Vyper Fundamentals: Pythonic Smart Contracts
An applied tour of Vyper, the security-first Pythonic language for the EVM. Twelve chapters covering the type system, function decorators, storage layout, bounded loops, external calls, reentrancy defense, fixed-point math, and the 0.4 module system — with detours through Curve's stableswap math and a Yearn-style ERC-4626 vault as the capstone. Reading + quiz only: Vyper has no in-browser compiler in this runtime, so exercises live in the markdown code blocks where they belong.
