Solidity is evolving rapidly
We aim for a regular (non-breaking) release every month, with approximately one breaking release per year. You can follow the implementation status of new features in the Solidity GitHub project.
Contribute to Solidity
Solidity continues to improve with help from our global community. Check out these ways to get involved and contribute to the Solidity project.
Reporting issues and vulnerabilities
To report an issue, please use the GitHub issues tracker. To report a vulnerability, please check out the instructions in the SECURITY.md.
Translating the documentation
Translations help developers from all corners of the world to be able to read the documentation and learn Solidity.
Fixing and responding to issues
Fixing and responding to issues, especially those tagged as “good first issue”, is a great way to get started for external contributors.
Contributing to language design
We welcome Solidity power users, auditors, security experts and tooling developers to get involved in the Solidity language design process. Join the Solidity forum, where existing properties of the language and proposals for new language features can be discussed.
Stay Updated
Stay always up-to-date by following the Solidity blog.
You can see the upcoming changes for the next breaking release by switching from the default branch (develop
) to the breaking branch
. You can actively shape Solidity by providing your input and participating in the language design in the Solidity forumand participating in the yearly Solidity developer surveys.

Solidity 0.8.24 supports the opcodes included in the upcoming Cancun hardfork and, in particular, the transient storage opcodes TSTORE and TLOAD as per EIP-1153. Transient storage is a long-awaited feature on the EVM level that introduces another data location besides memory, storage, calldata (and return-data and code). The new data location behaves as a key-value store similar to storage with the main difference being that data in transient storage is not permanent, but is scoped to the current transaction only, after which...
