Architecture Overview
Overview
The Neo DevPack for Solidity compiler (neo-solc) is a Rust-based toolchain that translates Solidity 0.8.x smart contracts into NeoVM bytecode. The output is a .nef (Neo Executable Format) file and a .manifest.json deployment manifest, ready for deployment to the Neo N3 blockchain.
The compiler is built as a single Rust binary with no external runtime dependencies. It uses the solang-parser crate for Solidity parsing and clap for CLI argument handling.
