-Mythril is a security analysis tool for EVM bytecode. It can be used to detect security vulnerabilities in smart contracts built for Ethereum, Quorum, Vechain, Roostock, Tron and other EVM-compatible blockchains. It uses symbolic execution, SMT solving and taint analysis detect a variety of security vulnerabilities. It's also used (in combination with other tools and techniques) in the [MythX](https://mythx.io) security analysis platform.
