4. Vyper presentation

  • Full Presentation
  • Vyper is a smart contract language for Ethereum.
  • Prioritizes security by default.
  • Aims to onboard new Web3 contributors.
  • Obsessed with optimization.
  • In Solidity, optimization requires switching to low-level assembly, which is not readable and can lead to vulnerabilities.
  • Vyper wants to handle optimization in the backend, like compilers in Web2 languages.
  • It’s based on Python semantics
  • Second most popular language after Solidity on the EVM.
  • Secures $4.7B in TVL across multiple Defi protocols.
  • Curve’s contracts are linked to Vyper
  • Protocols like Lido and Velodrome use Vyper contracts
  • Vyper is working on formal verification of its compiler, which significantly increases safety.
  • Language diversity promotes competition and innovation
  • It mitigates systemic risk by reducing reliance on a single compiler like Solidity
  • Snekmate is a project that recreates Open Zeppelin libraries for Vyper as Vyper modules – GitHub link.
  • Idea - create Universal Resolver in Vyper
  • The Universal Resolver is a contract for reading data efficiently.
  • It could be rewritten in Vyper, and if it’s more efficient, it would be a good test case.
