# Paradigm Releases Solar Solidity Compiler With More Than 100x Average Speedup By Simon Yoon Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/47334 Published: 2026-11-03T05:03:30.000Z Updated: 2026-11-03T05:03:30.000Z Section: Technology > Georgios Konstantopoulos said the compiler reached a peak speedup of 159 times and produces smaller bytecode with lower runtime gas use and deployment costs than Solc. Paradigm has released Solar, a Solidity compiler that its technology chief says averaged more than 100 times the speed of Solc in via-IR mode, while producing bytecode with lower runtime gas use and deployment costs. Georgios Konstantopoulos, a Paradigm partner and chief technology officer, said Solar reached a peak speedup of 159 times. He also said its bytecode takes up less space than Solc’s output and that Solar beat Solady in some benchmarks without hand-written assembly. Konstantopoulos said Solar addresses the stack-too-deep problem. The compiler is integrated with Foundry and supports multithreaded compilation and LSP. The release follows Paradigm’s [earlier plan for Solar’s EVM code generation](), which was scheduled for the week of Oct. 26. ## Links in this article - [earlier plan for Solar’s EVM code generation](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/40887)
