EVMole

EVMole is a powerful library that extracts information from Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode, including function selectors, arguments, state mutability, and storage layout, even for unverified contracts.

Key Features

• Multi-language support: Available as JavaScript, Rust, and Python libraries.
• High accuracy and performance: Outperforms existing tools.
• Broad compatibility: Tested with both Solidity and Vyper compiled contracts.
• Lightweight: Clean codebase with minimal external dependencies.
• Unverified contract analysis: Extracts information even from unverified bytecode.

Usage

JavaScript

Benchmark

function selectors

<i>FP/FN</i> - False Positive/False Negative errors; <b>smaller is better</b>

function arguments

<i>Errors</i> - when at least 1 argument is incorrect: (uint256,string) ≠ (uint256,bytes)

function state mutability

<i>Errors</i> - Results are not equal (treating view and pure as equivalent to nonpayable)

<i>Errors strict</i> - Results are strictly unequal (nonpayable ≠ view). Some ABIs mark pure/view functions as nonpayable, so not all strict errors indicate real issues.

See benchmark/README.md for the methodology and commands to reproduce these results

How it works

Short: Executes code with a custom EVM and traces CALLDATA usage.

Long: TODO
