Solidity is a programming language designed for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain and other EVM-compatible networks. Developers use Solidity to create self-executing contracts with terms encoded directly on the blockchain, enabling decentralized applications and automated financial transactions. The language is compiled to bytecode and executed by the Ethereum Virtual Machine, making it essential for anyone building on Ethereum or similar blockchain platforms.
