Introducing Solar ☀️ Solar is an implementation of the Solidity compiler, in Rust; licensed Apache/MIT. Solar is built for the future of smart contracts, in a world where developers seek customization, and assume great performance, safety, and developer experience.

Foundry now allows you to set up multiple profiles that are compiled simultaneously. This allows us to compile us important contracts with IR and optimize them while compiling unit tests without IR and keeping compile times short.

🚨 Action required: After >3yrs of heads-down development, Foundry is en route to our first stable release! Upgrade your installation of Foundryup! 🚨 2025 is looking to be an amazing year with faster and more secure EVM smart contracts! Foundry is a critical part of the EVM
