Vyper is a Pythonic smart contract language that compiles to Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode, emphasizing security, simplicity, and auditability. It ships as a Python-based compiler CLI that generates bytecode, ABI, and IR from .vy contract files.
Use cases
- write secure ethereum smart contracts in a python-like language
- compile vyper contracts to evm bytecode and abi
- alternative to solidity with built-in overflow and reentrancy protection
- audit-friendly smart contract development
- build erc20, erc721, and erc4626 tokens on ethereum
- learn smart contract development coming from python
When to choose
- you want pythonic syntax for ethereum contracts
- security and auditability matter more than feature richness
- you need bounds checking, reentrancy guards, and strong typing enforced by the compiler
- you prefer decidable gas costs and no inline assembly
When to avoid
- you need solidity's full feature set, modifiers, or inheritance
- you target non-EVM chains
- you require the largest ecosystem of tooling and community examples
- you want maximum language expressiveness over simplicity
