The fee-on-transfer bug that locks funds forever (with a working PoC)
Last week I found this pattern in a real audit. I can't name the protocol — it's under responsible-disclosure until the program confirms a fix — but…
Блокчейн цел, деньги пропали: атаки на оракулы и безопасное чтение цены в Solidity
В начале сентября протокол Tectonic на Cronos потерял около 75 миллионов долларов. Блокчейн при этом работал штатно — консенсус не сломался, приватн…
Тестируем смарт-контракты на Hardhat 3: node:test, viem и ни одного mocha
Hardhat 3 выбросил mocha и chai и теперь тесты гоняет родной node:test, а с контрактом разговаривает viem. Гайды по миграции подробно рассказывают п…
How to Rehearse Smart-Contract Rollback Before Calling a System Upgradeable
A smart contract can accept a new implementation and still have no safe route back. The upgrade transaction may succeed, the old bytecode may remain…
400 rounds, and the bug never showed up. So I stopped rolling dice.
The most expensive bug in the game I just shipped could only fire on 1.01% of rounds. Here is the shape of it. Replay is a betting game where the fi…
Hedera's EVM speaks tinybar, its RPC speaks weibar, and both mistakes return SUCCESS
I lost most of a day to a bug that never once failed. I was building a contract that pays for its own future: an access subscription that re-arms it…
The one fact no Ethereum receipt carries: which transaction ran first
You got sandwiched. Your swap landed between a searcher's buy and their sell, you paid for it, and every receipt you can pull agrees that you were r…
Yul Dark Arts: Understanding the EVM from first principles
In this article, I want to walk you through my experience learning Yul to better understand how the EVM manages memory and how you can use this to y…
Six contracts that pass EXTCODESIZE(owner) > 0 and still withdraw their order
On an order book, the depth you see is a promise. The market maker showing you a bid can pull it in the same block you try to take it, and nothing o…
3 Things I Learned Building a Smart Contract Project with Foundry
When I started building my NFT marketplace in Solidity, my main goal was simple: Make it work. But as the project grew, I realized that writing Soli…
Как выбирать фреймворк для разработки умных контрактов на Solidity для нового проекта?
В этом году стукнуло уже 10 лет, как я разрабатываю умные контракты на Solidity под EVM. В связи с этим решил нап…
Redbelly Network Troubleshooting Guide: 22 Common Developer Errors and Their Fixes
Redbelly Network Troubleshooting Guide 22 common developer errors, with the exact command that fixes each one. Redbelly Network is an EVM-compatible…
Two access-control hacks drained $1.4M this month - the one-line bug, and the check that catches it
In the last few weeks two protocols were drained through the same class of bug: an access-control exploit . RISEx lost ~$673k. WEMIX.FI Lend lost ~$…
5 false positives your Solidity scanner is probably reporting right now
Every automated Solidity security tool has the same disease: it cries wolf. Run one on an audited protocol and you get 600 "findings," 98% of which…
My smart-contract scanner reports almost nothing — and that's the whole point
Most Solidity security tools have the same failure mode: they cry wolf. You run them on an audited protocol and get 600 "findings," 98% of which are…
Function Calling With a Local LLM to Drive Foundry: Fuzz, Read, Repeat
The first time I let a local model drive Foundry unsupervised, it spent eleven turns trying to fix a fuzz test by renaming the test function. Not ch…
Qwen2.5-Coder vs DeepSeek-Coder for Solidity Review: What I Actually See Locally
I keep a folder of ten small Solidity contracts with bugs I planted myself: a classic reentrancy in a withdraw function, a missing access modifier o…
Dev Log 07: Mitigating RPC Latency Desyncs During Polygon Hard Forks
Maintaining real-time transaction tracking layers across a multi-tier infrastructure requires seamless node data synchronization. During heavy netwo…
I ran my Solidity scanner on 6 top-audited DeFi protocols. Every 'critical' was a false positive — here's why.
Most Solidity scanners are high-recall, low-precision. They flag 40 things, 38 are noise, and after the third report you stop reading them — so the…
Dev Log 06: Designing Reentrancy Guards and State Locks in Staking Pools
When building our live core liquidity tiers ( hNobtStaking and BroilerPlusStaking ) on Polygon Mainnet, preventing transaction-ordering dependencies…
I'm Entering My First Sherlock Audit Contest: The Setup, the Plan, the Fear
I have shipped software for 18 years. Roughly 8 of those in crypto. And this week I signed up for my first Sherlock audit contest, and my hands were…
MythX shut down in March and nothing replaced it so I built something
If you were using MythX before March 31st, you already know. ConsenSys quietly sunset the entire MythX suite. One day it was there, the next your CI…
Shipping a Solidity contract to mainnet? Do this 20-minute self-check first
You built something. Tests pass. You're days from mainnet. Before you either skip security entirely (please don't) or spend weeks lining up a full a…
I ran my Solidity scanner across the 10 most-audited codebases in web3. Here's every flag.
The dirty secret of automated smart-contract security tools isn't that they miss bugs. It's that they cry wolf. Point a typical static analyzer at a…
I almost reported a critical bug that didn't exist. One constant saved me.
Last week I was reviewing the staking engine of a protocol before its mainnet launch. Deep in a 1,400-line contract, I found what looked like a seri…
7 ways to drain an ERC-4626 vault (and how a good protocol closes each one)
Based on real audits of production vaults and AMMs. A tokenized vault (ERC-4626) looks simple: deposit assets, get shares; burn shares, get assets b…
I built my first Robinhood Chain app as an index basket
I built a small index basket app on Robinhood Chain because I wanted to understand the developer path from the first contract deploy all the way to…
The Tether Paradox: Shitty ERC-20s, OpenZeppelin, and the Unstoppable Web
I have a confession to make. When I first saw that Tether—the behemoth behind the $110 billion USDT stablecoin—was the primary financial backer of H…
Signature Replay Attacks in Solidity: The Bug That Looks Correct
Some smart contract bugs scream at you. A missing onlyOwner , a reentrancy with the state update after the transfer. Signature replay is not one of…
