What Is Solidity Development?
Solidity development is a contract-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts. It was influenced by C++, Python, and JavaScript and is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Solidity is statically typed and supports inheritance, libraries, and complex user-defined types among other features.
In this post, we’ll dive into the concept of smart contracts and the main programming languages used to code them – Solidity. This post may get a bit technical and assumes that you are already somewhat familiar with blockchain technology.
Solidity as a Language for Smart Contracts.
To recap, a smart contract is a set of programmable instructions intended to automatically facilitate, enforce, and verify the execution of an agreement. Unlike traditional paper contracts that only record the agreement details, intelligent contracts guarantee the execution of recorded obligations.
As you will see, it is possible to create contracts for voting, crowdfunding, blind auctions, multi-signature wallets, and more.
Solidity Development
- It is used specifically for smart contracts, making it closely related to the blockchain.
- Understanding the basics of blockchain is essential for learning to work with smart contracts.
A blockchain is a global transactional, shared database.
This means that it is enough to participate in the network to access it.
To do this, you must create transactions, which have to be approved by others participating in the network.
