Solidity by Ackee Blockchain Security

Ethereum Solidity and local node testing with security features for Visual Studio Code.

Develop, test, and secure Solidity smart contracts directly in Visual Studio Code with real-time security analysis, local node testing, and advanced debugging tools. Solidity (Wake) brings a Remix-like experience to your existing workflow with tools for compilation, deployment, and contract interaction on a local Ethereum network. Catch security risks early with built-in vulnerability detection, call graphs, and contract inheritance visualization without leaving VS Code.

This extension was built by a leading blockchain auditing firm that has worked with Lido, AAVE, Axelar, Safe, LayerZero, and more. It was developed for our professional needs and made open-source for a safer web3.

Benefits:

• Test and interact with your smart contracts on an Ethereum local node
  • Compile and deploy contracts
  • Interact with contracts
  • Fork mainnet or L2s to interact with onchain contracts
  • Native support for proxy contracts
• See vulnerabilities from static analysis in real-time
  • Compilation Errors
  • See vulnerabilities from static analysis in real-time
  • Security Overview in the Sidebar
• Best code navigation experience, call-graphs and more
  • Go to definition
  • Find references
  • Document Links
  • Hover
  • Contract Outline
  • Code Lens
  • Graphs

Test and interact with your smart contracts on an Ethereum local node

Compile and deploy contracts

Compile your contracts and deploy them on a local chain for testing

Interact with contracts

Test your deployed contracts by interacting with them using function calls with different inputs

Fork mainnet or L2s to interact with onchain contracts

Native support for proxy contracts

See vulnerabilities from static analysis in real-time

Free detections with leading security tool Wake

it

Compilation Errors

See compilation errors highlighted in code

Best code navigation experience, call-graphs and more

Go to definition

Quickly navigate to any function or variable definition with a click

Find references

Right click to see a context menu, and use it to find all references

Document Links

Click and jump to linked files and resources

Hover

Use hover to see instant documentation in your code

Contract Outline

Requirements

The Solidity extension uses the PyPi package eth-wake which requires Python 3.8 or higher. This package is automatically installed via conda by default.

Rosetta is required to be enabled on Apple Silicon Macs.

Known Issues

• Go to references, number of references and other features do not work correctly with no workspace open

It is always recommended to open a project as a folder (File -> Open folder). Open file should only be used when opening a single file or several files inside the same folder.

• Analysis does not work when the workspace contains compilation errors

The extension relies on the solc compiler. For this reason, files containing compilation errors and files importing these files cannot be analyzed.
