What is Rust in Web3?
Also called: Rust
Rust is the primary language for Solana programs and for much core blockchain infrastructure, chosen for memory safety and performance without a garbage collector.
In practice
Beyond Solana, Rust underpins clients, indexers, and zero-knowledge tooling across ecosystems. The learning curve is real, and that scarcity is why Rust roles in Web3 tend to pay well. Public program deployments and contributions to client repositories are the proof that travels.
