Smart contract programming languages
Smart contract programming languages
A smart contract is a computer program that is executed on a blockchain. The programming language used to write a smart contract varies depending on the blockchain it will be executed on.
Know moreSome of the most popular programming languages used for writing smart contracts include:
- Solidity: It is the programming language used in the Ethereum blockchain and is one of the most popular languages for writing smart contracts. It is an object-oriented and statically-typed programming language.
- Vyper: It is another programming language used in the Ethereum blockchain. It is a high-level programming language that focuses on security and simplicity.
- Chaincode (Go): It is the programming language used in the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain. It is a Go-based programming language used for writing smart contracts on the Hyperledger platform.
- Michelson:It is the programming language used in the Tezos blockchain. It is a functional programming language used for writing smart contracts on the Tezos platform.
Each programming language has its own features and advantages. The choice of programming language depends on the blockchain platform the smart contract will be executed on, as well as the specific needs of the smart contract itself.
