Solidity is an object-oriented programming language for writing smart contracts and implementing smart contracts on various blockchain platforms, most notably, Ethereum. It is developed by Christian Reitwiessner, Alex Beregszaszi, and several former Ethereum core contributors to enable the writing of smart contracts on blockchain platforms such as Ethereum.

Solidity is a statically-typed programming language designed for developing smart contracts that run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine, also known as EVM.

As specified by Wood, it is designed around the ECMAScript syntax to make it familiar for existing web developers; unlike ECMAScript, it has static typing and variadic return types. Compared to other EVM-targeting languages of the time, such as Serpent and Mutan, Solidity contained several essential differences. Complex member variables for contracts, including arbitrarily hierarchical mappings and structs, are supported. In addition, contracts support inheritance, including multiple inheritances with C3 linearization. An application binary interface (ABI) facilitating multiple type-safe functions within a single contract was also introduced. A documentation system for specifying a user-centric description of the ramifications of a method call was also included in the proposal, known as “Natural Language Specification.”

Vitalik Buterin is a Russian-Canadian programmer and writer primarily known as a co-founder of Ethereum and a co-founder of Bitcoin Magazine.

Buterin is a co-founder and inventor of Ethereum, described as a “decentralized mining network and software development platform rolled into one” that facilitates the creation of new cryptocurrencies and programs that share a single blockchain (a cryptographic transaction ledger). Buterin first described Ethereum in a white paper in late 2013. Buterin argued that bitcoin needed a scripting language for application development. But when he failed to gain agreement, he proposed the development of a new platform with a more general scripting language.

About the Ethereum Project, Buterin has said: “I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to work in such an interesting and interdisciplinary area of industry, where I have the chance to interact with cryptographers, mathematicians, and economists prominent in their fields, to help build software and tools that already affect tens of thousands of people around the world, and to work on advanced problems in computer science, economics and philosophy every week.” However, in a 2018 New Yorker article, his father suggests that Buterin is trying to avoid the focus on him as the philosopher king of the blockchain world. “He is trying to focus his time on research,” Dmitry [Buterin’s father] said. “He’s not too excited that the community assigns so much importance to him. He wants the community to be more resilient
