Stack tooling

Languages :

• Solidity (Ethereum, EVM)
• Vyper (Python-like, Ethereum)
• Rust (Solana, NEAR)
• Move (Aptos, Sui)
• Cairo (Starknet)

Tooling EVM :

• Foundry (Rust, fast) - leader 2026
• Hardhat (JS) legacy
• Truffle defunct
• Remix browser IDE

Testing :

• Foundry forge tests
• Hardhat tests Mocha
• Echidna fuzzer
• Slither static analyzer
• Mythril symbolic execution

Frontend :

• Wagmi + Viem
• Ethers.js v6
• WalletConnect

Audit firms :

• Trail of Bits
• OpenZeppelin
• ConsenSys Diligence
• Halborn
• Quantstamp
• Code4rena (contests)

Best practices

• ReentrancyGuard
• Checks-Effects-Interactions
• SafeMath (Solidity 0.8+ built-in)
• Access controls (Ownable, RBAC)
• Pausable
• Upgradeability (Proxy patterns)
• Events emission
• Gas optimization
• Slither + Mythril analysis
• 100 % test coverage
• Fuzzing
• Audit before mainnet
• Bug bounty (Immunefi)
• Multi-sig admin
• Timelocks

Coûts audit

• Petit contrat (<1K SLOC) : 20-50K$
• Moyen (1K-5K SLOC) : 50-200K$
