Move over Web 2.0. It’s time to make room for Web 3.0, an internet based on Blockchain and Smart Contracts. So how is all of this coded, you may ask? Solidity.
So What Exactly is Solidity?
In short, Solidity is a high-level, statically-typed, Turing-complete, object-oriented programming language for implementing smart contracts on the blockchain, in particular, the Ethereum blockchain.
It was developed by the Ethereum project team after 2014 to facilitate the process of generating smart contracts. It runs entirely on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Solidity is designed to be easy to use and relatively easy to learn. Solidity uses similar syntax to other popular programming languages such as Python, C++, and Javascript.
But Why is Solidity so Sexy?
What makes solidity so sexy is its use case. Solidity is the language behind self-executing smart contracts which form the backbone of Web 3.0.
