Solidity

Solidity is a statically-typed, contract-oriented programming language designed for implementing smart contracts on blockchain platforms, primarily Ethereum. It is influenced by C++, Python, and JavaScript, and enables developers to write self-executing code that runs on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to automate transactions and enforce agreements without intermediaries.

Also known as: Ethereum Solidity, Solidity Language, Solidity Programming, Solidity Smart Contracts, Solidity Code

🧊Why learn Solidity?

Developers should learn Solidity to build decentralized applications (dApps), create tokens (e.g., ERC-20, ERC-721), and develop smart contracts for use cases like DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains. It is essential for roles in blockchain development, as it allows for secure and transparent automation of business logic on distributed ledgers.
