Ap Bokto

Ap Bokto, as used within the Algorand blockchain ecosystem, refers to a compiled version of an Algorand Smart Contract (ASC). Specifically, it is the compiled output of a TEAL (Transaction Execution Approval Language) program.

When a smart contract is written in TEAL, it must be compiled into bytecode that the Algorand Virtual Machine (AVM) can understand and execute. The Ap Bokto represents this compiled bytecode. It is this compiled form that is actually deployed to the Algorand blockchain and used to execute the contract's logic.

The term is often used interchangeably with "compiled TEAL program" or "compiled smart contract". Developers typically interact with the Ap Bokto during the deployment and interaction phases of a smart contract's lifecycle. The compiled bytecode, represented as Ap Bokto, is submitted as part of a transaction to create or update the smart contract on the Algorand network.
