Awesome Web3 Security - Project Overview

Purpose

This is a curated collection of Web3 security materials and resources for pentesters, auditors, and bug hunters. The goal is to keep the list high-signal, well-categorized, and non-duplicated.

README.md Format Convention

Heading Structure

• Top-level categories use ##.
• Subcategories use ### (e.g., inside Development).
• Starter Pack uses bold bullets for sub-sections (e.g., - Bug Bounties).

Link Format

• Use full URLs, one per bullet line.
• Add a short description in square brackets: - https://... [Short description]
• Keep descriptions English and concise.
• Do not add the same URL in multiple places.

Example Entry

### Decompilers
- https://example.com/tool [EVM decompiler]

Categorization Rules (How to Place a New Link)

• Security Starter Pack: learning, CTFs, audits/bounties, newsletters, beginner tools.
• Blockchain Guide: ecosystem overviews, protocol primers, learning roadmaps (broad).
• Development: frameworks, SDKs, tools, compilers, decompilers, test suites, contract source code.
• Security: security references, standards, vulnerability catalogs, analyzers, audit methodology.
• DeFi Topics: Stablecoin/MEV and other DeFi-focused topics.

Duplicate Policy

No duplicate URLs in README.md. If a link fits multiple categories, pick the primary one.

Contribution Checklist

1. Check for duplicates in README.md before adding.
2. Verify the link points to the canonical source (avoid low-value forks).
3. Keep the description English and useful.
4. Put it into the most appropriate category.
5. Prefer minimal changes over reformatting large sections.
