Getting Started with Acki Nacki

Welcome to the Acki Nacki Developer Portal! This portal will walk you through the key concepts of building on Acki Nacki — even if you're completely new to it.

Whether you're deploying your first smart contract, testing transactions, or building a full-scale Dapp, this section will help you get up and running quickly.

🧠 Core Concepts

In the Acki Nacki blockchain, every user action begins with a message. Messages trigger transactions, which then modify the state of accounts (smart contracts).

🔐 Account = Smart Contract

Every contract is an account in the blockchain. It includes:

Balance
Code
State (data)

Contracts:

Can own and send funds
Can execute code
Can create other contracts
Interact asynchronously with other contracts

All logic — user behavior, applications, business systems — lives inside these contracts.

🧩 Dapp ID — A Unique Application Identity

Acki Nacki introduces a unique concept called Dapp ID — a logical identifier that connects related contracts into one unified Dapp.

Dapp ID is used for:

Grouping contracts into a single application unit
Routing messages and managing execution priorities
Implementing freemium models (subsidized transactions)
Simplifying balance/state management across the Dapp

All accounts on Acki Nacki are identified by a Dapp ID — this makes it easier to structure, scale, and monetize your Dapps.

Before diving into DAPP development, it is recommended to first understand the basic principles of how a blockchain works, as well as the architecture and decentralization mechanisms of the Acki Nacki network.

💸 Freemium Transaction Model

Acki Nacki supports a freemium model for transactions: You can often interact with contracts, send messages, and store data without paying fees.

This opens the door to new UX possibilities: free onboarding, subsidized interactions, and seamless microservices.

⚙️ Smart Contract Development

Smart contracts on Acki Nacki are written in Solidity. If you’re familiar with Ethereum development, you’ll feel right at home.

🧪 Executing WASM binaries within a smart contract

Need to run compute-heavy operations inside your contract?

Acki Nacki supports running precompiled WebAssembly (WASM) code using the RUNWASM instruction. This lets you execute binaries built to the WASI Preview 2 Component Model Standard directly inside the contract, powered by Wasmtime.

This makes Acki Nacki ideal for:
