying typed ARC-4 types across mainnet, testnet, and localnet environments.

Algorand Python contracts support GlobalState, LocalState, Box, BoxMap, and BoxRef storage patterns. This guide explains how to apply these storage mechanisms with practical examples to manage persistent and local state data effectively within your smart contracts.

Inner transactions and group transactions in Algorand Python are handled using PuyaPy utilities. This guide covers fee-pooling best practices and demonstrates how to structure grouped transactions to execute multiple operations atomically within a single contract call.

Typed clients are supported in Algorand Python through ARC-32 and ARC-56 app spec references. This guide shows how to generate and apply typed clients to interact with deployed contracts, ensuring type safety and streamlined communication across mainnet, testnet, and localnet.

AlgoKit is referenced alongside PuyaPy and ARC-4 patterns for running and testing Algorand Python contracts. This guide applies AlgoKit utilities to facilitate localnet development, allowing you to validate contract behavior and typed client interactions before mainnet deployment.
