🚂 SolidRail

Write smart contracts in Ruby, generate production-ready Solidity code

SolidRail is a powerful transpiler that allows Ruby developers to write smart contracts using familiar Ruby syntax while generating equivalent Solidity code for deployment on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains.

• 🐍 Ruby Syntax: Write contracts using familiar Ruby syntax and conventions
• ⚡ Solidity Output: Generate production-ready Solidity code
• 🔒 Type Safety: Automatic type inference and validation
• ⛽ Gas Optimization: Built-in gas optimization strategies
• 🛡️ Security: Security best practices and vulnerability detection
• 🧪 Testing: Comprehensive test suite and integration testing

gem install solidrail

Or add to your Gemfile:

gem 'solidrail'

# token.rb
class Token < ERC20
  def initialize(name, symbol)
    @name = name
    @symbol = symbol
    @total_supply = 1_000_000
    @balances = {}
  end

  def transfer(to, amount)
    require(balance_of(msg.sender) >= amount, "Insufficient balance")
    @balances[msg.sender] -= amount
    @balances[to] += amount
    emit Transfer(msg.sender, to, amount)
  end

  def balance_of(owner)
    @balances[owner] || 0
  end
end

1. Ruby Parser: Parses Ruby source code into AST using Ripper
2. Type Mapper: Maps Ruby types to Solidity types
3. Code Generator: Transforms AST into Solidity code
4. Optimizer: Applies gas and security optimizations
5. Validator: Validates generated code and provides feedback

class MyToken < ERC20
  def initialize(name, symbol)
    @name = name
    @symbol = symbol
  end
end

Becomes:

contract MyToken is ERC20 {
    string public name;
    string public symbol;

    constructor(string memory _name, string memory _symbol) {
        name = _name;
        symbol = _symbol;
    }
}

def transfer(to, amount)
  require(balance_of(msg.sender) >= amount, "Insufficient balance")
  @balances[msg.sender] -= amount
  @balances[to] += amount
  emit Transfer(msg.sender, to, amount)
end

Becomes:

function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) public {
    require(balanceOf(msg.sender) >= amount, "Insufficient balance");
    balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
    balances[to] += amount;
    emit Transfer(msg.sender, to, amount);
