# aesophia
|
|
|
|
This is the __sophia__ compiler for the æternity system which compiles contracts written in __sophia__ code to the æternity VM code.
|
|
|
|
For more information about æternity smart contracts and the sophia language see [Smart Contracts](https://github.com/aeternity/protocol/blob/master/contracts/contracts.md) and the [Sophia Language](https://github.com/aeternity/protocol/blob/master/contracts/sophia.md).
|
|
|
|
It is an OTP application written in Erlang and is by default included in
|
|
[the æternity node](https://github.com/aeternity/epoch). However, it can
|
|
also be included in other systems to compile contracts coded in sophia which
|
|
can then be loaded into the æternity system.
|
|
|
|
## Versioning
|
|
|
|
`aesophia` has a version that is only loosely connected to the version of the
|
|
Aeternity node - in principle they will share the major version but not
|
|
minor/patch version. The `aesophia` compiler version MUST be bumped whenever
|
|
there is a change in how byte code is generated, but it MAY also be bumped upon
|
|
API changes etc.

|
|
|
## Interface Modules
|
|
|
|
The basic modules for interfacing the compiler:
|
|
|
|
* [aeso_compiler: the Sophia compiler](./docs/aeso_compiler.md)
|
|
* [aeso_aci: the ACI interface](./docs/aeso_aci.md)
