Solidity

Abstract

Solidity is an object-oriented, high-level programming language that is used to construct smart contracts that automate blockchain transactions. The language was proposed in 2014 by Gavin Wood and developed by participants of the Ethereum project. Solidity was influenced by C++, Python, and JavaScript, so you will find similar language structures as in those languages. The language is primarily used to build smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, but it can also be used to create smart contracts on other blockchains.
