It matters to package users because it normalizes many Ethereum project build systems behind one CLI and Python library interface. ### Project history The official README presents crytic-compile as a library for smart contract compilation, with support for direct solc compilation and framework-specific projects including Foundry, Hardhat, Brownie, Truffle, Waffle, Dapp, Embark, Etherlime, Sourcify, and Etherscan-style sources. ### Adoption history The README says the plugin is used in Trail of Bits tools including Slither, Echidna, Manticore, and evm-cfg-builder. That places crytic-compile in the packaging path for Solidity security-analysis workflows rather than only as a standalone CLI. ### How it is used The documented CLI workflow is to run crytic-compile at a project root, for example beside hardhat.config.js or foundry.toml, and produce crytic-export/contracts.json containing AST, ABI, and bytecode data. Advanced options are supplied as CLI flags or library arguments, not through a documented standalone config file. ### Why package nerds care For package managers, crytic-compile is a Python security tool whose value depends on integration with external build frameworks and Solidity compiler tooling. Its distribution via PyPI and Homebrew makes it convenient to install as part of audit and fuzzing toolchains. ### Timeline - 2019: PyPI release 0.1.0 was uploaded. - 2026: Release 0.4.1 is current in PyPI and Homebrew metadata. ### Related projects - The official README names Slither, Echidna, Manticore, and evm-cfg-builder as Trail of Bits tools that use crytic-compile. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes generalized runtime or code generation signal. - **Geiger risk:** yellow / medium - generalized runtime or code generation signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** crytic-compile - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [echidna](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/echidna/) - Popular package that depends on this formula. - [medusa](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/medusa/) - Popular package that depends on this formula. - [slither-analyzer](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/slither-analyzer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, ethereum, security, smart-contracts, solidity. - [caracal](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/caracal/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, security, smart-contracts. - [pywhat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pywhat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, security, security-analysis. - [acme.sh](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/acme-sh/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, security. - [aescrypt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aescrypt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, security. - [aespipe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aespipe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, security. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
