The Solidity programming language is a contract-oriented, high-level language used for building smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) that execute on blockchain platforms.
It was introduced by Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, and has since become the most widely used programming language for smart contract development.
Solidity is a statically-typed language, which means that data types are explicitly defined and checked at compile time.
In addition to being heavily influenced by C++, Python, and JavaScript, Solidity intends to target Ethereum Virtual Machines (EVMs). It is similar to C++ in its syntax and is designed to be easy to learn for developers who are familiar with object-oriented programming concepts.
