Solana Labs unveils Solang to attract ETH developers
Developers of the Ethereum alternative blockchain Solana are keen on attracting developers from the ETH ecosystem. Solana labs introduced a new compiler, Solang, that makes it easier for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) developers familiar with smart contract development in Solidity, to get onboarded to the new blockchain.
The new tool enables developers to delve into and write applications on the Solana blockchain. Solana’s release is a response to the rising competition between protocols like Neon EVM that introduced a similar tool to enhance compatibility between Solana and Ethereum ecosystems.
Solang is compatible with Solidity version 0.8 and grants the EVM framework access to the network’s core features. Initially Solana Labs development was centered around Rust or C for scripting smart contracts.
