Vyper, introduced in 2017, is a Python-based programming language specifically designed for crafting smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It serves as a readable and secure alternative to Solidity, the predominant language for writing EVM smart contracts. By incorporating safety measures like bounds and overflow checking, contract decidability, and strong typing, Vyper promotes the development of secure and easily auditable smart contracts. While it does not aim to entirely replace Solidity, Vyper acts as a valuable complement, enhancing security in the smart contract ecosystem. Notably, Vyper has gained significant traction, with over 10,000 published smart contracts utilizing its capabilities.
