!Awesome EVM Security (awesome-evm-security.png) (https://github.com/kareniel/awesome-evm-security#readme)

EVM (https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/evm/) stands for "Ethereum Virtual Machine". The EVM powers the Ethereum mainnet, but also Layer 2 protocols, sidechains, and EVM-compatible chains.

This list is an overview of the EVM ecosystem from an information security management perspective.
