Introduction to Solidity
Learn what smart contracts are, the basics of blockchain technology, and an introduction to the Solidity programming language.
Welcome to the Introduction to Solidity module! In this module, you'll learn about smart contracts, the blockchain, and the Solidity programming language used to write smart contracts. A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement directly written into code, running on a decentralized blockchain.
What are Smart Contracts?
Smart contracts are programs stored on a blockchain that run when predetermined conditions are met. They allow trusted transactions and agreements to be carried out among disparate, anonymous parties without the need for a central authority.
Introduction to Solidity
Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts on various blockchain platforms. It is statically typed, supports inheritance, libraries, and complex user-defined types among other features. In this course, you'll start with the basics of writing a contract, declaring state variables, and implementing functions. Next, we will introduce more advanced concepts in Solidity.
Challenge
There is no challenge in this module. Only observe the code and see how it‘s basic structure works.
