Example: Your First Smart Contract

A simple contract that stores and retrieves a number. You'll deploy this in your first hour on Solingo.

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.26;

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint256 private storedValue;

    event ValueUpdated(uint256 indexed oldValue, uint256 indexed newValue);

    function setValue(uint256 _value) public {
        uint256 oldValue = storedValue;
        storedValue = _value;
        emit ValueUpdated(oldValue, _value);
    }

    function getValue() public view returns (uint256) {
        return storedValue;
    }
}

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to learn Solidity?

With consistent practice (1 hour/day), you'll master the basics in 4-6 weeks. Expert-level proficiency requires 3-6 months of intensive practice with real projects.

Do I need to know JavaScript to learn Solidity?

No, but it helps. Solidity has syntax similar to JavaScript/TypeScript. If you already know any programming language, you'll learn faster.

Is Solingo really free?

Yes. Access to the complete roadmap, 1000+ exercises, and basic courses is 100% free. Premium features (certification, guided DeFi projects) are optional.
