Use the Remix browser IDE to get started without installing the compiler locally.

GNU GPL v3, you can freely use and modify the Solidity compiler, but any distributed modifications must also be released as open source under GPL v3.

In plain English

Solidity is the programming language used to write smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. A smart contract is a program that lives on the blockchain, a decentralized, public ledger, and runs exactly as written without anyone being able to alter or censor it. Smart contracts enable things like tokens, digital ownership records, decentralized voting systems, automated payments, and more, all without a central authority. Solidity is a high-level, statically-typed language (meaning you declare what type of data each variable holds, and the compiler checks for mistakes before deployment). Its syntax is similar to JavaScript or C++. You write Solidity code, compile it using the Solidity compiler, and deploy the compiled result to the Ethereum network, where it executes on the Ethereum Virtual Machine, the shared computing environment that all Ethereum nodes run. You would use Solidity if you are building a decentralized application on Ethereum, for example, a token, a marketplace, a voting system, or a financial protocol. The browser-based development environment Remix is the recommended starting point for newcomers. The Solidity compiler is written in C++ and the project is maintained by the Ethereum Foundation. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

I want to write my first Solidity smart contract to create an ERC-20 token. Show me a minimal contract and how to compile and deploy it using Remix.

Prompt 2

What is the difference between storage and memory variables in Solidity, and when should I use each one?

Prompt 3

I have a Solidity function that should only be callable by the contract owner. How do I write an access control modifier for it?

Prompt 4

How do I handle ETH transfers in Solidity safely to avoid reentrancy attacks in a withdrawal function?

Prompt 5

How do I deploy a Solidity contract to the Ethereum Sepolia testnet using Remix and MetaMask without spending real ETH?

Frequently asked questions

What is solidity?

Solidity is the programming language for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, self-executing programs that run without any central authority, enabling tokens, voting systems, and automated payments.

What language is solidity written in?

Mainly C++. The stack also includes C++, Solidity, Ethereum.

What license does solidity use?

GNU GPL v3, you can freely use and modify the Solidity compiler, but any distributed modifications must also be released as open source under GPL v3.

How hard is solidity to set up?

Setup difficulty is rated moderate, with roughly 30min to a first successful run.

Who is solidity for?

Mainly developer.
