What is a .SOL file extension?
.SOL file extension is created by Ethereum Foundation. .SOL has been classified as Developer Files. The format of .SOL file is Text.
.SOL is Solidity Script
A SOL file is a script written in the Solidity scripting language, which is similar to C++ and JavaScript. It contains Solidity source code, which is used to create smart contracts for blockchain transactions. Solidity is utilized by several blockchain platforms, such as Ethereum, Tendermint, and Counterparty.
Smart contracts are executable programs built in the Solidity scripting language. They allow users to send value (money) to others using a digital currency, such as Ethereum. The value is called “Ether” and is similar to Bitcoin, another cryptocurrency. SOL files used to complete Ethereum transactions are processed by the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). They record information such as the sender, receiver, and amount transferred. When the contract is completed, the transaction information is added to the blockchain. Smart contracts may be created for a variety of purposes, such as blind auctions, crowdfunding, voting, and multi-signature wallets.
SOL files are supported by Dapp, which is a Solidity package manager, build tool, and deployment assistant. They are also supported by various programs with the Solidity plugin installed, such as Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Vim, and Sublime Text.
NOTE: Smart contracts are also known as decentralized apps (dapps) on Ethereum.

File Type 2 Flash Local Shared Object File
Developer by: Adobe Systems Category: Settings Files Format: Binary
Contains user data and settings stored by Macromedia Flash Player 6 and later (now Adobe Flash Player); similar to a cookie saved from a Web page, but is used specifically by Flash Player.
SOL files can be opened and edited with SolVE: the Local Shared Object Viewer/Editor, or by another SOL file editor.
