Course description

If you’re a smart contract developer, a smart contract auditor, or know Solidity and want to level up your skills, the Assembly and Formal Verification course is the right resource for you to start developer more secure and efficient smart contracts:

  • Assembly
  • Writing smart contracts using Huff and Yul
  • Ethereum Virtual Machine OPCodes
  • Formal verification testing
  • Smart contract invariant testing
  • Halmos, Certora, Kontrol

With thousands of engineers taught, 50+ lectures and more than 11 hours of videos, and written resources, this comprehensive course gives you the skills you’ll need to bring your smart contract development and security skills to the next level.

Learn exactly how the solidity compiler works, and how the opcodes work. Then, learn how to write formal verification tests to guarantee your invariants hold. Technologies: - Halmos - Certora - Huff - Yul - Assembly - Kontrol

If you are an experienced Solidity smart contract developer or security researcher, this course is the right step to take you from Intermediate to professional. Here's why:

  • Taught by some of the world's best real-world smart contract engineers and security researchers.
  • Continuously updated to keep it current with the latest tools, technologies and techniques adopted by the biggest protocols in web3.
  • The curriculum was meticulously developed over an extensive period, incorporating extensive real-world professionals testing, feedback, and reviews.
  • We have successfully taught 1,000s engineers, CTOs, CSOs, auditors and researchers how to write and secure best-in-class Solidity smart contracts and protocols.
  • We are committed to teaching the best industry tools, free from any bias.
  • The course is regularly updated with fresh content, including new projects and modules.

Every video tutorial comes with a written lesson, giving you full freedom over your favourite learning method and teach you everything you need to know to succeed as a smart contract engineer or security researcher.

Made to train you on real-world projects, the Assembly and Formal Verification course includes quizzes, tests, and assignments as well as hands-on exercises to level up your Solidity smart contract engineering and security skills!

Learn how to use Halmos, Certora, Kontrol, and writing smart contracts using Huff and Assembly, through real world examples.

Gustavo Gonzalez

I took Cyfrin course and I’ve been working as a solutions developer at OpenZeppelin for the last few months. It was by far the most comprehensive resource and the one that really teached me the fundamentals and made me want to switch from web2 to web3.

Francesco Andreoli

Cyfrin Updraft videos on smart contract development have been instrumental in my blockchain journey, standing out with their clarity and accessibility. Their readiness to support and engage with learners makes me excited for more of their interactive and insightful content in the Web3 space

Albert Hu

The Cyfrin courses were a game-changer for me. They provided a well-structured and comprehensive introduction to web3 and blockchain development. The knowledge I gained allowed me to transition into a full-time role as a blockchain developer. I can't recommend these courses enough!

Radek

I took Cyfrin’s courses, and I took them seriously. At least one hour every day, documented the progress, didn’t skip any second. Haven’t found a better web3 course since. Now I’m full-time in web3, working as Senior Developer Advocate at Ceramic Network.
