Solana enables developers to write on-chain programs in general purpose programming languages such as C or Rust, but those programs contain Solana-specific mechanisms. For example, there isn’t another chain that asks developers to create a Rust module with a process_instruction(KeyedAccounts) function.
Which programming language does Solana use?
Like various other blockchains, Solana can run smart contracts. Solana’s execution environment is based on eBPF, which allows the Rust, C, and C++ programming languages to be used.
Is Solana written in Solidity?
Moreover, unlike most other popular blockchain networks, Solana is not EVM-compatible. As such, Solana does not use Solidity as its programming language.
What is Solana developed in?
On Solana, and most smart contract blockchains, there are two completely different development workflows. Program (smart contract) development on Solana is done in Rust, C and C++. These programs are built and deployed on-chain and are run via the Solana Runtime where they live forever.
What is Solana developer?
We design and develop user-friendly dApps powered by the Solana’s scalability, speed and security. Our blockchain developers have expertise in Solana development workflows, client SDKs and programs for building decentralized solutions for DeFi to web3 and NFTs.
