Fe is a statically typed, Rust-like programming language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) featuring explicit effects, message-passing contracts, traits, generics, and higher-kinded types. It ships with an integrated toolchain including a compiler CLI (fe), package manager, formatter, and language server.

Use cases

• write smart contracts for ethereum
• alternative to solidity for evm development
• compile contracts to evm bytecode
• develop secure decentralized applications
• learn a rust-like smart contract language
• build erc20 tokens with typed message handlers

When to choose

• you want compile-time safety guarantees like explicit effects and overflow protection when writing EVM contracts
• you prefer Rust-like syntax and modern language features (traits, generics, pattern matching) over Solidity
• you want an integrated toolchain with package manager, formatter, and language server

When to avoid

• you need production-ready, battle-tested contracts - Fe 26.x is explicitly not production-ready with known bugs and sub-optimal bytecode
• your project depends on the mature Solidity ecosystem, audits, and tooling
• you need a large standard library or extensive third-party contract libraries
