Solidity Celebrates 10 Years

Solidity, the most widely used language for writing smart contracts on the EVM, marks 10 years since its 2015 release, with the Solidity team aiming to simplify the core language and move more complexity into standard libraries. Alternative compiler Solx launched its LLVM-based compiler to beta to mark the milestone. The same roundup reports that GMX suffered a $40 million exploit on its V1 instance, in which an attacker manipulated leverage-enabled functionality and inflated the vault's AUM, and that tokenized real-world assets surpassed $25 billion in market capitalization. SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce also issued a statement saying tokenized securities remain subject to federal securities laws.
