Hello, I have basic knowledges of Solidity programming and the Ethereum ecosystem, could we use Solidity to write smart contracts on the Centrifuge Chain? If so what are the differences in the setup?  
Thanks

Isn’t Centrifuge built on the **Substrate** framework which uses the **Rust** programming language?
