VisualTez is a new visual programming tool for writing and deploying Tezos smart contracts.
It both uses and generates SmartPy code. SmartPy is a Python library that has been created to facilitate writing Tezos smart contracts with the Python programming language.
VisualTez aims at lowering the barrier for entry for writing Tezos smart contracts, by allowing for drag and drop contract development in a visual form.
“TezWell is a Portuguese company created in 2020 that initially provided consultancy services to the SmartPy project.
Today, the company focuses on bringing visual programming to smart contract development in the Tezos ecosystem, which will allow users to describe smart contracts through illustrations that can be built by simply dragging and dropping blocks.
Text-based programming languages make the programmer think like a computer, which is usually difficult for people without a computer science or similar background. TezWell will contribute to lowering barriers of entry for people with less technical knowledge.”
Members of the TezWell team also recently created a JavaScript package that allows Tezos devs to create and originate their smart contracts directly from JavaScript. This package used the SmartPy compiler. VisualTez is using this same JavaScript package to generate Tezos smart contracts.
The next steps for VisualTez will be end-to-end testing in June, improved documentation and more templates.

Etherlink, the Tezos blockchain’s latest Layer 2 solution, is set to redefine the landscape of decentralized applications (DApps) with its upcoming mainnet launch in March 2024. This EVM-compatible, optimistic rollup distinguishes itself from other external Layer 2 platforms like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon, due to its unique enshrinement within the Tezos blockchain.
Starting on December 6 with an exhibition, panels and performances at the Nautilus Hotel, curatorial platforms, partners and marketplaces from around the world will co-curate contemporary digital art minted on Tezos. Over 50 works will be shown, ranging from historical pieces to contemporary editions sold during the event, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Trevor Project, an American nonprofit organisation raising funds for suicide prevention amongst LGBTQ+ youth.
The Tezos Foundation announces its support for the Vigicard project, the first mobile application improving the monitoring of patients subject to drug allergies.
