# Smart Contracts & Solidity​

One of the leading building blocks and languages for smart contracts remains [Solidity](https://github.com/ethereum/solidity)—a language developed and maintained by the Ethereum Organization and community. As an EVM-compatible blockchain, Solidity can be used to build and deploy smart contracts on Vince Chain.

As the most popularly used contract-oriented programming language, there is plenty of resources and support for developers building smart contracts with Solidity. Many tools, IDEs, and APIs are also available to build and deploy on Solidity. The Vince Chain Core Dev Team has its recommendations but accepts external and open-source tools for building secure and scalable smart contracts.
