In this workshop, we are going to show how Phala’s Fat Contract empowers ink! contract to easily and securely interact with off-chain data and Web2 services. With its internet access ability, you can utilize any existing Web2 services with tens of lines of contract code, making it a perfect choice to connect the Web2 and Web3 world.
