- Our GenLayer Simulator was upgraded and is now called “Studio”.
- The Studio is a browser-based application, accessible directly at studio.genlayer.com.
- Developers can now code their Intelligent Contracts with a Python-based SDK.
We are proud to release a renamed, more powerful version of our interactive sandbox, the GenLayer Studio, designed for developers to explore GenLayer’s Intelligent Contracts. The Studio incorporates all the hard work our team has put in over the last few months to develop GenLayer’s very own execution environment, the GenVM. With it came substantial changes to the syntax of coding, such as the introduction of a new GenLayer Standard Library SDK.
The best thing about it? Developers will be able to transfer their new GenVM contracts onto the upcoming testnet as well as the mainnet!
In this article, we will further explain the Studio and show how to code the first Intelligent Contract.

Or check out the code on Github first.
What is the Studio?
Developers can create Intelligent Contracts, experiment with AI-powered functionality, and explore GenLayer’s unique capabilities, such as native internet access.
With the Studio, developers can:
Currently, the Studio supports testing and debugging but not token transfers or gas consumption, which will be added as the platform evolves. It is a valuable tool for prototyping and demonstrating Intelligent Contracts’ potential. Join our Discord to share ideas and help shape GenLayer's future.
Entering the GenLayer Studio via Browser
Here's a step-by-step walkthrough video of how to get familiar with studio.genlayer.com:
In the second part, Cristiam showcases how to dive deeper into coding Intelligent Contracts:
The GenLayer Studio offers a playground for developers to experiment with various use cases and scenarios involving Intelligent Contracts. Let's explore some of those use cases:
1. Prediction Markets: Leverage the GenLayer Simulator to develop a decentralized prediction market powered by Intelligent Contracts. Traditional prediction markets rely on oracles or manual input. With GenLayer, contracts can directly access and analyze real-world data from the internet.
In this video Cristiam showcases how to code a Football Prediction Market:
Developers could create a contract allowing users to place bets on future events, such as election outcomes or product launch dates. The Intelligent Contract can gather information from news websites, social media, and other relevant sources to determine the results.
2.Wizard of Coin: The Wizard of Coin contract demonstrates how Intelligent Contracts can manage assets and interact with users in a blockchain-based environment. In this scenario, users play an adventurer who meets a wizard. This wizard possesses a magical coin sought after by many adventurers. The contract's logic ensures that the wizard never gives away the coin.
The Wizard of Coin has already been battle-proven at the Paris Blockchain Week, where only one Adventurer could trick the Wizard into handing out the coin!
3. Parametric Insurance: Develop an Intelligent Contract for parametric insurance, which pays out based on the occurrence of specific events rather than assessed damages. The contract can monitor weather data and news reports to determine if the insured event, like a hurricane or flood, has occurred in the covered area.
If things do not go as planned, we will be here to provide support every step of the way!
