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.

Get started

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 0.8.25 Release Announcement

Posted by Solidity Team on March 14, 2024

Introducing the newest version of the Solidity Compiler: v0.8.25. This is a minor release following the Dencun hard-fork on Ethereum mainnet that occurred on March 13, 2024 at 13:55 UTC. Dencun Upgrade The Dencun upgrade combines changes to both Ethereum's consensus and execution layers. The full list of protocol changes can be found in EIP-7569. With Dencun now live on mainnet, we are accordingly making cancun the default EVM version the compiler will emit code for. MCOPY in code generator The previous release made the mcopy() builtin...

Transient Storage Opcodes in Solidity 0.8.24

Posted by Solidity Team on January 26, 2024

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...

Solidity 0.8.24 Release Announcement

Posted by Solidity Team on January 26, 2024

We are excited to announce the release of the Solidity Compiler v0.8.24. This newest version of the compiler brings readiness for the "Cancun" network upgrade, including support for transient storage (EIP-1153), shard blob transactions (EIP-4844) & more. The release binaries for macOS are now also compatible with Apple silicon chips. Cancun Network Upgrade The "Cancun" network upgrade provides new features in the form of opcodes and precompiles, which will need to be explicitly used to have any benefits, but also introduces changes in the existing...
