Imports

Before you start building your Intelligent Contract, make sure to import the necessary modules. These imports provide the functionalities required for your contract’s execution within the GenLayer environment.

Import IContract

from genvm.base.icontract import IContract

This is the base class for all Intelligent Contracts on GenLayer. It equips your contract with essential properties and behaviors that are crucial for effective operation within the GenVM environment.

Import EquivalencePrinciple

from genvm.base.equivalence_principle import EquivalencePrinciple

The EquivalencePrinciple function is used for handling non-deterministic outputs like responses from multiple LLMs or web. It is suited for more complex or multiple operations within an equivalence principle block, allowing developers to define how different validators can reach a consensus on varying outputs.

For simpler use cases, we have two EquivalencePrinciple abstractions that simplify specific tasks:

  • call_llm_with_principle

  • get_webpage_with_principle

Import call_llm_with_principle

from genvm.base.equivalence_principle import call_llm_with_principle

Handles straightforward LLM interactions with an embedded equivalence principle.

Import get_webpage_with_principle

from genvm.base.equivalence_principle import get_webpage_with_principle

Manages web data retrieval while ensuring data consistency through an equivalence principle.

ℹ️

Important: Only import the specific functions your contract needs. For instance:

  • Use call_llm_with_principle for straightforward LLM calls.
  • Use get_webpage_with_principle for web data retrieval.
  • Use EquivalencePrinciple for more complex or multiple operations within an equivalence principle block. You don't need to import all of them unless your contract requires it.

Import json

import json

Essential for parsing and outputting data in JSON format.

Example Import

For the Wizard of Coin example, we imported IContract and call_llm_with_principle and json because our contract involves a simple call to an LLM to decide whether to give the coin.
