github.com/cdump/evmole @0.8.5

EVMole is a powerful library that extracts information from Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode, including function selectors, arguments, state mutability, storage layout, and CBOR metadata, even for unverified contracts.

Key Features

• Multi-language support: Available as JavaScript, Rust, Python, and Go libraries.
• High accuracy and performance: Outperforms existing tools.
• Broad compatibility: Tested with both Solidity and Vyper compiled contracts.
• Lightweight: Clean codebase with minimal external dependencies.
• Unverified contract analysis: Extracts information even from unverified bytecode.
• CBOR metadata: Extracts string-keyed values from a terminal, length-suffixed CBOR map without assuming a particular compiler.

function state mutability

Errors - Results are not equal (treating view and pure as equivalent to nonpayable)

Errors strict - Results are strictly unequal (nonpayable ≠ view). Some ABIs mark pure/view functions as nonpayable, so not all strict errors indicate real issues.
