šŸ”’ Master Ethereum Smart Contract Security — From Zero to Lead Auditor

Smart contract exploits drained over $3.8 billion in 2022 alone. The demand for skilled auditors has never been higher — and the supply hasn't caught up.


What is ChainGuard Academy?


A structured, professional-grade course that takes Solidity developers from writing code to breaking and securing it. 14 lessons across 6 modules covering:


  • Reentrancy, access control, integer overflow — the vulnerability patterns behind every major exploit

  • Flash loan manipulation, front-running, MEV — advanced attack vectors reshaping DeFi security

  • Slither, Mythril, Foundry fuzzing, Echidna, Certora — the complete auditing toolkit

  • Real post-mortem analysis of exploits like The DAO, Wormhole, Ronin Bridge, and Euler Finance

  • Professional audit report writing and career progression to Lead Auditor


Who Is This For?


  • Solidity developers who want to transition into security

  • Smart contract engineers building production protocols

  • Developers preparing for audit firm interviews (Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, Spearbit)

  • Anyone serious about understanding how DeFi gets exploited


What's Included


āœ… 14 in-depth lessons with code examples and checklists

āœ… Private Security Researchers chat community

āœ… Certificate of completion

āœ… Regular updates with new vulnerability research


$305/month with a 1-day free trial to explore the first modules risk-free.


The best auditors aren't born — they're trained. Start here.

šŸ›”ļø Welcome to ChainGuard Academy

Welcome, Security Researcher.


You've just taken the most important step in your smart contract security career. This course will transform you from a Solidity developer into an audit-grade security professional.


What You're Getting


  • 6 comprehensive modules covering everything from EVM internals to professional audit report writing

  • Real exploit case studies — we reverse-engineer actual hacks that drained hundreds of millions

  • Hands-on tooling labs — Slither, Mythril, Foundry fuzzing, Echidna, and Certora formal verification

  • DeFi protocol deep dives — lending, AMMs, and cross-chain bridges

  • Certificate of completion to validate your skills


How to Get the Most Out of This Course


  1. Follow the modules sequentially. Each one builds on the last.

  2. Run the code examples yourself. Security is learned by doing, not reading.

  3. Join the Security Researchers Chat to discuss concepts, share findings, and connect with peers.

  4. Check the Updates & Resources feed for new vulnerability disclosures and industry updates.


Recommended Setup


  • installed locally

  • +

  • A code editor with Solidity support (VS Code + Solidity extension)

  • Etherscan / Tenderly for on-chain analysis


Let's build the skills that protect billions in on-chain value. Start with Module 1: Solidity Security Foundations and work your way through.


See you in the chat. šŸ”
