Ethernaut is a Web3/Solidity-based wargame played in the Ethereum Virtual Machine, where each level is a smart contract that must be hacked. It serves both as an educational tool for learning Ethereum and as a catalogue of historical smart contract exploits.

Use cases

• learn ethereum and solidity by hacking smart contracts
• practice smart contract security exploits
• study historical web3 hacks as game levels
• train for blockchain security audits
• set up a local ethereum wargame environment
• teach solidity vulnerabilities in a hands-on way

When to choose

• you want to learn ethereum development and security interactively
• you are preparing for smart contract auditing or CTF competitions
• you want a self-hosted, extensible wargame with community levels

When to avoid

• you need production smart contract security tooling rather than a game
• you are not interested in blockchain or solidity
• you want a guided course rather than self-directed puzzle levels
