Wake: Why we built an Open-Source Swiss Knife for Solidity Developers, Josef Gattermayer (Ackee)

Talk by Josef Gattermayer (Ackee Blockchain Security)
Abstract:
Solidity development and security tooling are still evolving, the first ecosystem has grown around tools such as Brownie, Slither, Echidna, or VS Studio Code extension Solidity Juan Blanco wrote in 2015 and has over 1,2 million installations. Thanks to those early adopters, the next waves of tooling could arrive, improving comfort, effectiveness, and security. Thanks to the openness and invocation drive of the Ethereum ecosystem, every major player is trying to contribute and push boundaries. But the take of Ackee Security wasn’t to replace any of those tools - but to replace them all. What was the motivation to combine the functionality into one tool? And how did it end? This talk reveals the insides.
