You can find resources on Scrypto in our specific thread [Where can I learn more about Scrypto?](https://radixtalk.com/t/where-can-i-learn-more-about-scrypto/121) > Scrypto is a programming language that Radix is creating to enable the rapid and safe development of [**decentralized financial applications (dApps)**](https://learn.radixdlt.com/article/what-is-a-dapp). dApps on Radix are formed out of [**components**](https://learn.radixdlt.com/article/what-are-components-blueprints-and-the-blueprint-catalog) written in Scrypto that will run on the [**Radix Engine v2**](https://www.radixdlt.com/post/what-is-the-radix-engine-v2)execution environment. Scrypto is expected to heavily borrow syntax from Rust, but include specific asset-oriented features for [**DeFi**](https://learn.radixdlt.com/article/what-is-defi-2) app development based on a well-constrained FSM (finite state machine) paradigm. It’s main advantage over Solidity and the others is that it’s asset-oriented: developers don’t have to “reinvent the wheel” every time they have to create a new dApp, so they can actually focus on building their app instead of handling every single step. Also, tokens are built-in Scrypto; there’s no need for a smart contract for every token you create, making Scrypto less prone to exploits. If you have more specific questions feel free to ask; I’m sure more knowledgeable developers will chime in! --- _[View the full topic](https://radixtalk.com/t/how-does-it-work-and-the-advantages-of-using-scrypto/511)._
