What is Solidity?
The Solidity programming language allows developers to create and deploy smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Designed specifically for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Solidity is a statically-typed, object-oriented language that borrows features from languages like C++, Python, and JavaScript. Through Solidity, developers can encode complex business logic and rules to govern the behavior of accounts within the Ethereum ecosystem, enabling the development of a wide range of decentralized applications such as voting systems, crowdfunding platforms, blind auctions, and multi-signature wallets
