Solidity is a programming language intended specifically for designing Smart Contracts and implementing them in blockchain transactions. It’s largely influenced by C++, JavaScript, and Python. You can also use it to develop decentralized apps (dApps) on the Ethereum blockchain. Because it is a language developed primarily for blockchain technology, it provides simplicity and flexibility to blockchain developers. Its importance for blockchain developers is that besides being used to build and deploy smart contracts, they can use it to create contracts for blind auctions, crowdfunding, multi-signature wallets, and voting.
