Nora - The AI coding agent for building secure Web3 apps
by•
Cursor, Claude, and all the other coding agents weren't built for web3 and can't be trusted for writing smart contracts or deploying securely to blockchains. Nora was purpose-built so you can write, test, and deploy secure dApps with confidence.

Can Nora support multi-chain deployments out of the box?
Nora
@abod_rehman Yep! Nora already supports multi-chain deployments out of the box

That's refreshing! Does it include built-in auditing or formal verification tools?
Nora
@roozbehfirouz Great question, security’s been a huge focus. Nora today is trained rigorously on secure coding practices, and formal verification is something we’re actively working on. Can’t wait to share more soon 🚀

@lizzieyuan2025 Appreciate it! Would love to hear what you think once you’ve had a chance to try

Hi everyone 👋, Luke here.
For years I’ve been deep in Web3 — building core infra like HotStuff-based consensus and BlockSTM parallelism. Before crypto, I was an AI researcher at the MIT Media Lab.
I felt first-hand the pain of building dApps, and thanks to my background in AI, knew that LLMs could unlock a better way to write secure, performant decentralized applications (dApps). But it turns out that Cursor, Claude, and all the other coding agents are great at building web 2.0 React apps, they suck at Web3!
Thus Nora was born, the first AI coding agent for building secure Web3 apps.
We designed Nora from the ground up for smart contracts and blockchain: it can write, test, and deploy contracts end-to-end, surface security holes you might miss, and we’ve made it easy to bring in your existing projects and seamlessly add secure on-chain features.
We debuted Nora at ETHGlobal NYC 2025, and by the end of the event it was adopted by over 45% of the winning teams.
We’d love for you to download and give Nora a try — and to make it even more compelling, we’re offering 500 free subscriptions to 1 month of Nora Hacker tier to the first 500 sign ups from Product Hunt.
I’ll be here all day to answer any questions you have about Nora. Thanks for checking us out!
@lukeglw great product. I will definitely try this and share in my circle. is there any better way to contact you for more info? any socials?
Nora
@kshetez_vinayak Thanks so much 🙌 really appreciate you sharing it around! Easiest way to reach us is to just DM us on Twitter/X @mynoraai — we’d love to connect 🚀

Nora fills a real gap in agentic coding apps.
Most AI coding tools weren’t built for Web3 — they weren't tuned on smart contracts, on-chain deploys, wallet UX, oracles, gas, security... etc. Cursor, Claude et al have to be finagled to think in those terms, and even then, it's a stretch to get consistent results.
That's what Nora was solves for.
It plans from a single prompt, scaffolds the stack, writes smart contracts, generates real tests, runs locally, fixes issues, and deploys with confidence.
Nora speaks Web3 natively and sweats the details blockchain developers care about.
I worked with the team on sharpening the positioning and PH launch. They’re thoughtful, fast, and ship with integrity.
If you’re building serious Web3 apps, Cursor/Claude won’t cut it. You need something purpose-built.
Take Nora for a spin, then let the team know what needs improving. They’ll make it better fast.

@chrismessina Hi Chrias and Nora, amazing works! I faced one hacking incidents at our project. Our contract held $ 3 Million equivalent Ethereum, and the ownership of contract was stolen by a hacker. Smart contract is one of tricky languages, and requires to think though all lifecycle of token flows. If there's critical mistake, all money will gone.
I'd love to share my friends to try out.

Really interesting concept the shift toward local, secure AI feels like the right direction. Love how Nora is keeping things transparent and giving users more control instead of relying fully on cloud models.
Would love to see how it performs in real-world dev workflows.
Nora
@chrishicken Really appreciate that 🙌 we’ve put a lot of thought into keeping Nora secure and transparent, while still powerful enough for production-grade workflows. Excited for you to see how it feels in real-world dev use 🚀
Congrats Luke! I’m really impressed by Nora’s deep focus on secure Web3 development. Given how AI-driven smart contracts are pushing the boundaries, what are some of the biggest technical and regulatory hurdles you see right now especially around things like scalability, energy use, and navigating different legal frameworks?
Nora
@vouchy Thanks so much 🙌 scalability and legal frameworks are moving in the right direction, but what still feels missing is more serious builders pushing crypto-infused products all the way to PMF. In the past, projects often listed or exited before real product traction. We’re trying to flip that trend.
Congrats on the launch! Curious if which programming languages are supported for smart contracts?
Nora
@ning_dong Thanks so much 🙌 Nora’s strongest support today is for Solidity on Ethereum + EVM chains, but we’ve also recently added Rust, Move, and Cairo for smart contracts. And of course, you can still use it with general languages like Python or JS through the base LLMs 🚀

@thegatoomeow Thanks for flagging 🙏 sometimes antivirus tools can throw a false positive on new EXEs. Nora’s build is safe — if you DM us we can get you a direct link and help get you set up.
@lukeglw Thanks so much :)
I don't think I would use it (I already have tools I am using) but I wanted to test and give feedback on the website and download etc... so no other user that really wants to try it, gets the same error as me.

FINALLY, something like this for web3! It's such an unpleasant experience having to explain to a Replit/Bolt/similar about smart contracts, web3 architecture... even basic stuff like having to detail how WalletConnect/Dynamic should be integrated, how ENS names should resolve... there's such a need for this. I suspect it may be too technical/not no/low-code enough for my use cases, but I'll be keeping a close eye, as I'd love to use this.
Nora
@graham_seymour This means a lot 🙌 you nailed exactly the pain we’ve been seeing. Would love to hear how it feels for your use cases when you try 🚀
