Just a quick update.

We’ve created a Visual Studio code extension for Aeternity’s Sophia Language.

We felt the need for this, after having to write some Sophia smart contracts in visual studio code.

After searching a while, we didn’t find anything released nor developed yet in regards to helping to highlight the code or show typos, so we decided to create it and help the community of blockchain developers out there, that might be struggling writing Aeternity’s Sophia smart contracts.

Currently the extension only supports syntax highlighting the code, but we have planned some features for the nearest future to be added:

  • Syntax highlighting
  • Code snippets
  • Shortcut for fast compilation of the current sophia smart contract
  • Shortcut for compiling all smart contracts in the project directory
  • Code completion
  • Default project structure
  • and more…

The extension could be found in the vscode marketplace and also here:

Also – this extension is open source, so any contributions, ideas and suggestions are more than welcome here in the github repo:

Update: People wanted to donate some tokens for our efforts in the aeternity community, so we are providing here a public address for this:

Every blockchain faces the same uncomfortable question eventually: what happens when more people want to use it than it can handle? For Ethereum, that question stopped being theoretical years ago. At peak congestion, a simple token swap can cost more in gas fees than the tokens themselves are worth. The network processes roughly 15 transactions […]

Here’s a detailed account of what happened in one of the requests, how we uncovered the threat, and the lessons we […]
