Awesome AI Web3 Security
A curated, verified awesome-list of AI-powered tools for smart contract and blockchain security, covering autonomous auditor agents (Hound, Plamen, Aether, SolidityGuard), commercial AI audit platforms (Sherlock AI, Cantina Apex, Zellic V12, Nethermind AuditAgent), MCP-based auditing plugins (Trail of Bits Skills, Claudit, Slither MCP, Solodit MCP Server), real-time on-chain ML monitoring (Forta Network, AnChain.AI), and benchmark/training datasets (EVMbench, SCONE-bench, ScaBench, SmartBugs). Every entry requires a real AI/ML/LLM component plus a specific Web3 security focus, with open-source entries needing 25+ GitHub stars, positioning it as a practical index for the emerging AI-driven smart-contract-audit tooling ecosystem.
What it is
A GitHub awesome-list (marchev/awesome-ai-web3-security) cataloguing AI-powered smart-contract and blockchain security tools, last verified March 2026. It splits into three functional groups the summary only gestures at: (1) autonomous auditors you point at code, (2) commercial/hosted audit platforms, and (3) agent-augmentation components you bolt onto your own auditing agent. The distinction matters for selection — the third group "don't orchestrate finding bugs on their own."
How it works (the selection axes it actually exposes)
Beyond the summary, the list is decision-usable because each entry carries a delivery form and a pricing tier:
- Delivery forms:
Skill(Claude Code / Codex plugins — e.g. Plamen, Nemesis Auditor, Archethect SC-Auditor, Move Auditor Skills, SCV Scan),CLI(Hound, GPTScan, SolidityGuard, Aether), and MCP servers / connectors (Claudit, Grimoire, Trail of Bits Skills). - Pricing tiers:
Free(Hashlock AI Audit),Freemium(Nethermind AuditAgent, Olympix, AuditBase), andPaid(Sherlock AI, Cantina Apex, Zellic V12, Grego, Almanax, Savant.Chat, ChainGPT, TestMachine, Firepan, Octane, webrainsec).
Language coverage varies and is stated per-entry: Plamen (EVM, Solana/Anchor, Aptos Move, Sui Move); forefy/.context (Solidity, Anchor/Rust, Vyper, FunC/Tact, Sui Move); DarkNavy Client Auditor targets execution/consensus clients and bridges in Go, Rust, C/C++, Java.
What to do
Use the tiers to match need to effort:
- Want something runnable today, no vendor: open-source CLIs/Skills —
Hound,Aether(180+ detectors, Halmos symbolic exec, 6-pass LLM pipeline, Foundry PoC gen),SolidityGuard(104 patterns, 9 integrated tools). - Want to make an existing Claude Code / Codex agent smarter, not replace it: the augmentation group —
Claudit(MCP server over Solodit's 20K+ findings),Grimoire,Trail of Bits Skills(35 plugins). - Want a managed platform / human-in-loop: paid entries — Cantina Apex (agents + human auditors), Sherlock AI (GitHub-integrated, remediation + verification tests), TestMachine (executes exploits, reports only successful ones).
Caveats
- Benchmark claims come from the tools' own READMEs, not independent tests — notably SolidityGuard's "100% on 85/85 CTF challenges and 120/120 EVMBench." Treat as vendor-reported.
- Curation gate is minimal: open-source entries need only 25+ GitHub stars plus a real AI/ML/LLM component and Web3 focus. Inclusion signals relevance, not audit quality.
- Verification is a point-in-time snapshot ("Every link verified March 2026"); star counts and activity drift.
