The Vyper compiler, a Python-like language for Ethereum smart contracts, has released a new version, v0.3.10, that focuses on performance optimization and security enhancement.
What’s new in v0.3.10?
According to the documentation, v0.3.10 introduces several new features and changes, such as:
- A code-size optimization mode that reduces the size of the compiled bytecode by removing unused functions and variables and applying constant folding and dead code elimination techniques.
- New vyper-specific #pragma directives that allow developers to specify the compiler version, EVM version, and optimization mode for their contracts.
- The use of Cancun’s MCOPY opcode for some compiler-generated code which improves the efficiency of memory copying operations.
- The generation of selector tables for contract interfaces now feature O(1) performance for function lookup instead of O(n) as before
The Vyper compiler aims to provide a simple, secure, and auditable language for Ethereum development.
It was released in 2018 as an alternative to Solidity, the most widely used language for smart contracts. Vyper has fewer features than Solidity, but it offers developers a higher level of security and readability.
The new release of v0.3.10 demonstrates the continuous improvement and innovation of the Vyper team, as well as their commitment to addressing the feedback and issues reported by the community.
The performance optimization and bug fixes will benefit both developers and users of Vyper contracts, as they will reduce gas costs, enhance security, and improve user experience.
