Solana Labs has unveiled its Solang compiler.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Solang will make it easier for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) developers to transition to the Solana ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Solana Labs has announced the launch of Solang, a new compiler designed to smooth the transition for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) developers into the Solana ecosystem.<\/p>\n
In a blog posts<\/u><\/a> On Wednesday, Solana Labs said developers familiar with Solidity can use Solang to write apps on the Solana network. Solidity is Ethereum’s primary smart contract programming language.<\/p>\n This latest cryptocurrency news<\/u><\/a> comes a few hours after Neon EVM’s release of a similar tool. Solang seeks further to bridge the gap between the Solana and Ethereum ecosystems. <\/p>\n Solana Labs revealed that Solang has numerous features. One of its core features is that it is compatible with Ethereum Solidity version 0.8.<\/p>\n Other features of Solang include; <\/p>\n Ability to call other Solana smart contracts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Supports Solana SPL tokens<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Supports program-derived addresses<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Enables development with Anchor<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Builds native Solana smart contracts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Access to native Solana built-in functionality<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Solana Labs explained that Solana development had been centered around using languages \u200b\u200blike Rust or C for scripting smart contracts. However, they added that development was evolving towards greater accessibility via Solidity and EVM.<\/p>\n With Solang, developers can now build on Solana with Solidity, a new compiler that helps bridge the gap between EVM developers and the Solana ecosystem.<\/p>\n SOL, the native coin of the Solana ecosystem, has been performing well so far today. At press time, the price of Solana<\/u><\/a> stands at $26.146, up by more than 2% in the last 24 hours. <\/p>\nSolang is compatible with Ethereum Solidity V0.8<\/h2>\n
