Slither FAQ
Common questions about Slither, answered from independent, dated evidence.
What is Slither?
An open-source Python framework that scans smart contract source code for security issues using built-in detectors, generates visual contract analysis reports, and provides an extensible API for writing custom vulnerability checks. Enables developers to catch bugs before deployment and better understand contract behavior. It is indexed under Blockchain Dev Tools.

What does Slither integrate with?
We have confirmed 9 integrations for Slither, including GitHub Actions, Hardhat, Foundry, Brownie, Dapp, Pre-commit, Docker and Pyth Oracle detectors, plus 1 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

Is Slither open source?
Yes. Slither is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, a copyleft licence, so check its terms before embedding it in a closed-source product. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Slither, not the verdict.
