Solidity Celebrates 10 Years

Solidity marks a decade of smart contract development as the ecosystem introduces SOLX, an LLVM-based compiler designed to streamline the language's core logic. This milestone coincides with a significant $40 million exploit on GMX v1, where an attacker manipulated leverage functionality and smart contract parameters to artificially inflate vault assets. Despite such security challenges, the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market has surged past $25 billion, with Ethereum mainnet hosting 58% of this value and BlackRock’s BUIDL fund leading as the largest individual asset. Complementing this growth, stablecoin supply on Ethereum reached a record $131 billion. Regulatory clarity remains a focal point as SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce affirms that tokenized securities must adhere to federal laws, even as platforms like Robinhood begin rolling out tokenized stock offerings internationally.
