Wake brings testing, fuzzing, static analysis, and Solidity editor support together in a Python framework, but its recent development activity is quiet and concentrated among one contributor.
Good fit if
- Your team writes Solidity and wants fuzz testing plus built-in detectors in a Python-based workflow.
- You already use pytest and can run Python-based contract tests against supported local development environments.
- You want Solidity language-server or VS Code support alongside testing and analysis.
Look elsewhere if
- Your team needs evidence of frequent recent code changes or issue and pull-request handling, since there have been no commits, closed issues, or merged pull requests in the measured recent period.
- You want a project whose maintenance is broadly distributed, since most contributions come from one person.
- Your workflow is not Python-based or you need a tool focused on a different smart-contract language.

Overview
Wake is a Python framework for developing and testing Solidity smart contracts. It combines pytest-based tests with guided and property-based fuzzing to explore contract behavior and uncover bugs that ordinary test cases may miss.
It also includes static-analysis detectors, code printers, a Solidity language server, and tools for deployments and mainnet interactions. It is aimed at Solidity developers and auditors who want testing and analysis in a Python-centered workflow, rather than only a compiler or deployment tool.
Key Features
- Write contract tests using a pytest-based framework.
- Fuzz contract behavior with generated inputs, sequences, and invariants, while allowing manually guided test flows.
- Run built-in vulnerability and code-quality detectors, or extend the static-analysis framework with custom detectors.
- Use printers to extract information about Solidity code.
- Connect tests to Anvil, Hardhat, or Ganache environments and interact with deployed contracts.
- Use the Solidity language server and VS Code extension for editor feedback, references, and hints.
- Manage Solidity compiler versions with the included solc version manager.
- Add detector runs to CI with Wake's GitHub Actions.
Use Cases
- Solidity developers can add invariant and fuzz tests when example-based tests do not cover enough contract state transitions.
- Smart-contract security teams can run detectors and targeted fuzz tests during audits or before deployment.
- Python teams building Ethereum applications can use familiar pytest-style testing alongside Solidity contract code.
- Maintainers can add Wake detector runs to CI to check contract changes as part of their development workflow.

Considerations
The project is marked quiet: it has had no commits in the measured recent period, despite publishing releases during the past year. Most contributions come from one person, and the measured period also shows no closed issues or merged pull requests. Teams adopting it should assess whether this maintenance pattern suits their support expectations.
Wake requires Python. The README also notes that Rosetta must be enabled on Apple Silicon Macs. The repository is licensed under ISC, so review the license terms for your distribution and compliance needs.
