BlockchainPrimary LanguageWhy It MattersEthereumSolidityDominates 80%+ of DeFi/NFTs. C-like syntax, extensive tools (Hardhat, Foundry). Critical: Learn security patterns (e.g., reentrancy guards).SolanaRustHigh-performance chains require systems-level control. Steeper learning curve but enables parallel execution.PolkadotRustUsed for Substrate-based chains (e.g., Acala, Moonbeam). Focus on modularity.
