This past week I worked on the integrations between the smart contract and the desktop application. The main challenge in this part of integration was going through and understanding the Near blockchain, and its innate capabilities. The Near blockchain has various functions such as accounts, wallets, and connection functions. The connection functions have been implemented, and I am currently waiting for a few final touches on the smart contract so that we have an actual smart contract link to connect on the test net. I will work closely with Lev in the following week to finish up the integration between smart contract hardware and desktop app.
