<p>Vyper is a pythonic smart contract programming language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Vyper contracts secure more than $4 billion across multiple chains for major protocols such as Curve, Lido and Yearn.</p><p>It is currently the second most popular EVM programming language.</p><p><br></p><p>Vyper is an open-source project maintained by a core team of experienced web3 engineers and a number of volunteer contributors. We collaborate extensively with partners across the EVM toolchain, infrastructure, and security ecosystems. </p><p><br></p><p>Vyper aims to become the leading choice for smart contract development by offering:</p><ul><li>Superior developer experience through pythonic syntax and extensive tooling</li><li>Enhanced security with a safe-by-default approach that removes common security footguns</li><li>Maximum readability, making contracts easier and cheaper to audit</li><li>Optimized performance with 50% smaller bytecode and lower gas costs</li><li>Easy onboarding for Python developers</li></ul><p><br></p><p>To do so, we are currently working on:</p><ul><li>Improving compiler security through regular, extensive audits, automated testing and the use of formal verification methods</li><li>Implementing new features (struct packing, traits, generics) to make the language more powerful for developers</li><li>Enhancing developer tools and framework integration (Titanoboa, Moccasin, Snekmate)</li><li>Continuous improvement of compiler optimization through the Venom backend</li><li>Building better documentation and learning resources</li></ul><p><br></p>
