Introduction

Smart contracts are a pivotal aspect of blockchain platforms like Ethereum and Solana. They enable automated transactions and agreements to be carried out without the need for intermediaries. Below, we'll explore how smart contracts are implemented in both Ethereum using Solidity and Solana using Rust.

Ethereum Smart Contracts with Solidity

Ethereum smart contracts are written in Solidity, a high-level language specifically designed for Ethereum. Here's a simple example of a smart contract written in Solidity that manages a decentralized voting process:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0
pragma solidity >=0.7.0 <0.9.0;

Technical Debt: Concept and Resolution in Rust

Introduction to Technical Debt

Technical debt is a metaphor reflecting the implied cost of additional rework caused by choosing an easy, limited, or quick solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer. Similar to financial debt, technical debt accumulates interest, meaning that the longer it remains unpaid, the more time and resources it will take to resolve.
