Welcome to the **Ecosystem** section — a bird-eye overview of the Tact ecosystem, its tools, and the ways you can start contributing to those and beyond!

Here are its main contents:

<Steps>

1. #### Security audits

   In addition to optimizing gas usage and reducing fees, the security of the Tact ecosystem is of utmost priority. That is why there is a dedicated page for miscellaneous security audits, assessments, and reports for the Tact compiler and Tact smart contracts.

   </CardGrid>

2. #### Tools

   Tools is a list of official and community-made tools made specifically for Tact or those that interact well with the language and other tools. Each tool has brief usage details and additional information, which sometimes is missing from their respective documentation or is a convenient summary available only in the Tact documentation.
