<p>The best Solidity Linter is Ethlint with a close second Solhint. Most other linters are not well qualified to compete with those early tools!</p>
<h2>Solidity Linter #1 – Ethlint</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">

<p><a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/ethlint" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.npmjs.com/package/ethlint" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ethlint</a> comes with the popular slogan <em>“yet another Solidity linting tool”</em>.</p>
<p>I think the name is not well chosen because, due the fact that Solidity is super young, there is not a swamp of linting tools available, yet.</p>
<p>You can install it using the following expression:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><code>npm install -g solhint</code></pre>
<p>Here’s how you’d run this:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><code>solhint [options] <file> […other_files]</code></pre>

<h2>Solidity Linter #2 – Solhint </h2>

<p><a href="https://github.com/protofire/solhint" data-type="URL" data-id="https://github.com/protofire/solhint" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Solhint</a> is a linter for Solidity that provides security and a style guide validations.</p>
<p>You can install the Linter using this command:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><code>npm install -g ethlintsolium -V</code></pre>
<p>After initial configuration, the execution is as simple as running this command in your shell:</p>
<pre class="wp-block-preformatted"><code>> npm run solhint</code></pre>

<p>I would recommend more but I think those are the two best tools at this point.</p>
<p>If you want to learn Soldity, I’d applause you because this means you rely less on Linters (a goal worth pursuing)! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f642.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>Solidity is the programming language of the future.</p>
<p>It gives you the rare and sought-after superpower to program against the “Internet Computer”, i.e., against decentralized Blockchains such as <em>Ethereum</em>, <em>Binance Smart Chain</em>, <em>Ethereum Classic</em>, <em>Tron</em>, and <em>Avalanche </em>– to mention just a few Blockchain infrastructures that support Solidity.</p>
<p>In particular, Solidity allows you to<em> create smart contracts</em>, i.e., pieces of code that automatically execute on specific conditions in a completely decentralized environment. For example, smart contracts empower you to create your own <em>decentralized autonomous organizations</em> (DAOs) that run on Blockchains without being subject to centralized control.</p>
<p>NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, and Blockchain-based games are all based on smart contracts.</p>
<p><a href="https://academy.finxter.com/university/solidity-basics/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://academy.finxter.com/university/solidity-basics/">This course</a> is a simple, low-friction introduction to creating your first smart contract using the Remix IDE on the Ethereum testnet – without fluff, significant upfront costs to purchase ETH, or unnecessary complexity.</p>
