that operates on a cryptographic
protocol.
Programming
Language
Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level
language for implementing smart
contracts. It was influenced by C++, Python
and JavaScript and is designed to target
the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
Hyperledger Composer is a set of
collaboration tools for building
